Detroit Lions: 4 dark horses who could make the roster

Guessing the entire 53-man roster correctly for the Detroit Lions is highly unlikely. Minus injuries, predicting how the chips fall is all a crap shoot.

It’s typical to see a surprise player or two earn a roster spot. Disregarding any undrafted free agents, here are four players with a good shot to stick with the Lions.

Prior to joining the Lions, Johnson was a productive 3-4 outside linebacker with the Clevland Browns. In 2016, he racked up 32 tackles, 3.0 sacks, and two forced fumbles in 12 games and nine starts.

If not for injuries, Johnson would’ve been on a roster last season.
