Detroit Lions cornerback battle heating up, coming down to consistency

DeShawn Shead, Nevin Lawson or Teez Tabor — who's it going to be?

All three cornerbacks are leading candidates for the starting spot opposite of Darius Slay. And all three have been battling during Detroit Lions training camp.

"It's real competitive, we have a competitive room," Tabor said. "Everyone wants to be the best and that only makes everyone better."

"Competition is good," Lawson added. "We have a great chemistry and we demand greatness out of each other. We push each other and that's a great thing."

Lawson in the familiar face, starting 15 games for the Lions last season and playing in 48 games during his four-year career in Detroit.
