Detroit Lions need another playmaker at cornerback

Detroit Lions cornerback Darius Slay has his side of the field locked down. The former Pro Bowler has played at an elite level for most of his career and has established himself as one of the league’s best players at the position. Opposite of Slay, no other cornerback has been able to provide stability at the position.

Cornerback Nevin Lawson was a fourth-round pick for the Lions in 2014. He began his career in Detroit as a backup but quickly was promoted to the starting slot corner. Lawson entered the 2016 season as the team’s second starting cornerback alongside Slay.
