Tracy Walker played very little special teams at Louisiana-Lafayette. A four-year starter, he was considered too important for the Ragin’ Cajuns to use in the third phase of the game.

But with Glover Quin, Quandre Diggs and Tavon Wilson currently ahead of him on the depth chart, Walker is well aware that special teams will be his quickest path to playing time with the Detroit Lions.
