MLive will chew over each of the Detroit Lions' positions heading into the start of training camp July 30. Today we hit on the linebackers.
Linebackers
Roster locks: Jarrad Davis, Paul Worrilow, Jalen Reeves-Maybin, Antwione Williams, Nick Bellore
Competing: Tahir Whitehead, Steve Longa, Thurston Armbrister
Notable departures: DeAndre Levy, Joshua Bynes
Breakdown: Almost nothing was good about the Lions' linebacking corps in 2016, when it finished the year without a single sack, interception or forced fumble and played in the middle of a defense that finished dead last in Football Outsiders' defense-adjusted value over average metric for efficiency.
