Back in May, our own John Whiticar asked if there were any dark-horse candidates to make the Detroit Lions’ 2023 roster. It’s a fun topic that time of year because you’re basically just guessing based on little-to-no results. You’re attaching yourself to a rookie prospect or hoping a player takes a significant jump in his development this year. Many of the answers in the comment section have already been proven wrong (Greg Bell, Tom Kennedy, DeAndre Hopkins [lol]). One of the more popular answers, Starling Thomas V, seems very much on his way to procuring a spot on the roster.
