When we last touched base about Detroit Lions general manager Bob Quinn, people were steaming mad. The Lions were 0-2, and a couple of Quinn’s second round picks—A’Shawn Robinson and Teez Tabor—weren’t making the slightest of contributions.
As a result, the GM polled in at just a 26 percent approval rate, his lowest by over 40 percentage points.
Since that game, the Lions have gone 2-1, and Quinn’s rookie class has been a big part of that. Frank Ragnow has locked down the left guard position nicely, Kerryon Johnson is arguably the best rookie running back right now, Tracy Walker has made nice plays in a limited role, and Da’Shawn Hand is a beast.
