The Detroit Lions spent two of their first four picks in their vaunted 2013 NFL draft class on pass rushers.
Ziggy Ansah, the fifth pick of that draft, emerged last year as one of the best defensive ends in the NFL. He had a career-high 14.5 sacks, made the Pro Bowl for the first time and will be instrumental in everything the Lions do this fall.
Fourth-round pick Devin Taylor didn’t make quite as big of an impact, but the South Carolina product had a breakout season of his own in 2015.
Taylor doubled his career total with seven sacks while playing as a rotational end, and the Lions are counting on him to replace Jason Jones as a starter this fall.
