'He causes havoc': Lions bracing for Falcons' Pro Bowl DT Grady Jarrett

If you answer anyone other than Aaron Donald when asked who is the best defensive tackle in football, well, you'd be wrong. Fortunately for the Detroit Lions, they won't have to see Donald this year, outside of an unforeseen postseason meeting.

But this Sunday in Atlanta, they'll have to deal with arguably the next-best thing in Pro Bowler Grady Jarrett.

The Lions are bracing for Pro Bowler Grady Jarrett during this weekend's game.

Jarrett, a fifth-round pick in 2015, is a mold-breaker, much like Donald and eight-time Pro Bowler Geno Atkins. Undervalued because he is undersized, standing just six-foot tall, Jarrett tumbled into the third day of his draft and has been making 31 teams regret that decision ever since.
