Through a month of the Detroit Lions offseason program, without a doubt, the secondary has been the star of the show. While the defense is typically ahead of the offense at this point, it’s not very common that the defensive backfield is this dominant in the offense-favored 7-on-7 sessions. On Tuesday, during red zone drills, the first and second-team offense found the end zone just a single time in around 8-10 attempts.
But don’t just take my word on it. Lions quarterback Jared Goff pointed out after the team’s first minicamp practice that Detroit’s new secondary has been making his life much harder—and that’s a good thing.
