ALLEN PARK -- The Detroit Lions started their morning by coming to terms with one local product. Now they're set to host another, and it's a big one. Literally.
Johnathan Hankins, a 325-pound defensive tackle from Dearborn Heights, is expected to visit the Lions according to ESPN.
This is big news. The Lions have a hole in the middle of their defense after losing Haloti Ngata to the Eagles, and Hankins is one of the best players available at the position. He became a star in four seasons with the Giants, and played well in his lone season with Indianapolis, finishing with 44 tackles, two sacks and three passes defended.
