Lions DL Da’Shawn Hand is a bright spot on a dreary Detroit defense

The selection of Da’Shawn Hand in the fourth round of 2018 was met with very little fanfare. The Detroit Lions had signed on Bo Davis to be their defensive line coach, so it was pretty much a given that they were going to be paying close attention to the various defenders coming out of Alabama’s program, but Hand was mostly an afterthought. The once highly touted high school prospect had a quiet college career, but the team thought highly enough of him to sacrifice a third-round pick in 2019 to trade back into the fourth round to select him this year.
