Going into 2020, many believed this would be a breakout season for Detroit Lions safety Tracy Walker. With two years of promising experience behind him and some help in the secondary with Jeff Okudah and Duron Harmon, it appeared the stars had aligned for Walker to break out into the national scene.
That couldn’t be further from what happened. Towards the end of training camp, Lions coaches started to place Will Harris with the first-team defense over him, and when Week 1 came, Walker shockingly did not start. He didn’t start in Week 2, either.
