The Detroit Lions are adding another cornerback to compete for a starting job on the outside, bringing in Darrin Walls from the New York Jets.
The 27-year-old Walls was undrafted out of Notre Dame in 2011 and signed with Atlanta. He played one season with the Falcons before heading to New York, where he spent the past four seasons alternating between defense and special teams.
The 6-foot Pittsburgh native has appeared in 54 games, making 64 defensive tackles with three interceptions. He also has 11 career special teams tackles.
Walls played intermittently on defense last season for the Jets, but saw a lot of work in 2014, when he played 720 snaps, making 40 tackles with two interceptions.
