Monday open thread: Which player is a dark horse to make the 53-man roster?

Related Topics: Jahlani Tavai, Breshad Perriman

On Thursday, Jeremy Reisman covered some players that could be surprise cuts as the Detroit Lions trim their roster to 53 players. Today, however, I want to look at players that could surprisingly make the roster.

The preseason has come and gone, and the Lions are left with multiple decisions to make. The choices are difficult for a myriad of reasons. For someone like Breshad Perriman or Jahlani Tavai, their preseason play has been so lackluster that you have to consider cutting them. On the other end of the spectrum are players that shined in preseason but face stiff competition.
