‘More powerful’ Walker could be impact DT for Lions

Allen Park – The addition of Tyrunn Walker via free agency last year was met with praise from multiple analysts who believed the Detroit Lions were mining a potential diamond in the rough. But the big defensive tackle barely got an opportunity to prove those observers correct because a broken leg prematurely ended his season in Week 4.

Still, the Lions liked what they saw from Walker in that short time and brought him back on a second one-year contract, this version laden with playing-time incentives.

Walker healed quickly from his injury and has been able to practice all offseason.
