When it comes to things that new Detroit Lions cornerback D.J. Reed is hoping to bring to his new team, the veteran said most things cornerbacks would. He’s eager to cover, loves playing man-to-man, and in true Detroit Lions fashion—he wants to get his nose dirty in the run game, as well.
“Most corners don’t want to tackle. Most corners want to cover. I like to throw myself out there when I have to,” Reed said.
But the 28-year-old cornerback knows that he’s entering a young cornerback room, too. The Lions drafted two cornerbacks last year: 21-year-old Terrion Arnold and 22-year-old Ennis Rakestraw.
