Detroit added Haloti Ngata and Tyrunn Walker last offseason to anchor their defensive line, but only got a snippet of what the duo could do on the field together at full strength.
Ngata was dealing with a shoulder injury early on, and Walker’s 2015 campaign lasted just three and a half games after he suffered a broken leg and dislocated ankle Week 4 in Seattle.
After Ngata got past some nagging injuries that slowed him down early in the year, he played well the second half of the season. Pro Football Focus graded him among the top 15 interior defensive linemen in all of football over the second half of the season.
