Two days ago, we mentioned an article by Chris Burke over at The Athletic contemplating the backup quarterback situation in Detroit. The team has 29-year-old Tom Savage and 26-year-old Connor Cook on the roster, but neither has ever been billed as a succession plan behind Matthew Stafford. Thursday, other parts of the Lions beat checked in with these younger veterans who are both hoping to make the roster as the number two guy.
Justin Rogers from the Detroit News covered Savage’s journey from the time he was a highly touted high school prospect to being the professional he is today.
