Quinn: 4-way battle at safety looms in training camp

The Detroit Lions signed two safeties in free agency to compete for the starting spot next to Glover Quin, but general manager Bob Quinn said today that four players are actually in a heated battle for the job.

"I think there’s one under the radar (position battle) that people are probably not quite sure what we have," Quinn said in an interview on SiriusXM NFL radio. "At the safety position, we obviously have Glover Quin and he’s going to be our starter on one side, and I think the battle to play next to Glover is a really intriguing one and each one of a few guys have really stepped up over the course of OTAs and minicamp.
