Roster impact of the Detroit Lions selecting OL Colby Sorsdal

After a whirlwind first two days in the 2023 NFL Draft, the Detroit Lions stood pat on Day 3 and waited for their next pick to come to them. With pick No. 152 in the fifth round, they selected offensive lineman Colby Sorsdal.

Sorsdal has played 1866 snaps over 46 starts at right tackle at W&M, but a possible move inside to guard may be in his future. Last season, Sorsdal led the Griffins' offensive line, and they surrendered a minuscule 0.77 sacks per game.

His senior year performance earned him an invitation to the East-West Shrine All-star game and there was where he first met with the Lions.
