Saturday open thread: Who will lead the Lions in interceptions in 2023?

The Detroit Lions’ completely revamped secondary has a chance to make significant improvements in 2023, not just in overall play, but in creating turnovers. Last year, the Lions defense ranked tied-for-19th in the NFL with 12 interceptions. But after adding guys like Cameron Sutton and C.J. Gardner-Johnson to the roster, and getting Tracy Walker back into the fold, one may expect to see that number increase.

Kerby Joseph led the team in interceptions (4) in 2022 with Aidan Hutchinson (3) right behind him. Cameron Sutton and C.J. Gardner-Johnson are both coming off of career highs in interceptions last year—Sutton with three for the Steelers and Gardner-Johnson with six for the Eagles.
