Taken out by low block in 2015, Tyrunn Walker likes chop block ban

Tyrunn Walker's season was ended on a questionable block on his lower legs in Week 4 against the Seattle Seahawks. The Detroit Lions defensive tackle broke his left leg and dislocated his ankle.

He's been rehabbing since -- well enough for the Lions to sign him to a one-year deal last month. The news of the NFL's decision to ban all chop blocks in 2016 was met with much enthusiasm from the man who had his 2015 season ended by one questionable enough to be considered one.

The NFL approved elimination of all chop blocks during the NFL owners meetings on Tuesday.
