By now, we’ve all been treated to a ride on the Tracy Walker hype train. Though the Detroit Lions’ 2018 third-round pick only played 267 snaps last year—about 27 percent of the defensive plays—his performance was very promising. With Detroit deciding to move on from Glover Quin this offseason, it was a telling sign that the Lions saw enough in Walker’s rookie season that they could rely on him going forward, even if they would end up drafting another third-round safety this year.
Well, if you’re expecting the hype train to slow down right now, you’re going to have to find another place to calm the dragon.
