Detroit Lions fans eagerly await the hire of a new head coach to officially kick off the offseason in Detroit, but Lions players are also eager to see what the new coaching staff will look like and how they might fit into the mix moving forward. Chief among them are Detroit’s crop of free agents.
Players like defensive end Ziggy Ansah, defensive tackle Haloti Ngata and linebacker Tahir Whitehead have played major roles in Detroit’s defense the last few seasons.
How will they fit moving forward?
Lions general manager Bob Quinn was very clear after the season that he intends on adding pieces to his defense this offseason in the hopes of bolstering a unit that ranked 27th overall and 21st in points allowed.
