The Detroit Lions picked up a Super Bowl-winning cornerback on Friday, furthering their effort to bolster their depth at the position this offseason.
Former Eagles CB Avonte Maddox joins D.J. Reed and Rock Ya-Sin as the latest additions to the Lions's secondary, providing additional veteran experience and depth to a position that was significantly depleted for Detroit last year.
What does Avonte Maddox bring to Detroit?
Maddox, 28, is coming off of a Super Bowl-winning season in Philadelphia. Though used primarily in nickel situations throughout last season, he made a key play against the Chiefs in the Super Bowl that helped close the door on Patrick Mahomes, deflecting a 4th-down pass that gave the ball back to the Eagles in the third quarter.
