You want a late round guy to monitor? Uar Bernard (DL), Nigeria international pathway player. I don't think I've ever seen an athlete like this.
Just looking at him is insane, then you see he has a 39 inch vert, a 10'10" broad, and runs a 4.6. There isn't another athlete in the world like this. Like a freakier version of Manu that could actually see the field.
i just need kerby and bb back
please mr football god(s)

Dan Campbell Wants Lions to Be More Salty: "Getting a little bit of that edge back"
Campbell said the Lions will bring in more young players this season, and he wants those players to be the kinds of guys who spice things up with their effort. He said the kinds of players he envisions adding to the team will have the same character as the players they added when he was building up the roster early in his tenure in Detroit:
“Everybody wants talent, I’ll always want talent, but it’s always nice to have a little bit of saltiness to you over the talent that lacks saltiness because that’s what we were in ’22, and a part of ’23... We had talent, but we had some salty guys and we were highly competitive. We were willing to make it work, figure it out, so just getting a little bit of that edge back. Some of that comes with youth. Now, with youth, you’re gonna have some of the stuff that gets frustrating, the mental [mistakes], but we believe we can get them there as a staff and with the rest of the players we have around them.”

Jeff Risdon with an early prediction for the pick at 17
On the latest DLP Jeff made his prediction. Caveated it with the fact that he obviously doesn't know, and the Lions probably don't either at the minute, but his educated guess was: if we stick at 17 it's TJ Parker or Keldric Faulk.
Extra bits were they've been looking at the mid/late round developmental OTs a lot (mentioned Bowry, Burke, Bell & Crownover specifically) and his spicy take was that they're more likely to take a CB at 17 than an OT. Interesting!
