Assuming that all of their main contributors are healthy and available, the Detroit Lions figure to boast one of the most formidable defensive fronts in the NFC, and perhaps in the entire NFL in 2019. That didn’t preclude them however, from hosting a former Lion – one who appeared in all 16 games for them last season – on a visit this week.
On Tuesday, reports surfaced that defensive tackle Ricky Jean-François visited the Lions, though no signing appears imminent. This is a very similar situation to a year ago, when he signed a one -year deal with the Lions on July 25th, on the cusp of that last season’s training camp.
