This offseason has been a transformative period in the life of Detroit Lions safety Tracy Walker. There's been the good — he and wife Bella are expecting their first child — and there's been the bad — the slaying of cousin Ahmaud Arbery.
Both events figure to shape the man Walker will be going forward.
Arbery's death has been in the national spotlight for months after he was confronted by two armed men while jogging through a neighborhood in Brunswick, Georgia. The men, Travis McMichael and his father Gregory McMichael, allegedly believed Arbery was a suspected burglar and were attempting to make a citizen's arrest.
