The starters are set at defensive end for the Detroit Lions, but which player will step up as the top backup?
Last year, the Detroit Lions went into the season with two clear-cut starters at defensive end in Ezekiel Ansah and Jason Jones. What wasn't as clear was who would occupy the No. 3 spot at defensive end, and it turned out that George Johnson got the third-most reps at the position. In fact, he was on the field for nearly as many snaps as Darryl Tapp and Devin Taylor combined in 2014.
