What will be Jashon Cornell’s role with the Detroit Lions during his rookie season?

In my first attempt at such an obstacle as a sportswriter, I’ll be doing a series called ‘Rookie Roles’. Where I go through all the Detroit Lions draft picks and shed light on what I think their role is on this team. If I see them having a role at all.

We’ll start with the last pick and work our way to the third overall pick. And with their final selection in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Lions selected their third Ohio State player in defensive tackle Jashon Cornell.
