Detroit Lions' Tracy Walker: Defendants in Ahmaud Arbery case 'deserve to rot in prison'

With the Ahmaud Arbery trial now in the hands of a jury, one prominent Detroit Lions player is paying especially close attention to its outcome.

"Honestly, I pray these people get locked up," Lions safety Tracy Walker said Monday. "Like I said, I’m going to call it what it is, they don’t see the time of day again, they don’t get to see no daylight. They deserve that, man. So that’s what I feel."

Walker played with a heavy heart last season after his cousin and former high school teammate, Arbery, was fatally shot by three men in rural Georgia.
