The Detroit Lions acquired one of the best run-stuffing defensive tackles in the NFL on Wednesday when they traded a 2019 fifth-round pick to the New York Giants for Damon Harrison. Let’s answer some questions about the move:
How much will Harrison help the Lions’ defensive line?
The Lions have one of the worst run defenses in the NFL, and Harrison might be the best interior run defender in the league, so he should have a significant impact. At 355 pounds, Harrison is an immovable object up front. He won’t provide much in the pass-rush department, but the Lions don’t need his contributions there.
