The Detroit Lions have already quietly enjoyed a big offseason defensively, and there have been some very impressive performances from that side of the ball as training camp has gone on.
While Detroit's offense always piles up headlines, the defense flies firmly under the radar. Perhaps that shouldn't be the case any longer, because there is some major talent stepping up to be noticed.
One of the players who has come into the mix is cornerback D.J. Reed. Signed this offseason, Reed is expected to be a top option for the Lions in the backfield.
