Finding reasons for hope in a failed 2019 Detroit Lions season: Defensive backs

Not a lot went right for the secondary of the 2019 Detroit Lions. Though the unit started out the year as one of the most lauded in the NFL with some like PFF crowning Justin Coleman one of the best signings of the year. That praise died out swiftly and spectacularly.

Losing Quandre Diggs, a fan favorite, when viewed objectively at the time wasn’t that bad of a move. The Lions suffered defensive collapse after defensive collapse and it was just another move pointed to in a laundry list of reasons this team was failing.
