Jarrad Davis should improve in Patricia's defense

Bob Quinn made it a priority this offseason to revamp his linebacking corps with bigger players to better fit new head coach Matt Patricia’s defensive schemes.

Quinn signed veterans Devon Kennard, Christian Jones and Jonathan Freeny in free agency to bring a bigger pop to that group.

Those players are expected to complement what the Lions already have at the position. Key among those returning players is last year’s first-round pick Jarrad Davis.

“Bob did a great job last year with Jarrad Davis,” Patricia recently said.
