Lions subtly reveal why they aren't too concerned about the pass rush

Tyleik Williams, the Detroit Lions' first round pick from this year's draft, didn't see much playing time this preseason since he was ramping back up to 100% health during minicamp and training camp. However, the Ohio State University product was seen as future piece to the Lions' starting defensive line.

After making the 53-man roster, the rookie's now being tasked with another role: acting as a pass rusher alongside Aidan Hutchinson and Marcus Davenport.

His run blocking is what stands out, of course, but the tackle has the ability to use his size and strength to dictate where an opposing offensive linemen is going, which can help him land more quarterback hits than he did while in college.
