Lions' Taylor Decker takes big strides toward becoming 'elite left tackle'

Not many things are going right for the Detroit Lions these days, but there are some bright spots hidden by the shadow of the team's 1-3 start to the 2020 season.

Among them has been the performance of left tackle Taylor Decker, who in his fifth season is playing some of the best football of his career. After some ups and downs the past three seasons, the 27-year-old lineman appears to be putting it all together as he enters the prime of his career.

Coming off a middle-of-the-road campaign in 2019, where he allowed seven sacks and committed a team-high 10 penalties, Decker has made major improvements in both areas this year.
