Monday open thread: Is Corn Elder an upgrade over Justin Coleman?
Photo by Grant Halverson/Getty ImagesDespite the immense struggles of the Detroit Lions secondary in 2020, the roster hasn’t undergone the drastic rework you might have expected.
Desmond Trufant was released a year into his contract after poor play and injuries. Duron Harmon, one of the biggest contributors on defense, left in free agency, but with the firing of Matt Patricia, the former Patriot was likely to leave anyway. Miles Killebrew, Darryl Roberts, and Tony McRae also left in free agency, but they were primarily depth pieces.
The secondary player that I want to look at today is Justin Coleman and his replacement, Corn Elder.
