During the 2021 season, there weren't many bright spots for the Detroit Lions has Dan Campbell tried to set the foundation for what has come since. One of those bright spots was cornerback Amani Oruwariye, who led the team and tied for third in the league with six interceptions.
But there were red flags in that breakthrough. Pro Football Focus graded Oruwariye as their 89th-best cornerback that season (minimum of around 250 snaps), and his coverage grade came in 83rd out of 129 qualifiers under that minimum snap criteria.
During the 2022 season, those red flags could not be hidden.
