Cornerbacks Teez Tabor and Jamal Agnew dipped their toes in the water playing on defense for the Lions this past season as rookies.
Tabor was a healthy scratch the first five games, but worked himself into the lineup (three snaps) Week 6 in New Orleans before earning a much bigger role later in the season, playing 44 snaps against Chicago and Cincinnati in Weeks 15 and 16. In all, Tabor saw 190 snaps on defense.
Agnew was named first team All-Pro as a punt returner, but also got a little bit of experience on defense.
