Detroit Lions linebacker Jahlani Tavai is listening to and watching his new teammates as he tries to make a leap in his second year.
The Lions added veteran linebackers Jamie Collins and Reggie Ragland this offseason, and Tavai is picking up on the little things they do that make a big difference.
“They bring that wisdom,” Tavai said, “that us younger guys — second year, rookie like Julian (Okwara) —like they bring that wisdom we need just so we can pick up those little things where we can see the bigger picture when we’re on the field.
