The Detroit Lions have one of the youngest roster in the NFL, and that’s obviously by design. General manager Brad Holmes has had a long-term focus for this team since he stepped in the building about 15 months ago. Not only has the team shedded itself from bulky contract of older players, but they’ve focused on the draft and acquiring young players with high upside in free agency.
But the team is also focusing on developing leftover players from the previous regime. For all the faults that Bob Quinn and Matt Patricia had, there are at least a few players they drafted that have been worth keeping around.
