The Detroit Lions are loaded on the defensive line, at least if you believe their general manager Bob Quinn. This story by our sister site, “Pride of Detroit”, has more on that. The reality is that the line could be loaded, but it’s far from a proven commodity. According to the same article, only one of their 13 lineman is over the age of 27, and that’s proven defensive tackle Haloti Ngata.
That’s good and bad news for former Eastern Michigan Eagles standout Pat O’Connor, the Lions 7th round pick.
