Mike Mayock and Jon Gruden continued to revamp the secondary this week with the signing of cornerback Nevin Lawson. The 5-year veteran has been able to fight and win a starting spot across from Darius Slay in Detroit despite plenty of competition at the position.
Lawson brings starting experience as well as terrific speed to the secondary. He also has a total of zero interceptions in his NFL career despite numerous opportunities to come down with one. He’s not a perfect player but still can contribute in multiple ways. Here’s a look at his game.
The play above against the Packers Lawson gets his hands on the receiver at the line and slides into a back shoulder position.
