After Joe Tryon was selected by Tampa Bay with the last selection in the 1st round it seemed likely that a pair of teammates would join him shortly today. Levi Onwuzurike and Elijah Molden were projected by most analysts to be 2nd round picks and at least one part of that came true.
The Detroit Lions stood pat with the 9th pick in the 2nd round and selected Onwuzurike to become the newest member of their defensive line. New Lions head coach Dan Campbell made headlines during his intro speech when he preached playing physical football including biting opponents’ knee caps in order to win games.
