One of the Detroit Lions’ division rivals is turning heads—and not in a good way. They’ve just signed a player that many in Detroit consider one of the franchise’s most disappointing draft picks in recent memory.
The unnamed rival is rolling the dice on a former Lions defender who never quite lived up to expectations in the Motor City. Whether it was inconsistent play, injuries, or scheme fit, things simply didn’t pan out in Detroit—and fans remember it well.
Now, that same player has a fresh start, but with a team that’s supposed to be contending in the same division. It’s a puzzling move that’s already raising eyebrows among analysts and fans alike, especially given how badly things went the first time around.
The Lions, meanwhile, appear to have moved on and upgraded their roster with younger, hungrier talent. If this move backfires—as many expect—it could give Detroit yet another edge in what’s shaping up to be a very competitive 2025 season.
