Devin White Brings Championship Edge to Lions | Detroit Lions News

Devin White, the NFL’s most productive linebacker last season with 174 tackles, is bringing his elite play to the Detroit Lions after stints with the Raiders and Texans. After a dip in Tampa Bay and limited snaps in Houston, White found his form with Las Vegas — despite the team’s losing record — but the constant defeats were mentally taxing for a player who’d never known defeat growing up. He was drawn to the Lions’ winning culture and now thrives as a veteran mentor in their young linebacker corps, helping elevate teammates like Derrick Barnes and Malcolm Rodriguez. Defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard praises White’s championship pedigree while noting he’s still being pushed to reach his full potential — fitting the Lions’ demanding, growth-oriented environment. His arrival also adds a crucial pass-rushing dimension to a defense already anchored by Aidan Hutchinson. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
