Lions Secondary Under Fire | Detroit Lions News

The Detroit Lions’ secondary is under scrutiny, but head coach Dan Campbell insists it’s the best it’s been in years—even without key safeties Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph. Starters D.J. Reed and Rock Ya-Sin are proven performers, with Reed locked into a big contract and Ya-Sin delivering strong stats last season. But depth remains shaky, with inconsistent veterans like Roger McCreary and unproven second-round pick Ennis Rakestraw struggling to find their footing. The team’s reliance on aging veterans Chuck Clark and Avonte Maddox adds pressure, yet Campbell remains bullish, stressing that execution over individual stardom will carry the unit. He believes every player must do their job—and the defense is built to function as a cohesive unit. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
