Discussion: Which Lions player will you be watching closest in the 1st preseason game?

Levi Onzurwike. If the dude starts performing like he was portended to be, i.e. a high 2d Rd pick, that would be huge for a Lions DL which featured one of the worst graded performers on PFF–Benito Jones–and bottom of the roster types–Quinton Bohanna, Tyson Alualu, and Isaiah “Eat Ze” Buggs.

I think the premise of the question is that you only get to pick one. :wink:

I reject the premise, lol.
If I have to narrow it to one player then it will be one of
Betts
N Lynn
M Agude

The obvious answer is Levi but I will go with Nate Lynn.

It’s Hooker for me. I doubt that I have to list the reasons why.

Another excellent choice.
Wonder how the time will be split bewteen him and Sudfeld, would hope to see him against the better Giant players.

Does anyone know the Giant’s plan for the game?
Starters playing at all or just second/third string guys?

The fact that several different beat writers have all positively commented on him makes him an intriguing darkhorse candidate for a roster spot.

“Let’s see how he does when the `lights come on’ so to speak.”

The one player I’ll be watching closest on offense and on defense is:

Morice Norris on defense because of beat writers hyping him and our safety depth is lower case iffy.

GioMan on offense because I want to see something more of him than the grainy draft clips of him at British Columbia. Just how far does this ball of clay have to go? I hope Sudfeld is playing then.

What a refreshing change for our beloved Lions. Its like no one cares if we win or lose, its about seeing how the young uns are growing and who has the best chances of making the 53.
Do you remember when preseason games helped us see who might Crack the starting line up?
My, how times have changed and this team has grown!

Bates for me. Hoping he busts a few long ones.

Hooker for me as well. Add Bates to that list.

With DJ Reader possibly out to start the season i wouldnt play Levi or Alim a single snap this preseason.

Preaseason is now for players who need reps or are fighting to make the team. I don’t think Levi needs reps at this point.
