I watch this kids tape and I’m left thinking that he can play LB, Nickel, or Safety.

Yeah, he was a steal!

Guy has actually had a decent career all things considered. Never would be able to outplay his draft slot but that isnt on him.

From Tim Twentyman:

“Detroit’s linebacker group, along with the defense overall, was a very good tackling unit in 2025. Detroit had the third fewest missed tackles in the NFL this season with 76. Only New England (71) and Kansas City (75) had fewer. Low missed tackle numbers correlate to limiting yards after the catch and Detroit’s 1,539 yards allowed after the catch were the second fewest in the NFL behind only Buffalo (1,539).”

That’s a positive. Now let’s try stopping the run again. The run defense gave me night terrors last year.

I think this team has been missing a certain type of player for a couple of seasons … it’s a bigger safety type guy that can play the run.

I know they are probably tough to find … but having a grumpy safety that is 6-1ish 225 lbs that can run and hit a little would really help.
