Summary
Detroit’s defense is poised for a major leap this season, with health returning to the defensive line and Aidan Hutchinson finally getting the support he needs. But three key players—Levi Onwuzurike, Alim McNeill, and Mekhi Wingo—must deliver big performances to make it happen. Onwuzurike, recovering from ACL surgery, needs to prove he’s still elite. McNeill, back to his explosive self after injury setbacks, could reignite his career. And Wingo, facing pressure after a brutal injury-shortened 2025, must show major improvement or risk being cut. Their camp and season performances will decide if this unit can finally dominate and anchor the Lions’ defense. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
