Summary
The Detroit Lions are betting big on their under-the-radar veterans this season—here’s who’s poised to breakout and who might be on the way out. Isaac TeSlaa, a big-play wideout with six TDs last year, is primed for a bigger role. Cornerback Ennis Rakestraw, back from injury and bulked up, has a chance to seize a starting spot. Defensive end Ahmed Hassanein, sidelined by injury but returning to practice, brings unique athleticism. But not all bets are winners—Giovanni Manu and Colby Sorsdal, both offensive linemen with injury histories, are struggling to prove their worth. And running back Sione Vaki, traded up for, is stuck on special teams with little hope of a RB role. The Lions’ roster shakeup is coming—and these players are at the center of it.
