## Resource

The Detroit Lions’ defense is in crisis, and Kelvin Sheppard’s future hangs in the balance. After losing key coordinators and struggling mightily last season—marked by run-stopping failures and a defensive line that crumbled under pressure—Sheppard, once hailed as a rising star and even interviewed for head coach jobs, now faces intense scrutiny. With Dan Campbell backing him but the offense brimming with potential, Sheppard must deliver immediate results or risk becoming the team’s biggest liability. This is his make-or-break year.
