Despite significant roster improvements under Brad Holmes, the Lions’ pass defense remains a weak point, ranking 27th overall last season. With the NFL Draft approaching, cornerback is expected to be a high priority for Detroit, which lacks a true outside cornerback. Top prospects for the Lions include Toledo’s Quinyon Mitchell, Alabama’s Terrion Arnold, Iowa’s Cooper DeJean, and Clemson’s Nate Wiggins. Day 2-3 possibilities include Missouri’s Ennis Rakestraw, Michigan’s Mike Sainristil, and Wake Forest’s Malik Mustapha. While much of the focus is on cornerbacks, the Lions also need depth at safety. With only Kerby Joseph and Melifonwu as starters and Brandon Joseph as the only other safety under contract, the Lions are likely to add more depth in the latter half of the draft.
Syracuse football has added a defensive back from Philadelphia to its 2025 recruiting class. Ziyyon Bredell committed to the Orange on Monday over Maryland and Pittsburgh. He also had offers from Penn State, Boston College, Nebraska, and others.
