Tyrunn Walker may be the sleeper of the year
It was so curious why the Detroit Lions allowed defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh to walk in free agency given what he meant to the front. True, they did try to re-sign him but in the end weren’t willing to break the bank. At least that’s the story. Another possibility could be that they felt good enough about what they had on the depth chart behind him to allow the departure. The name that is quietly generating buzz is Tyrunn Walker. He came on strong late last season and is picking up where he left off.
