As the Detroit Lions perhaps look to free agency to reinforce their defensive line, could a reunion with Ndamukong Suh be in play?

There was good and bad for the Detroit Lions pass catchers this season, but they did stand out in one category. A thin Detroit Lions wide receiver corps got thinner when 2021 free agent signings Tyrell Williams and Breshad Perriman didn’t even make it through Week 1 healthy or on the roster. Perriman was cut

A writer from The Draft Network has laid out a pretty interesting scenario for the Lions in a recent two-round 2022 mock draft.
