Defensive Line

  • Trey Flowers
  • Damon Harrison
  • Mike Daniels
  • Romeo Okwara
  • A’Shawn Robinson
  • Da’Shawn Hand
  • John Atkins
  • Austin Bryant
  • PJ Johnson

The Lions have poured a lot of resources into this position group under Patricia. This includes the recent free agent signings of Flowers and Daniels. Harrison, Okwara, Hands, and Watkins are all experienced players who will make up a solid rotation. Bryant and Johnson are two 2019 draftees who will improve and get more playing time as the season goes on.

Player to watch: Darius Kilgo
