The Detroit Lions are considering adding DT Jalen Hunt in the NFL Draft after a Top-30 visit, despite having a strong defensive tackle lineup. A medical report on Hunt highlights potential injury concerns.
The Lions look to be pretty well stocked at the DT position with Alim McNeill and Tyleik Williams. That's why the position scored a relatively low need on my Lions Defense Position Need Rankings.

This Detroit native has had a long college career starting in the Covid season at Michigan State.

On the optimistic side, he finished his college career with a reliable final season. Hunt collected 3.5 sacks and 8 TFL in his college career.
