Detroit Lions safety Tracy Walker is ready to put 2020 behind him.
After solid showings in the first two seasons of his career, Walker took a backseat to veteran Duron Harmon and second-year player Will Harris. In fact, Walker played less than 40 snaps in seven of the Lions’ 16 games.
When Walker was on the field, his performance was up and down.
After receiving a 90.7 overall grade from Pro Football Focus in 2019, Walker earned a game grade of above 70 just twice in 2020. His coverage numbers were down, and he did not intercept a pass.
There were good moments, though, too: Eight tackles in back-to-back games to end the season, seven in the season opener against Chicago and a season-high 72.5 PFF pass-coverage grade at Carolina.
