Cornerback Marshon Lattimore has been one of the NFL s best since the New Orleans Saints selected him with the 11th overall pick in the 2017 draft out of Ohio State. Lattimore has allowed under 52% completion percentage when targeted over the last two years. In his 4 NFL seasons he has 10 interceptions, 55 passes broken up, 9 fumbles either forced or recovered, and three Pro Bowls bids.

Cornerback Jeff Okudah had an up-and-down rookie season. He played in nine games (six starts) with 47 tackles, four tackles for loss, one interception and two defended passes.
The athletic traits that made Okudah the No. 3 overall pick showed up enough times to think he can be a special player, if he stays healthy and gets coached up.
Lions head coach Dan Campbell hired Aaron Glenn to be his new defensive coordinator. Glenn comes to Detroit after spending the last five years as New Orleans secondary coach. Glenn inherited a young and underperforming secondary in New Orleans and was able to turn it into a middle-of-the pack unit in his second season and one of the top units in the league this past year.
