AJ Parker vs. Mike Hughes: Detroit Lions position battle nobody is talking about

We are just over two weeks away from the start of the 2022 NFL regular season and the Detroit Lions still have some undecided battles that need to be resolved.

Of course, there is the backup quarterback battle between David Blough and Tim Boyle, the battle for the No. 2 CB spot between Jeff Okudah and Will Harris, and the kicker battle between Austin Seibert and Riley Patterson, but there is another battle not as many people are talking about is the battle for the slot CB position between AJ Parker and Mike Hughes.

AJ Parker vs. Mike Hughes: Detroit Lions position battle nobody is talking about

Detroit Lions defensive backs coach Aubrey Pleasant recently spoke to the media and he said that the competition between AJ Parker and Mike Hughes is a “very tight” race and it sounds like both players are in a good spot.

“Close,” he said. “Competition brings the greatest of us all.”

“I think we’re passing the peas, we’re giving both of those guys a very good opportunity to fight for their right,” Pleasant said. “I think both of them are two different players and they bring a different form of skill set to our defense but both of them are honorable in what they bring. And I just really believe as a coach, you can’t tell the guys that they’re going to go compete for a spot and not give them an equal slice.”

The Lions coaches have consistently stressed that competition is a great thing when it comes roster spots and that is exactly what is happening in this situation.

Nation, who do you think will eventually win the Detroit Lions starting slot cornerback job? AJ Parker or Mike Hughes?
