Why it Matters for Will Harris and Detroit Lions
Many people believed the Lions would move on from Harris but that will not be the case as they are reportedly bringing him back on a 1-year deal. Harris, who started off his career at the safety position, was eventually moved to cornerback, where he was much more reliable. With the Lions having one of the worst secondaries in the entire NFL in 2023, it is clear that they are focusing on making sure that is not the case in 2023, as they have now signed (or are re-signing) three CBs in free agency.
