The two offensive and two defensive players who are the X-factors to Detroit Lions success

As I watch videos on Twitter of Cleveland Browns rookie corner Greddy Williams making some impressive plays in his first preseason action, I dream off and imagine two different worlds. One being a world in which Jahlani Tavai’s struggles turn out more worthy of a late 6th-round pick than the mid-2nd-rounder the Lions used to not draft a Pro Bowl-caliber Greddy Williams. The other world, which is vastly more pleasant, is Jahlani Tavai emerging as that x-factor presence on defense that roams stealthily behind one of the league’s best defensive lines. Defensive ROTY contention is a hopeful result.
