Lions contest for second sack leader features Wonnum, Moore, McNeill

Summary

The Detroit Lions face a competitive race for the number two pass rusher behind Aidan Hutchinson. DJ Wonnum, who has a career total of 30 sacks and has been effective when healthy, is entering his seventh NFL season. Rookie Derrick Moore has shown significant potential with impressive college stats, including a dominant season at Michigan, and is projected by some to edge out Wonnum for the second spot. Alim McNeill, returning from an ACL injury and signed to a four-year extension, has the talent to compete if he regains his form. Training camp is set to start soon, offering a platform for these players to establish themselves.
