Ever since the Detroit Lions lost cornerback Bryant Westbrook and safety Kurt Schulz to injury during the 2000 season, they've been unable to find consistency in the defensive backfield.
I did the research and found the Lions have replaced two or more starters in the secondary almost every single season since.His new partner in crime, Eric Wright, is a similar story. Drafted in the same round of the same draft , Wright looked like a Pro Bowl corner in the making until he was undone by some high-profile failures during the 2010 season. According to the Lions coaches, though Wright was victimized by Anquan Boldin and had a couple of other high-profile failures last year, the film shows he was on point the rest of way.
