in Auburn-Mississippi St. matchup Iowa State at #25 Oklahoma State Detroit Lions T-Shirt , 3:30 p.m. EST, ESPN2Oklahoma StateRB Justice Hill, 5-foot-10, 190 pounds (Junior)Hill is a bit undersized at running back, but should the Lions part ways with LeGarrette Blount, or Theo Riddick becomes a cap casualty—or both—then they’re not going to be looking for a bell cow. They have Kerryon Johnson and they’ll likely be looking for someone to fill a role and Justice Hill could be a nice option for them.7.5 yards per carry. That’s what Hill is averaging right now in this young 2018 season. Hill is as smooth as it gets carrying the football and is a threat to break out for a big play any time he touches the ball. With his frame and playmaking ability, you’d like to see him more involved in the passing attack—only five catches in five games for 31 yards. Currently, Hill is considered to be a Day 2 prospect by most outlets, but I could easily see his stock falling pretty far if he’s unable to give teams a reason to keep him out there on third down, especially at his size. #8 Auburn at Mississippi State, 7:30 p.m. EST, ESPN2Auburn Despite their No. 8 ranking, there aren’t a whole lot of top-end, draft-eligible prospects surrounding the Auburn program. A couple weeks ago, we focused on quarterback, Jarett Stidham, who struggled against LSU.This week Detroit Lions Hats , we turn our heads to the defensive side of the ball.IDL Derrick Brown, 6-foot-5, 325 pounds (Junior)Brown is a big dude, and with his towering height comes his inconsistent pad level. He looks every bit of his listed 325 pounds out there bulldozing through offensive linemen and through the souls of running backs/quarterbacks.When I saw this play I screamed and almost fell out of my chair. That is such a dangerous tackle, but still, the fact that he was able to pull off Triple H’s finishing move on the football field has me sold. Brown is far from a polished prospect, but I love his size and think he would be a nice fit for Patricia due to his ability to anchor and control the interior. Mississippi StateIDL Jeffrey Simmons, 6-foot-4, 300 pounds (Junior)Simmons is a name that has been often mocked to the Lions and sits as a top-10 prospect on most draft boards. He is a fantastic athlete and showcases dominance in both the run game and as a pass rusher.If the Lions were able to land Simmons, then they probably didn’t have themselves a great year—unless his production falls off drastically. However, Simmons is a great talent and is a player that you can build your front-seven around. EDGE Montez Sweat, 6-foot-6, 245 pounds (Senior)This a great draft class for teams that are looking to improve their front seven and Sweat is just another name garnering first-round hype. Though he may not have elite bend around the edge, Sweat makes up for any speed pass rushing deficiencies with his strong hand usage and technical prowess at the point of attack. Sweat is quick for his size and does a nice job of staying disciplined while keeping his eyes on the ball. A lot of the hype surrounding Sweat as a prospect is due to his sack numbers and pass rush ability, but he’s no slouch in the run game by any means. As a run defender, Sweat sets the edge well with great discipline. He’s not the type of player who’s going to take a play off or just sit there and he’s constantly using his hands to get off blocks and chase down the ball carrier.Thursday open thread: Which Packers player—outside of Aaron Rodgers—scares you the most? The Green Bay Packers have been accused by many—including their own fans—of being a one-man team. Aaron Rodgers has been the face of that franchise for years now, and so goes Rodgers Detroit Lions Womens Hoodie , as do the Packers. When he’s on, the Packers are as dangerous as any other team in the NFL. We he’s off or injured, the Packers aren’t just mortal, they’re bad. His supporting cast has always seemed lackluster, which is likely why Rodgers only has a single championship to his name. But this year, the Packers went out and found themselves a new general manager, and although they’re off to just a modest 2-1-1 start, many believe there’s something different about this Packers team. There may be some more dangerous players on both sides of the ball that opposing coaches will have to account for. So today’s Question of the Day is:Which Packers player, outside of Aaron Rodgers, scares you most for?My answer: Aaron Jones.It’s no secret that the Detroit Lions’ run defense has been an absolute disaster thus far. They’ve made Matt Breida and Isaiah Crowell look like elite backs and Ezekiel Elliott look like... well, Ezekiel Elliott. Jones is exactly the type of back Detroit has been vulnerable to: a speedy, shifty guy that can test the edges of the defense. He’s had a modest start to the season after serving a two-game suspension. In Weeks 3 and 4, he combined for 17 carries, 107 rushing yards and a touchdown. The Packers like to spread their distribution in the backfield, but Jones’ 6.3 yards per carry may be enough to warrant more touches over Jamaal Williams (3.4 YPC) and Ty Montgomery (4.5 YPC). Rodgers is always a scary player to go up against, but he may not even have to be himself on Sunday if the Lions can’t stop Jones.Your turn.Tweets from https://twitter.com/PrideOfDetroit/lists/lions-coverage
