It’s a question many have asked repeatedly: “Is quarterback Jared Goff the answer for the Detroit Lions at the position going forward?” Is he a stop-gap? Is he in the Motor City just so to help the trade work for the desired draft capital? How long before the Lions draft a new quarterback? Many, many
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver James Washington (13) (Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY Sports) The most concerning positional group for the Detroit Lions entering training camp next month is undoubtedly their wide receiver corps.
