Former top pick of the Bucs signs with the Detroit Lions

The Detroit Lions added to their defense by signing a former top pick of the Bucs this past weekend.

Devin White, once the highest selection by the Buccaneers, has made a move to the Detroit Lions. This transfer occurred over the weekend, as part of the Lions' efforts to bolster their defensive lineup. White, a Pro Bowl linebacker, joined a Lions' defense that is seeking to make a statement, much like the impact White brought to the Raiders last season.

He recorded 174 tackles, emphasizing his physical presence and ability to cover ground, despite his size. White's performance, however, was not without challenges, as he struggled with pass coverage. His recent move to the Lions suggests a potential change in role, aiming to address the Lions' defensive needs.
