Amani Oruwariye is entering his fourth NFL season, all with the Detroit Lions. That’s not a wealth of experience, but it makes the 26-year-old Oruwariye a veteran leader in Detroit’s precocious CB room.
While free agent acquisition Mike Hughes has an extra year of playing experience, Oruwariye is more than a full year older than Hughes. That makes him an unusually young greybeard for the team.
Oruwariye feels like he’s ready to step up as a leader and mentor.
