The Detroit Lions made some moves this week at the tight end position. An unfortunate injury to Shane Zylstra necessitated one move, and the Lions ended the Derrick Deese Jr. experiment after a flat developmental line in his second offseason.
Replacing Zylstra and Deese are newcomers Daniel Helm and Darrell Daniels. Helm has scant NFL experience (14 career games, one reception), and while he might be more of an apples-to-apples replacement for Zylstra’s particular set of skills, my personal belief is that Daniels has a better chance of making the Lions’ 53-man roster.
