"Jerry Jacobs' Journey: From Starting CB to Earning a Spot Again"

Detroit Lions cornerback Jerry Jacobs, an undrafted free agent, is aiming to earn a starting job for the third consecutive year. Despite lacking elite size and speed, Jacobs impresses with his tenacity and fearlessness on the field. After recovering from a torn ACL, he started eight games in the 2022 season and showed improvement as the Lions' defense began to figure things out. However, with the Lions overhauling their secondary with free agent signings and draft picks, Jacobs will face competition for a starting role in 2023, particularly from Emmanuel Moseley. If he doesn't secure a starting spot, Jacobs will need to prove his versatility as a special teamer and provide depth in the secondary.
