Caleb Tiernan: Lions' Long-Term OT Solution?

0:00It's March 27. From breaking news to Sunday matchups, this is NFL News Today, powered by AI. The Detroit Lions are dealing with a big gap at offensive tackle after Taylor Decker's exit. They recently signed Larry Borum as a short-term fix, but the team needs a solid long-term option heading into the draft. Eyes are turning to Caleb Tiernan from Northwestern as a potential second-round pick. He's ranked number 42 on Jeff Risen's draft board from mid-February. Tiernan has shown great reliability in college, starting every game he played in recent years. From 2025 back to 2022, he suited up for all or nearly all contests each season. A fresh medical review puts his entry risk at just one out of ten, with no reported problems on record. His only minor knock is being a bit older at 23 by the start of the 2026 season. That clean bill makes Tiernan an appealing target as the Lions build out their line for years to come.
