Jaishawn Barham: Lions' Draft Target

0:00On March 28th, Michigan linebacker J. Sean Barham looks like a prime draft target for the Detroit lines. This 22-year-old projects to the second or third round and already had a formal meeting with the team at the Combine. He's got that explosive playmaking vibe on defense, perfect for rushing the passer off the edge. His injury history raises almost no red flags with a concern level of just one out of ten. Over four college seasons, he missed only a handful of games due to minor bumps, nothing that sidelined him long term. Last year, Michigan, he suited up for 12 of 13 games despite a couple tweaks. As a Michigan alum, who's watched every snap, the experts see him as a standout disruptor who could transform the lion's secondary. His speed and instincts scream big plays, sacks, and turnovers just what Detroit needs to level up. Barham wrapped his career with 23 tackles for loss, 12 sacks, one interception, and two forced fumbles.

1:00At the Combine, he clocked the solid 4.64 in the 40 yard dash, showing he's got the athletic tools. The lions are smart to eye him early, and with his clean bill of health, he could slide right into their plans come draft day. This has been NFL News Today, powered by AI.
