Lions Consider Justin Joly for Second-Round Draft

0:00It's March 26. Welcome in. This is NFL News Today, where football meets AI. The Detroit Lions are looking at Titan, Justin Jolie from NC State as a possible second-round draft pick. With Sam Laporta recovering from a herniated disc, the team wants reliable insurance at the position. Jolie ranks around 53rd on some draft boards, making him a realistic option, despite other needs on the roster. Lions fans know the second round might feel early for a tight end, but Laporta's entry history adds urgency. Jolie stands out for his consistency, playing in nearly every game over four college seasons. His production speaks for itself, with 166 catches for nearly 2,000 yards. Experts give Jolie a very low injury concern, just one out of ten. He missed only one game last year, due to a minor left leg strain, suspected to be a quad issue. Before that, he had perfect attendance every season, marking him as a clean prospect. Medical reports highlight the need to check that leg injury further, but nothing major
