- With Stephen Tulloch out on Wednesday, Tahir Whitehead got No. 1 reps as the Detroit Lions' middle linebacker. Whitehead apparently started practicing in the middle this month in order to be a more versatile linebacker after spending his first two years in the NFL at the outside spots.
-
DeAndre Levy has been focusing on playing weakside linebacker this offseason.
- It sounds like Levy had another interesting offseason away from the football field.
BTW, last year Levy hiked Inca Trail in Peru. This year he did nothing as crazy, just hiked some volcanoes in South America. No big deal.
