#54 DeAndre Levy
 Pos: Linebacker
NFL Team: DET
Injury: OK
Experience: 0
College: Wisconsin
Height: 75
Weight: 228
Born: 3/26/1987
SUMMARY
The Lions defense was dead last in yards and points allowed last season. Needless to say, they had a bad season. Detroit couldn't stop the run at all, allowing a whooping 172.1 yards per game. The secondary wasn't much better, getting just four interceptions all season. The Lions did try to address some of these problems in the offseason, though. New linebackers Julian Peterson and Larry Foote are solid, veteran additions. Both provide could leadership and ability to the Lions defense. Detroit also has two new starting cornerbacks in Philip Buchanon and Anthony Henry. These guys won't shutdown the opposition, but are upgrades from last season. And new defensive-minded head coach Jim Schwartz can't hurt the situation, either. The Lions will be looking at new options in the return game for the coming season. Rookie Derrick Williams and newly acquired Ronald Curry could get the first chances for the job.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
The Lions aren't a viable fantasy defense. They will get a few sacks, but they also are going to allow a lot of points and yards. This unit should be better than last season, but that isn't saying much.
