With rookie Ndamukong Suh, veterans Corey Williams and Kyle Vanden Bosch now on the roster, the Detroit Lions have a new defensive front line this year.
"So far, we look pretty good, Williams told The Detroit Free Press. "But it's the preseason. We ain't going to really get tested until we go to Chicago. That's when we're really going to see how good we are."
The defensive line is key to the Lions' hopes to become a winning team, Bob Wojnowski writes in The Detroit News.
