Specialists

Detroit Lions Sam Martin


LS: Don Muhlbach | Jimmy Landes (R/6th)
P: Sam Martin | Kyle Christy
K: Matt Prater

The drafting of Jimmy Landes out of Baylor in the sixth round is kind of a head scratcher unless the Detroit Lions are looking to get younger and cheaper at long snapper. Don Muhlbach has done nothing to indicate that he isn’t a replacement level long snapper still in this league. With that being said, you don’t spend a draft pick on a specialist if you don’t plan on keeping him.  Kyle Christy is just in camp to make sure Sam Martin’s leg doesn’t get too tired. The Detroit Lions will likely will bring in another kicker for the same reason at some point, but at this point the group is settled.

Final Roster Prediction: 

53-Man Roster: Landes, Martin, and Prater
Cut: Christy and Muhlbach
