Ennis Rakestraw Jr., a second-round pick in 2024, missed the entire 2025 season after a preseason injury—but now, with Terrion Arnold gone and the Lions’ cornerback depth thinning, his chance to shine is finally here.

With Rock Ya-Sin penciled in as the other cornerback, don’t be surprised if Rakestraw battles his way into the starting lineup by training camp’s end. This is the comeback story football fans love: talent, grit, and a second chance to prove himself.
