Ennis Rakestraw Jr. is poised for a breakout season with the Detroit Lions — his make-or-break year to prove he’s not just another draft bust. After missing most of his first two NFL seasons due to injuries, Rakestraw’s physical development and steady improvement in college (24 pass breakups, 8 tackles for loss) have caught the eye of coaches. Splitting first-team reps with veteran Rock Ya-Sin during offseason workouts, he’s now in a three-way race for the starting cornerback spot next to DJ Reed. With head coach Dan Campbell praising his newfound muscle and readiness, Rakestraw could be the long-term answer at CB — if he can finally stay healthy.
