The Detroit Lions could possibly see both of their starting guards leave in free agency. But Pro Football Focus’ Brad Spielberger suggested the Lions filling that void with Detroit native and free agent offensive lineman Mike Onwenu.
Spielberger named the Lions one of two potential landing spots for Onwenu, who attended Cass Technical High School in Detroit.
“Onwenu may be viewed as a tackle by some teams, which would push him to those offers if that is also his preference, but with Detroit potentially set to lose both starting guards to free agency, Onwenu returns to the state of Michigan, where he played college ball for the Wolverines,” wrote Spielberger. “A right side of the line with Penei Sewell and Onwenu would be absolute smash-mouth football in the run game.”
In addition to being from Detroit, Onwenu played college football for Michigan from 2016-19.
Onwenu spent the past four seasons with the New England Patriots.
