3 inexpensive free agent cornerbacks the Detroit Lions could sign

3. Chandon Sullivan

Sullivan has played every game for the Green Bay Packers over the last three seasons, with 20 starts over the last two campaigns (10 each season) as he also played more than a 70 percent snap rate in 2020 and 2021. Last season, he set a career-high with three interceptions.

According to Pro Football Focus (h/t to Dairyland Express), Sullivan was top-10 among slot corners in snaps per reception (fourth), snaps per target (tied for third) and yards per snap allowed (10th). According to Pro Football Reference, he allowed a 92.9 passer rating in his coverage and 239 air yards on 44 completions allowed (5.4 air yards per completion). Missed tackles, (six, with a 16.2 percent missed tackle rate according to PFR), were a bit of a thing.

Sullivan has some growth and development room in front of him, and he won’t be expensive to sign. That sounds like an ideal fit for the Lions’ cornerback room.
