With the college football season coming to its end, the Detroit Lions are running out of opportunities to evaluate prospects in game ahead of the 2024 NFL Draft.

General manager Brad Holmes, who has a background in college scouting, was in attendance for Michigan-Ohio State and has always been active in the evaluation process.

As a result, the Lions often wind up drafting players who wind up having strong impacts at the professional level. Here’s a look at five linebackers who the Lions could show interest in when the Draft rolls around in April.

Danny Stutsman, Oklahoma

The Sooners’ defense played a big role in their success early in the season, and Stutsman was a big reason for it. He anchored the unit with 99 total tackles this season, including 16 for loss.

Stutsman has positional versatility, with the ability to play either inside or outside linebacker. Given his physicality, though, he could fit better as a stack linebacker on the inside of Detroit’s defense should the Lions see fit.

His versatility lends itself well to the NFL, and he has been an impact player at both the run and pass aspects of the Sooners defense with three career interceptions. He has an affinity for making big plays and is a rangy defender, which would lend itself nicely to a linebacking corps that struggles against the pass.

Smael Mondon, Georgia

Mondon has been the latest in a long line of talented Georgia defenders. Once again, the Bulldogs have completed an unbeaten regular season thanks in part to an exceptional defense.
