In the 8 seasons Nickell Robey-Coleman has been in the NFL( prior to the new season ), he's only missed 2 games. That's remarkable durability for a CB NRC's size.

Though NRC has been very durable over the years, a question that comes to mind is whether the high % of missed tackles in the 2020 season with the Eagles is a reflection of age & wear and tear catching up to NRC?

Nickell Robey-Coleman wants to leave his 'footprint' with the Lions

.......

Though it's good to see a player want to play for the Lions and likes the direction the Lions are going in, Nickell Robey-Coleman probably didn't get a contract offer from another team that was attractive. When a player who was available on the open market since March signs a contract the 2nd week of August, the demand for his services should be kept in context of the contract he ended up signing.
