Quinton Dunbar quotes/ info: 2021 season

detroit-lions-forum.proboards.com/thread/1111/quinton-dunbar-quotes-info-season

Quinton Dunbar ended up not having the positive impact for the Lions that I thought he could have. It turned out that Quinton Dunbar didn't have an injury that kept him out of Lions Training Camp. The bottom line for the Lions is Dunbar didn't pan out but his cap charge is minimal.

Hopefully, Dunbar's personal situation improves greatly ASAP.

It's very encouraging that Jeff Okudah has made massive strides in training camp. But the overall Lions CB situation beyond Okudah has question marks all over the place.

Craig Reynolds is a long shot to become an established NFL player with the Lions or probably with any other team as well

Bills 16, Lions 15: Pre-season Game # 1 (2021 )

I had no recall of Craig Reynolds when reading that the Lions signed him. Reynolds' rushing performances against the Bills in the pre-season opener was one of the most pleasant surprising Lions performances in any type of game. Much of the Lions fans and media focus will understandably be on him this week.

Steelers 26, Lions 20: Pre-Season Game # 2 ( 2021 )

Much like with Derrick Barnes and David Blough, I hope the Lions coaches decide to give Gerald Reynolds much earlier snaps against the Colts in the pre-season finale. Barnes is a lock to make the opening day 53 man roster, barring the injury factor. But he could warrant playing more on Defense early in the season than it looked like would be the case with him missing so much practice time.

In the cases of Blough and Reynolds, seeing them against better competition could go along way in determining whether they should be exposed to waivers? Reynolds' upside might turn out higher than anyone could have imagined.

It's easy to pull for Craig Reynolds. In addition to Reynolds being a great story, he could end up being a major help to the Lions if he continues on his current path.
