The Detroit Lions have made a significant change to their personnel department in parting ways with director of pro scouting Brendan Prophett Dwayne Washington Jersey White , per Dave Birkett of the .The move was first reported by Chris Stratton of Inside The League.Prophett was hired by the Lions when Bob Quinn joined the organization as the team’s General Manager in 2016. He’s the second high-ranking member of the front office to depart the team this offseason as top contract negotiator Matt Harriss was fired in January. Harris has since taken the same position with the Arizona Cardinals.Changes to scouting departments are most common following the NFL Draft. However, with Prophett’s role being mainly in pro scouting and with the most critical stages of free agency in rear-view mirror, the Lions apparently felt comfortable making the change sooner than later.Prophett spent 15 years with the New York Jets serving in various front office roles as he progressed to the team’s director of pro personnel from 2007-14. He joined the Lions after spending the 2015 season serving as an area scout for the New Orleans Saints.

Kyle Terada-USA TODAY SportsIt happens every year. A player everyone assumed was done for exceeds expectations. For example Sam Martin Jersey , in 2017, everyone thought TJ Jones was never going to grow into a passable No. 4 receiver. Then he surprised everyone and caught 30 balls for nearly 400 yards. Of course, just as soon as his career blossomed, he fell down to earth in 2018 and now finds himself looking for his next team.Still Womens Jake Rudock Jersey , the points stands. There is very likely at least one person on the Lions roster who will surprise and exceed expectations for the 2019 season. So today’s Question of the Day is:Which Lions player is most likely to have a bounce-back year?My answer: Maybe it’s not fair to call it a bounce-back year, but I think there’s a good chance that Devon Kennard bounces back after a rough second half to the season. Kennard started the season hot, tallying 5.0 sacks in his first five games. However, he only had two in the final 11 and just seemed to be a lesser factor in the team’s defense.But with a full offseason to prepare and learn Matt Patricia’s defense DeShawn Shead Jersey White , along with an even better cast of defenders around him, Kennard should be better in 2019. He may not be used a ton as a pass rusher, as it’s not exactly his specialty. In fact, it’s quite possible he becomes more of a role player Marvin Jones Jr Jersey White , as Detroit slowly work a guy like Jahlani Tavai into the lineup.Still, I think with a more defined, limited role Kennard should be a good player on this defense at the level he was when he first arrives.Your turn.Tweets from https://twitter.com/PrideOfDetroit/lists/lions-coverage
