Per the Detroit Free Press (Second Fiddle):

"Players typically make their biggest jumps between their rookie and second seasons, and the Lions are hoping two players will take significant steps forward this year to help their defense: Levi Onwuzurike and Derrick Barnes… Barnes’ role is a little murkier after the Lions signed Jarrad Davis and Chris Board in free agency. Alex Anzalone projects as one starting linebacker, and Board has the ability to play on third downs. Barnes flashed ability as a rookie, but will need to be more consistent to earn a regular role in Year 2."

I am wishing him well. One of the few positives of watching "my team" Detroit Lions was looking for his number (55) on D.
