The Lions have an opening at WILL linebacker in Kelvin Sheppard’s defense after veteran Alex Anzalone signed with Tampa Bay in free agency this offseason. Veterans Malcolm Rodriguez and Damone Clark will be competing for the role, but Rolder’s selection gives the Lions another player to evaluate.
“I just play hard,” Rolder said. “I’m a tough, physical player, high effort and strong leader and communicator on the field. I think I play very smart, and I know a lot of football and a lot of schemes and I just think I fit in the mold of what they’re looking for.”
