Lions | Erik Coleman trying to secure starting job Sun Jun 17, 10:03 PM
Detroit Lions SS Erik Coleman is eight pounds lighter this offseason, and he said Sunday, June 17, that he is at the same weight and in the same shape as he was entering the 2008 and 2009 seasons with the Atlanta Falcons. In those two seasons, he started all 16 regular season games in each year, and posted 127 and 139 tackles.
| Footballguys view: Coleman has worked with the first-team a lot this offseason due to injuries at the position. The starting safety spot opposite FS Louis Delmas is wide open, so Coleman may return to the starting lineup. |
