Detroit Lions safety Ifeatu Melifonwu was limited to 17 total games in his first two NFL seasons due to injuries, but head coach Dan Campbell said he's seen growth in the 2021 third-round selection. Melifonwu made the switch from cornerback to safety before his second season, and he's making serious progress in adapting to the position ahead of Year 3. "So, this is one of the few times that we've had him for a significant amount of time, consistently, consecutively, and so that in itself is paying dividends right now," Campbell said during minicamp. "So, we see growth. He just needs time. He needs time on task, he needs reps, like a lot of young guys do." The 24-year-old defensive back is one to watch behind Tracy Walker and Kerby Joseph in Detroit's secondary.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerRead More News
