One of the Detroit Lions’ most fascinating picks in the 2024 NFL Draft was University of British Columbia offensive tackle Giovanni Manu. Some media members didn’t even have him on their radar and he was a late-rising prospect, but Detroit was convicted enough on his overall talent that they traded a 2025 third-round pick to draft him in the fourth round.
It turns out the intrigue goes even beyond picking an extremely huge and athletic tackle from a low level of competition. Apparently the Lions plan on changing his position—both to the other side of the line and at another position.
