Grant Stuard prefers Lions despite crowded linebacker depth

Grant Stuard, a new linebacker for the Detroit Lions, chose the team despite a crowded depth chart. He signed a one-year deal, citing the team's strong culture and competitive spirit as key factors in his decision. Stuard, 26, previously played for the Indianapolis Colts and has a solid track record, missing only two games in four seasons. He aims to contribute to the Lions' success and improve alongside established players. The Lions already have experienced linebackers, including Alex Anzalone and Jack Campbell. Stuard is eager to learn from them and bring his high-energy style to the team, focusing on special teams and defensive opportunities.
