2017 training camp preview: Defensive end.

By the numbers:

26: Total number of sacks recorded by the Lions last season, which ranked tied for 30th

152: Total points allowed by the Lions defense the last eight games of the season. That total was the sixth lowest in the league and nearly 30 points fewer than the NFL average.

15: Sacks by Robert Porcher in 1999, which is the official recognized record for sacks in a season for the Lions (Al ?Bubba? Baker had 23 in 1978 before sacks became an official stat). Will someone break Porcher?s record in 2017?

Quotable: ?I take it personally,? Ansah said of Detroit's low sack total a season ago. ?I feel like I didn?t do my job. That is what I?m paid to do.

?So, like I said, I?m really focused this year and excited for what we have coming up and it?s definitely going to be better than last year.?

Four different Detroit Lions saw at least 14 red-zone targets in 2016.
Eric Ebron was not among them, as he had only six. But, with the departure of Anquan Bolding this offseason (20 red-zone targets in 2016), and with Ebron continuing to develop as a tight end, some reports indicate Ebron?s red-zone workload could shoot up in 2017.
