Dan Raley has covered University of Washington football since 1987.
He answered five questions regarding Levi Onwuzurike, the Detroit Lions' second-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.
1.) What are the Lions getting in DL Levi Onwuzurike?
Dan Raley: I’ve encountered all the great defensive linemen who have come through Husky Stadium -- among them Steve Emtman, a No. 1 overall draft pick and the catalyst for the national champs, plus Super Bowl champion Vita Vea, a pair of eventual Detroit Lions players in Danny Shelton and the late Reggie Rogers and now Levi Onwuzurike.
Unlike those other guys, Onwuzurike sort of snuck up on us. Oh, we knew Levi was good. After all, he came all the way from Texas to the Great Northwest to play his college football. Yet, he was sort of laid back and fun to talk to, whereas those other guys often had steam coming out of their ears.
