What Brodric Martin Will Gain from Terrell Williams’ Hiring by the Detroit Lions

Terrell Williams, the new defensive line coach and coordinator of the defensive run game, was the first offseason hire

made by the Detroit Lions. Williams, a seasoned coach with connections to the team, adds a fresh perspective that might

enhance the line. Although the unit was among the best in the league when it came to stopping the run, it found it

difficult to penetrate and apply pressure to opposing passers. An additional party that might profit

Brodric Martin is another party that might gain from having a fresh face in the room. Martin, who was at the bottom

of the depth chart and was seen as a developing player, was a healthy scratch for the majority of his rookie campaign.

Throughout the season, Aaron Glenn, the defensive coordinator, gave Martin some

praise. Martin wasn’t getting many opportunities, but he was getting better on the practice field. His rookie

campaign came to an end with just three appearances and two tackles overall. He only made 28 defensive snaps in total.

Having selected the defensive lineman in the third round of the previous NFL Draft, the Lions have high expectations

for him. They have stuck to their narrative that he was still a prospect with room to develop.

Williams will now become a part of the team in an attempt to support Martin’s

growth. His frame and characteristics position him to be a good player down the road, but he still needs to work on

the details. Luckily for Martin, Williams has a track record of turning underappreciated abilities into

competent players. According to Titans NFL reporter Justin Melo, “The Detroit

Lions are getting anoutstanding motivator and teacher in Terrell

Williams.” His past experiences with Brad Holmes, Ben Johnson, and Dan Campbell should facilitate a smooth

transition for him. Williams frequently developed undrafted free agents like Teair Tart in Tennessee.”

Martin is big enough to be a force against the run, and the Lions seem to think he’s agile enough for the job. He needs to show that he can defeat

opponents with his hands and use his size to overwhelm them in order to stay on the correct path.

Williams has a role to play in that. He has a ton of league experience and a

track record of success, particularly from his time with the Tennessee Titans.

Under his direction, Tennessee has produced some talented individuals, such as Jeffrey Simmons. Simmons, a

2019 first-round pick was chosen twice for the All-Pro second team. Before moving to Tennessee, he spent 2015–17

in Miami. He collaborated with players like Cameron Wake and Ndamukong Suh during that period. He also taught at the

collegiate level for a long time. At North Carolina A&T, he once served as Brad Holmes’ position coach.

Williams’ current assignment is to help Martin and Detroit’s other interior

linemen develop. His presence could be advantageous to Josh Paschal, Levi Onwuzurike, Aidan Hutchinson, Alim

McNeill, and other players. Williams could end up being a perfect fit for Detroit’s young and talented defensive

line, having coached nearly 30 seasons and working with a number of talented defenders.
