Lions Eye Caleb Tiernan as OT Replacement in Draft

The Lions are targeting Caleb Tiernan, a clean 23‑year‑old OT from Northwestern, as a potential 2nd‑round replacement for Taylor Decker.

Caleb Tiernan, 23, is a 6‑10, 310‑lb offensive tackle from Northwestern with a perfect 13‑game start in 2025 and no reported injuries. His only drawback is his slightly older age, but he remains a clean prospect.

With Taylor Decker gone, Lions GM is looking for a long‑term OT. Tiernan’s projected 2nd‑round pick status makes him a viable option to fill the void.
