The Lions LB unit lost fan-favorite and speed-demon Alex Anzalone to free agency. A replacement might be selected in the NFL Draft. Anthony Hill is projected as an early-round prospect who had a recent fracture, but is medically very clean overall.
Here is the excerpt of my medical report on Anthony Hill:

Anthony Hill, LB (21) – Texas
Projected round 2. #47 on Jeff Risdon board Feb 19. Formal meeting at combine with Lions.
Concern level 0/10
The only concern with Hill’s fractured hand is that he’s had no game action since. There shouldn’t be any long-term issues with a straightforward metacarpal hand fracture though. Youth is a major positive on his side. Overall, Hill appears to be a very clean prospect.

He compiled a bountiful 31.5 TFL, 17 sacks, 3 INT, and 8 forced fumbles in college. His 40-yard dash at the combine was impressive at 4.51.
