The Lions <\/a>may be looking for a safety within the first two rounds due to injuries to Kerby Joseph<\/a> and Brian Branch<\/a>. That’s where Jalon Kilgore may come in. He has some minor injuries, but appears to be a relatively low-risk prospect for a team that needs to add health to that room.<\/p>\n

Here is the excerpt of my medical report on Jalon Kilgore:<\/a><\/p>\n

Jalon Kilgore, S (21) – South Carolina<\/p>\n

Projected round 2-3.<\/p>\n

Concern level 2\/10<\/p>\n

While his availability has been excellent, Kilgore has a history of hamstring strains in 2025 and 2023. If his 2024 injury is found to be also a hamstring, then happenstance becomes a disturbing trend.<\/p>\n

With fast-twitch athletes, hamstrings are going to be very common, and generally don\u2019t present any long-term issues. The difficult trick will be to determine if a certain player is more prone to hamstrings.<\/p>\n

What helps Kilgore a lot is his young age.<\/p>\n
