The Detroit Lions are spending a good percentage of their allotment of 30 pre-draft visits with prospects on defensive linemen. The latest to make the official trip to team headquarters in Allen Park is Eastern Michigan pass rusher Jose Ramirez.
Ramirez confirmed the in-person visit with the Lions with Justin Melo of The Draft Network.
Much like last year’s sixth-rounder James Houston, Ramirez is an undersized pass-rush specialist of the stand-up OLB variety. In fact, the two are very similarly sized; Ramirez is an inch taller at 6-foot-2 and a pound heavier at 242. He bagged 12 sacks in his senior season, including four in the Eagles’ rivalry game win over Western Michigan.
Ramirez is generally projected in the sixth or seventh round of the 2023 NFL draft.
