sportsApr 25, 202622175

The Detroit Lions selected Michigan linebacker Jimmy Rolder with the No. 118 pick in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Rolder posted a 9.51 Relative Athletic Score, placing him above 95.1 percent of 3,364 linebackers tested since 1987, and Detroit used its first Day 3 pick to add him as competition to the linebacker room. His combination of elite testing and a reputation as a physical, inside run defender projects him as a rotational WILL or depth option WHO could push for snaps in Detroit's front seven.
