The Detroit Lions are bringing back another player from Brad Holmes’ first draft class as general manager.

Defensive tackle Levi Onwuzurike has reportedly agreed to a one-year, $5.5 million contract to stay in Detroit for the 2025 season.

Onwuzurike joins Penei Sewell, Alim McNeill, Derrick Barnes, and Amon-Ra St. Brown as members of the 2021 draft class to sign a second contract with the team.

Onwuzurike showed significant improvement in his final season with the Lions after injuries hampered him through most of his first three years.

A second-round pick out of Washington in 2021, Onwuzurike played 16 games as a rookie but missed his entire second season due to a back injury.

Returning in 2023, Onwuzurike played in 10 games in a rotational role. His best season came in 2024, when he started 10 of 16 games and recorded 28 tackles, 1.5 sacks, and a forced fumble.

The Lions’ defensive line depth remains a question mark heading into 2025, particularly with Alim McNeill’s availability uncertain following the torn ACL he suffered in Week 15 against the Buffalo Bills.

McNeill, a third-round pick in 2021, secured a four-year, $97 million contract extension for his strong play.

Meanwhile, the Lions have DJ Reader under contract for another season and re-signed restricted free agent Myles Adams on a one-year deal. The team also signed nose tackle Roy Lopez to a one-year contract on Tuesday.
