The Detroit Lions have had a successful offseason at restocking the depth across the roster and making sure they have a team that can contend in 2019. Plenty of roster spots are likely locked down, but others will be up for grabs. Interestingly enough, several bubble players could step up and grab these opportunities and run with them.

So which players could surprise and step up for a roster role? Here's a look at some names to remember for later on this summer.

Malik Carney, DE

Carney had 17 sacks, 32.5 tackles for losses and nine forced fumbles during his final three seasons. His senior season was his best, with a career-high 60 tackles including six sacks and 12 for losses. He led the ACC with five forced fumbles. Those numbers paint the picture of an edge guy who can get after it. Carney should add some depth to the front line for the Lions, and with the talent he has shown, it's possible Carney can slot into the mix to give the team a little bit of pass rush punch. A rush is needed in Detroit, and he could help provide it. Watch Carney closely during camp.

Beau Benzschawel, OG

Benzschawel is a big get for the Lions considering he stunningly went undrafted when many considered him at least a third round prospect. At Wisconsin, Benzschawel was an All American and first team All-Big Ten. He was just the third Wisconsin lineman to become a back-to-back All American, joining Dennis Lick and Joe Thomas. Those are the kind of stats the Lions can rely on to perhaps help them solve the need vacated by T.J. Lang. Thanks to the numbers situation, he's got a great shot to crack the roster and be a part of the mix up front in Detroit. In the future, he might even become a player who can crack the starting rotation eventually.

Logan Thomas, TE

The Lions have renovated the tight end spot in a major way with two bold offseason moves as well as another draft pick, so it's hard to remember that Thomas is on the roster. Even still, the converted quarterback has the athletic goods to play the position, and may have already won his first roster showdown against Michael Roberts. Thomas is a sneaky bet to claim some type of a role, but he's a physical guy who can move people, which is what the Lions want up front. If his catching comes along, Thomas could be a part of a four man rotation at the spot for the Lions along with two rookies.

Chris Lacy, WR

Lacy was originally signed by New England to a rookie free agent contract shortly after the 2018 NFL Draft and picked up by the Lions after being released after the Patriots' rookie mini camp back towards the end of last May a year ago.

The tall wideout played in the Lions' final three preseason games and recorded three receptions for 17 yards and touchdown, but was a part of the roster cut down to 75 for the Lions. Lacy was signed this offseason by the Lions, and was a guy who played for the Cowboys in college. He is a sizable option and caught a touchdown in the preseason finale, but the Lions had plenty of depth at wide receiver, and competition there was intense for a spot there. Though he didn't crack the roster, he hung around the practice squad and was added to the team late in the year. So far this offseason, he has made an impact and gotten the attention of plenty of folks with some big catches. For a team in need of some wideout depth, he's one to remember.

Tre Lamar, LB

Lamar was not picked up in the NFL Draft, but had a very productive 146 tackle, eight sack career with the Tigers, which included three passes defended and one forced fumble. The Tigers' product has done a great job and been a steady contributor through the years for his defense and could be a great option for the Lions as it relates to playing overall defense. Lamar could be a player that could come in and be groomed for a large role for the Lions later on down the road, and will certainly be in the mix thanks to the role he played at Clemson. That could give him an edge. The Lions don't have a ton of linebacker depth, so Lamar could win a role quickly on special teams, hang around and then see more snaps. That's what the team would like anyway.
