Detroit Lions defensive end Ahmed Hassanein is drawing attention at the 2026 training camp.
After switching positions he has caught the eye of coaches and the Detroit News.
He is part of a group of young defenders battling for roster spots.
On Aug 13, 2026, Hassanein recorded the Lions' first preseason sack by bringing down Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow in Cincinnati.
The play won him a spot in NFL.com and regional coverage.
Observers at the camp say his effort could earn him a place on the regular-season roster.
