There weren’t many football fans that knew who Kerry Hyder was at the start of the football season but most fans know who he is now. Hyder has come out of nowhere to become a dominant force in the middle of the Lions’ defense. Hyder has tallied four sacks in just three games and is proving that he is no fluke.

Hyder has been lining up at multiple spots on the defensive line but mostly lines up at both defensive end positions. The Bears haven’t done well with good defensive ends but that’s what makes NostraButkus’ prediction so impressive. Hyder should have his way with Bobby Massie, but Massie will have surprisingly his best start of the season and Charles Leno will do a solid job on Hyder when it’s his man.

Hyder may get in the backfield on a couple occasions but his sack tally will be at zero when the game concludes.
