We can add another 30 visit to the list for the Detroit Lions ahead of the 2024 NFL draft later this month, with the team reportedly set to host Kentucky cornerback, Andru Phillips.
The news comes from The Draft Network's Ryan Fowler, who also notes that Phillips will meet with the Chicago Bears, New York Giants, Arizona Cardinals, Philadelphia Eagles, San Francisco 49ers and Pittsburgh Steelers.
Phillips, who stands at 5-foot-11 and weighs 190 pounds, is slated to be a Day 3 pick and offers inside/outside versatility, per a scouting report from The Draft Network's Damian Parson. He also praises Phillips' toughness, explosiveness and ability as a run defender.
At the very least, the Lions could use more depth and competition at cornerback, with Amik Robertson and Emmanuel Moseley the top-two candidates to start opposite Carlton Davis.
Robertson has just 21 starts in 52 career games and Moseley is working his way back from a second ACL tear in two years and there's no telling what the Lions can expect from him.

Extremely popular name within league circles that’s enjoyed an excellent pre-draft process.

• Giants
• Cardinals
• Eagles
• Lions
• 49ers
• Steelers
Adding to all that, Detroit could use more depth in the slot. Brian Branch is expected to play there in 2024 but having another option behind him is important just in case he has to play safety for any reason.
