Ziggy Ansah was named to his first Pro bowl. The first Lions Defensive End since Robert Porcher in 2001. Zig has a monster year and was a no brainer pick even on a bad team.
Here is a tribute:

Congrats Zig
Just for fun here is my scouting report on Zig January 28, 2013. After the senior bowl
Draft Prospect Ziggy Ansah Detroit Lions breakdown
Took some time to breakdown prospect BY DE Ziggy Ansah. Ansah is a half year starter with limited experience. However, his play at the senior bowl and the films I watched, I rate him as a rare prospect.

| Ansah at the Senior Bowl South MVP |
I saw two practices for the South and he did not impress me. He was handled in the one on ones and did little in the team drills.
In the game he was the best player on the field. He had great pursuit and ability to make impact plays.
The two films I watched were Boise and Utah. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-JxQlaxBHU
He was great in both films. He lined up all over the place, 1 3 5 and 9 technique. The things that stood out include violent arms. He knocked back blockers with hands everytime. This made him able to control blockers and make tackles. He had a knack to block passes at the line. His pursuit was excellent. He made plays against the run and the pass.
I went back and broke down the Notre Dame film. I saw much of the same I saw in his other games. Explosive upper body, the ability to separate from lineman and make tackles. He played mostly inside in this game and was easily the best player on BYU.
Martin Mayhew has a big choice to make at # 5. He had a whole week with Ansah at the Senior Bowl. Ansah is a tough projection because of his limited experience but his ability is rare. I think he needs to be in the conversation at # 5.
