Like he did last year, I would love the Lions to sign him. He is small, but versitle. Fast, great in open space, decent hands that are developing since the Jets made him a WR.

I don't want the Lions to trade for him or anything, but he is another Aaron Brown type, but probably faster, that could do a lot of little things for us.

I don't know what I expect for responses, but just thought I would throw it out there.

I don't see why not

If he can help our team and add depth and a low cost. I see no reason why not to pick him up. I am kind of suprised he wasn’t last time he was put on practice squad.

How do you keep a running back out of your secondary? You put up a LEVY.

Weve got a lot of Rbs already....

….and im sure we will sign and draft one as well….I like DeDe better then this guy…..I think the only reason I do like this guy is becasue hes a small school guy.

He is really a hybrid

I mean, he played RB all the way through college and was just moved to WR this year, and he is a hell of a lot faster than Dorsey

The way I understand it...

In order to sign him OFF the Jets PS. I believe we would have to offer him a spot on the 53 man roster.

I just don’t see the Lions givin him a spot on the 53 man squad without going through any practice or OTA with the team. If they wanted him that bad Mayhew would just go get him.

the only way I see it happening is if we really need wr/rb depth in the first 6 weeks due to injury (please god I hope not).

I'm in full draft mode now

I’m not looking out for anymore FA’s or vets.

The Bringers of Hope: Stafford - Delmas - C. Johnson - Pettigrew - Levy - Hill - Schwartz
Zack Follett: he will hurt your mind.

From what you said and if he is signable with no picks included I say sign him up. I dont like that ALL of our WRs, save CJ, are very old, I believe they all have around 8yrs or more save the WR we took in like the 5th or 6th round yesterday. A fresh young WR with good hands would be a nice change of pace.
