Lions Trim Roster To 53

August 31st, 2019 at 6:03pm CST by Andrew Ortenberg

The Lions are the latest team to officially trim their roster all the way down to 53. After stockpiling quarterbacks, they’ve now cut two of them. Former AAF passer Luis Perez and Tom Savage were both let go. That means that legendary journeyman Josh Johnson has made the team as Matthew Stafford‘s backup, and recently acquired rookie David Blough has made the squad as the third-stringer. Detroit also waived Isaac Nauta, a rookiie tight end out of Georgia who they drafted in the seventh-round.

CB Johnathan Alston

DT John Atkins

LB Malik Carney

TE Jerome Cunningham

T Andrew Donnal

LB Garret Dooley

WR Jonathan Duhart

DT P.J. Johnson

DT Fredrick Jones

WR Tom Kennedy

C Leo Koloamatangi

Lions Bring In 16 UDFAs

May 11th, 2018 at 2:55pm CST by Sam Robinson

One of the last UDFA contingents to be unveiled, the Lions have announced their 16-man group. Here’s the full rundown:

Al-Rasheed Benton, LB (West Virginia)
Amari Coleman, CB (Central Michigan)
Antwuan Davis, CB (Texas)
Josh Fatu, DT (USC)
Mike Ford, CB (Southeast Missouri)
DeAndre Goolsby, TE (Florida)
Chris Jones, CB (Nebraska)
Kyle Lewis, WR (Cal Poly)
Chad Meredith, LB (Southeast Missouri)
John Montelus, OL (Virginia)
Beau Nunn, OL (Appalachian State)
Brandon Powell, WR (Florida)
Teo Redding, WR (Bowling Green)
Ryan Santoso, P (Minnesota)
Anthony Sherrils, S (Missouri)
JoJo Wicker, DL (Arizona State)

This class interestingly houses two members of Southeast Missouri’s most recent defense. Ford led the Redhawks with 14 passes defensed last season and finished with 28 bench press reps at his pro day. Meredith was a first-team all-conference performer as a junior in 2016. Having started 41 career games at Appalachian State, Nunn finished last season with the fewest pressures allowed among full-time Division I-FBS players.

Detroit will bring in four cornerbacks after not using one of its six draft choices at this spot. The Lions did add former Seahawks corner DeShawn Shead in free agency and have 2017 second- and fifth-round picks Teez Tabor and Jamal Agnew on their roster.
