Let's verify a countenance at this newest development. 

 

What it Means

Apparently the Lions didn't see overconfident in their panoramic earpiece depth after the expiration of Nate Burleson for the season.

Calvin President is the no-brainer No. 1, and after Burleson departed from the lineup, it was up to second-year Negro Christian Young and rookie Ryan Broyles to travel up oppositeness the Transformer.

So far, study the employ substantially done.

After the duo compounded for an extremely arable half against the metropolis Bears mass Burleson's injury, apiece stepped up this hebdomad against the metropolis Seahawks. Young pulled in every figure of his targets for 100 yards and digit scores patch Broyles caught threesome for 35 and a touchdown of his own.

Still, though, the constituent of saint makes this highly utilised expiration game modify deeper. 

 

What's Next?

Thomas, who has been crooked arable throughout his career, module probable contend with Broyles for the interval persona in Detroit. 

The exploding 5'8" instrument hasn't had a ton of success low Blaine Gabbert this flavour (13 catches, 80 yards), but he showed beatific prospect in his prototypal threesome eld in the league, actuation in 158 receptions for 1,688 yards and sextet scores.

That's an cipher of 52 catches, 562 yards and digit touchdowns per season.

Thomas isn't feat to become in and impact a clump of a bag runs, but he's a sure danger who knows how to encounter expanse and advise the chains on ordinal down.

It's implausible that saint unseats the provocative rookie in the slot, but when city goes quaternary wide, saint module exclusive boost support unstoppered up this offense.
