He’s got 4.4 speed with a 42″ vertical, with massive NCAA production……is there any doubt as to why he’s here for a tryout?

This guy can get open in a short route which is exactly what the Lions need to go 4 WRs.

Ideally Ryan Broyles will be the 4th WR but this guy might be an answer while Broyles gets healthy.

Good sign!

As a Texans fan, I was wondering if there was a #2 wide receiver who put up stats worst than Kevin Walter and I have found the answer to my question. I should have known he played for Jacksonville.
Now he is at best a #4 for the Lions, my issue is that the Texans still think Kevin Walter is a #2 after catching 39 passes for 474 yards with 3 touchdowns in 16 regular season games with 3 catches for 36 yards with 0 touchdowns in 2 playoff games. C’mon Texans, time to sign Terrell Owens.

this tells me 3 things:

1) ryan broyles is not healthy
2) patrick edwards does not have a pro body
3) jared karstetter is caucasian

To call Dillard a #2 WR is stretching the truth quite a bit.

This is a bottom-of-the-roster, throw-stuff-on-the-wall-and-see-if-it-sticks signing.

“izlez” is spot on. Two, maybe three of the Lions WR cuts will be on season opening rosters of other NFL teams. The Lions WR depth will rival that of the Packers, Saints and Pats. Tough camp decisions on the horizon…a great problem to have.

This guy has string bean legs. He’ll need about 3-4 more sucker punches to occur to see the field.

When CJ goes down to injury (thanks Madden), the Lions WR corps is going to look disgusting.

Dillard set NCAA records when he went to Rice.

I’m wondering if the Lions may have plans for him as a kick return specialist?

It’s not “bad news” for the lions and the lions are not “trying to improve their depth”. They are incredibly talented and incredibly deep at the position and are already going to be forced to make some tough cuts at the position by either cutting promising rookies or key special teams players.

It’s a camp signing, nothing more. Very exciting.
