Lions Swap Out Wide Receivers

The Lions have signed wide receiver Adam Jennings, and set free wide receiver Yamon Figurs. Figurs had been getting reps at returner alongside Aaron Brown. Jennings is also superior at kick coverage than Figurs, who has been criticized for being too brittle. Jennings was the Lions’ best returner last season, but he was released by the Lions this offseason.

Figurs was a high draft pick by the Baltimore Ravens, but he never managed to show his worth. Jennings was drafted by the Falcons in the late rounds of the 2006 draft, he also never made a huge impact with the team. Can he make the best out of this new opportunity? This may be the blessing that the Lions are hoping for. After their victory against the Redskins, are we to expect more from them or was it just a road block to their improbable run to destroy history’s longest losing streak?
