2020 NFL Draft: Detroit Lions select WR Quintez Cephus in the fifth round

The Detroit Lions have selected Wisconsin wide receiver Quintez Cephus in the fifth round of the 2020 NFL Draft.

The Lions don’t currently have a receiver on the roster signed beyond the 2020 season, but with Marvin Jones Jr., Kenny Golladay and Danny Amendola on board for this year, Cephus isn’t likely to contribute much his rookie season.

But new Detroit Lions cornerback Jeff Okudah was a big fan of Cephus in college:

Cephus is a jump-ball specialist, even at just 6-foot-1. Athletically, speaking, however, he’s just an average prospect.
