Can Devin Funchess get back on track with the Detroit Lions?

The Detroit Lions signed former Michigan standout Devin Funchess on Tuesday. Funchess has had an interesting career since the Carolina Panthers took him in the second round of the 2015 NFL Draft.

He came on strong in his rookie year and was part of a strong receiving corps with Ted Ginn Jr., Greg Olson, Jerricho Cotchery and Corey Brown that helped Cam Newton win the league's MVP award and helped the Panthers get to the Super Bowl.

Two years later, he became the Panthers’ No. 1 receiver, putting up 63 receptions for 840 yards and eight touchdowns.
