Detroit Lions hosting free agent hometown cornerback for visit

The Detroit Lions continue to work the free agent market and are bringing in another cornerback for a visit, as they look to build their defense. According to NFL insider Aaron Wilson, the Lions are hosting former Houston Texans corner Tavierre Thomas on Friday.

Thomas is a Detroit native who played his college football at Ferris State where he was a Division II All-American. He went undrafted in 2018 and initially joined the Arizona Cardinals but eventually made his way to the Cleveland Browns during his rookie season. After three seasons in Cleveland, Thomas moved on to Houston, where he has spent the last three seasons.
