On Monday, the Detroit Lions announced they had signed three players from rookie minicamp tryouts: tight end Luke Deal, wide receiver Malik Taylor, and defensive lineman Raequan Williams. Tuesday, they announced they’ve added one more.
Undrafted rookie defensive lineman Keith Cooper Jr. has signed with the Lions and is now part of the 53-man roster.
Cooper was initially reported as a UDFA signing, but it actually turned out to be just a tryout invitation. During the one practice we saw, Cooper did stand out for his physicality.
Cooper hails from the University of Houston (2024) and Tulane University (2021-23).
