During the Cleveland Browns preseason finale on Thursday night, undrafted rookie quarterback David Blough thought he was playing for his job. Blough was. It just wasn’t with Browns, but with the opposing team instead, the Detroit Lions.
On Friday, the Lions swapped seventh-round selections in 2022 with the Browns in exchange for the former Purdue Boilermaker quarterback. That’s according to ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
Blough must have impressed the Lions Thursday night, although his stat-line read 11 of 17 for 115 yards, no touchdowns, and two interceptions. But the 24-year old did post a couple solid performances in his previous preseason outings.
