While the Detroit Lions kick off rookie minicamp this weekend, one former Lions receiver is trying out for another team.
Donovan Peoples-Jones will participate in New Orleans Saints rookie minicamp as one of 16 tryout players. The Saints receiver room currently consists of Chris Olave, Brandin Cooks, Cedrick Wilson Jr., and Rashid Shaheed among others.
Peoples-Jones, a former Michigan Wolverine, spent two seasons with the Detroit Lions. Initially, the Lions acquired Peoples-Jones near the trade deadline of the 2023 season, sending a 2025 sixth-round pick to the Cleveland Browns in exchange for the veteran wide receiver.
