Allen Park — Following a two-week audition, the Detroit Lions have officially added Michael Badgley to the main roster, signing the veteran kicker off the team's practice squad.
"He knows exactly who he is," Lions special teams coordinator Dave Fipp said earlier this week. "He doesn’t try to be somebody different. He knows what his leg is. He hits the same ball over and over. He’s very consistent. And he’s comfortable with who he is and I think that gives him an advantage. So, he’s been great to be around. I really enjoy the guy."
A five-year veteran who played collegiately for the University of Miami, Badgley spent the first three years of his pro career with the Chargers.
