Monday open thread: Will an undrafted rookie make the Lions’ roster?

Undrafted free agents have a difficult road to success in the NFL, but the Lions have a handful of players looking for a Cinderella story.

Without preseason, it can be difficult for them to impress. The Detroit Lions roster has been whittled down in recent weeks, with just five undrafted rookies remaining. Are the final five worthy of a roster spot once cut down day arrives?

Tight end Hunter Bryant is perhaps the most well-known undrafted free agent on the team, having gotten a decent amount of pre- and post-draft hype. He has been injured, but after a disappointing year from the Lions tight end group in 2019, a receiving threat like Bryant might have done enough to shine through.
