Monday open thread: Will David Blough make the team in 2020?

Most rookie quarterbacks are expected to backup for a season or two. Most undrafted quarterbacks never achieve an NFL start. For the Detroit LionsDavid Blough, starting five games in 2019 was certainly unexpected.

Filling in for Matthew Stafford is a tough task for any quarterback — just ask Jeff Driskel — but the undrafted rookie failed to lead the Lions to a single win. However, when the 3-8-1 Lions faced off against the Chicago Bears on Thanksgiving Day for Blough’s first career start, the season was already over.
