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

Tim Fuller-USA TODAY Sports Most rookie quarterbacks are expected to backup for a season or two. Most undrafted quarterbacks never achieve an NFL start. For the Detroit Lions’ David 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. Losing, if anything, helped the Lions secure Jeff Okudah in the draft.

Thanks, David.
