We look at how the Detroit Lions may utilize their fifth-round pick, Quintez Cephus.

With the 166th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the asset general manager Bob Quinn wrestled away from the Philadelphia Eagles for cornerback Darius Slay, the Detroit Lions selected wide receiver out of Wisconsin, Quintez Cephus.

Cephus is a possession-type receiver with decent size at 6-foot-1, 202lbs, but lacks high-end NFL speed whether you look at his combine (4.73) or his pro-day 40 (4.56) 40-time … you can bet the truth probably lies somewhere in the middle.
