TWENTYMAN: Lions sign Taylor Mays

The Lions have filled one of their two open roster spots with the signing of safety Taylor Mays.

A former second-round pick of the San Francisco 49ers in 2010, Mays was the fastest safety at the 2010 Combine, running the 40-yard dash in 4.43 seconds.

He was traded to Cincinnati before the 2011 season and has spent the last four seasons with the Bengals, making four starts along the way.
