What the Lions are getting in their 13-player UDFA class

In addition to the seven players the Detroit Lions selected in the 2021 draft, they also confirmed they will be signing another 13 rookies as undrafted free agents. Let’s take a closer look at who they added and what these players bring to the roster.

Rakeem Boyd, RB, Arkansas

5-foot-11 1/2, 213 pounds

Boyd was a productive player in his 20 starts heading into 2020, averaging over 6.0 yards per carry over 307 touches. 2020 was a bit of a mess, though, due to injury and he eventually opted out after six games.
