While the Detroit Lions as a whole haven’t done much to make fans optimistic two weeks into NFL preseason, there still have been a few individual players that have stuck out. One of the biggest standouts so far has been undrafted rookie wide receiver Brandon Powell out of the University of Florida.
The receiver doesn’t have the look of your typical NFL wideout. He measures in at only 5-foot-8 and is just under 200 pounds. The former Gator isn’t the physically imposing specimen that you usually see on an NFL field, which makes his surprise contributions these past few weeks stand out even more.
