NFL Draft 2016: Could Aaron Burbridge be a Detroit Lion?

Michigan State‘s stud wide receiver, Aaron Burbridge, might be staying closer to home after the 2016 NFL Draft concludes at the beginning of May. The Farmington Hills, Mich., native had a productive meeting with the Lions recently and that could be a strong possibility.

The senior receiver broke out in 2015, winning the Big Ten Receiver of the Year award while catching 85 passes for 1,258 yards and seven touchdowns. He became quite possibly the biggest breakout receiver since Devin Thomas — heck, even Tony Lippett.
