There’s a new member of the Detroit Lions offense as OTAs wrap up in Allen Park this week. The Lions signed veteran tight end Devin Funchess on Tuesday.
Yes, tight end. The Lions themselves made the distinction in their media release announcing they’ve signed Funchess.
Michigan Wolverine fans probably recall Funchess as a wide receiver, the position he played in Ann Arbor from 2012-2014. He was also a wideout in his prior NFL stops with the Carolina Panthers and Green Bay Packers, but that designation probably deserves an asterisk.
