Lions new GM Bob Quinn has been busy the last couple weeks re-shaping his staff and his coaching staff. Thursday, he began to work on the player roster with the signing of receiver Austin Willis to a reserve-future deal.
Willis (5-9, 175) played his college ball at Emporia State where he recorded 56 receptions for 757 yards (13.5 average) and six touchdowns in 2014. He caught 45 passes for 911 yards and 10 touchdowns as a junior.
The receiver garnered quite a bit of attention at his Pro Day when he recorded a 4.3-second 40-yard dash and a 40-inch vertical leap.
