As a top draft prospect, Breshad Perriman said he was "looking forward to filling (my dad's) shoes wherever" he played in the NFL.
Seven years later, Perriman's journey has taken him to his father's old team.
The Detroit Lions agreed to a one-year contract with Perriman on Thursday that is worth up to $3 million, his agent Drew Rosenhaus said.
Perriman has played for four NFL teams in his six seasons, but had his best year in 2019, when he played for new Lions receivers coach Antwaan Randle El with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
