The Detroit Lions aren’t done adding to their cornerback room. After signing both Rock Ya-Sin and Khalil Dorsey on Thursday, the Lions have reportedly signed veteran cornerback Avonte Maddox, as well.
Maddox was drafted in the fourth round of the 2018 NFL Draft and has spent all seven seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles. Over that time he has primarily spent his time competing for the Eagles’ starting nickel cornerback job, although he has some experience playing on the outside as well. If he stays at nickel, he’ll likely compete with veteran Amik Robertson and 2024 second-round pick Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
