Detroit Lions rookie report: UDFA makes his case for 53-man roster vs. Chiefs

As the NFL preseason moves forward, more and more rookies and players with little experience get their chance to prove they can stick in the league. In this matchup between the Detroit Lions and Kansas City Chiefs, there was a lot to unpack from the performance of the Motor City’s freshmen class.

Wide receiver Isaiah Williams may have propelled himself onto the 53-man roster with his showing against the Chiefs. The undrafted rookie remained in for the entire game and was a contributor on both offense and special teams. Aside from one blunder in the first half, Williams looked like an all-around utility player for Detroit.
