Phoenix — When Logan Thomas decided to stop playing quarterback and try his hand at becoming a tight end, the Detroit Lions were the first in line to give him an opportunity, signing him to the team's practice squad in November 2016.
The pairing lasted all of a day, before he was poached by the Buffalo Bills, who were equally intrigued by his potential. Three years later, the Lions and a more experienced Thomas will give it another go. The team signed him to a one-year deal earlier this month.
"I remember having him in my office trying to convince him to stay on our practice squad," Lions general manager Bob Quinn said.
