The Detroit Lions are bringing in free-agent wide receiver/returner Brad Smith for a visit on Tuesday. Should they sign him?
In the lead-up to the 2015 NFL Draft, the Detroit Lions brought in several return specialists for visits. Most of those return specialists also played wide receiver, and the thinking was that the Lions could improve their depth at that position while also upgrading their return game.
As it turns out, the Lions did not draft any of those return specialists. They did take running back Ameer Abdullah in the second round, and he has the ability to be a returner, but he was selected for his skills on offense more than anything.
