Allen Park — The Detroit Lions have a new developmental quarterback on the roster, announcing the signing of Luis Perez on Tuesday.
Undrafted out of Texas A&M-Commerce a year ago, Perez served as the starting quarterback for the Birmingham Iron of the defunct AAF. The 6-foot-3, 223-pounder completed 52.3 percent of his passes for 1,460 yards, five touchdowns and six interceptions for the Iron.
In college, Perez led his team to the Division II national championship in 2017, earning the Harlon Hill trophy as the most valuable player in the division in the process.
