Detroit Lions reach decision on former UGA football TE Isaac Nauta

On Saturday, the Detroit Lions decided to cut former Georgia tight end Isaac Nauta, a seventh round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft.

Nauta, who was once considered third or fourth round pick, struggled at the NFL Combine, causing him to slide in the draft into the final round.

Nauta supposedly got off to a slow start in spring camp with the Lions, and his struggles continued through the first week of fall training camp. However, after that rough first week, reports were surfacing that Nauta had hit his stride and was making numerous head-turning plays each day for the Lions.
