The Detroit Lions announced the signing of former Green Bay Packers wide receiver Devin Funchess on Tuesday. The interesting part of the signing? The Lions are converting Funchess to tight end.
While with the Packers, Funchess was listed at 6-4 and 225 pounds. A move to tight end might be the final chance to revive his NFL career.
Funchess, a native of Detroit who played college football at Michigan, never actually played in a regular-season game for the Packers. He signed in April of 2020 but then opted out of the season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
