Den amerikanske fodboldklub Detroit Lions har fundet en ny quarterback til deres trup. Ifølge flere kilder har Lions skrevet kontrakt med den ubudte spiller Luke Altmyer, som tidligere stod i spidsen for Illinois Fighting Illini i tre sæsoner.
Altmyer begyndte sin college-karriere på Ole Miss, inden han skiftede til Illinois. Her udviklede han sig til en af ligaens mest præcise quarterbacks og sluttede sin tid på universitetet som den spiller med flest fuldførte afleveringer i skolens historie. I sin sidste sæson (2025) præsterede han med en afleveringsprocent på 67,4, 3.007 yards, 22 touchdowns og blot fem interceptions.
Med Altmyers tilgang styrker Lions yderligere deres quarterback-rotation. Jared Goff fortsætter som starter, mens Teddy Bridgewater er hentet ind som backup via free agency. Kontrakten med Altmyer giver Lions en yngre reserve med potentiale til at konkurrere om spilletid i fremtiden.
