Detroit Lions har afsluttet en central del af deres fremtidige opbygning ved at skrive kontrakt med hele draftklassen for 2026. Klubben meddelte tirsdag, at samtlige draftede spillere nu er under kontrakt på fireårige rookieaftaler.
Blandt de nye ansigter er Blake Miller, førstevalget i første runde, som forventes at konkurrere om en startposition som højre tackle. Den nuværende højre tackle, Penei Sewell, har de seneste år spillet på denne position, men flytter nu til venstre tackle efter at Taylor Decker blev frigivet i marts.
I tillæg til Miller omfatter klassen også:
- Derrick Moore – Anden runde, edge rusher
- Jimmy Rolder – Fjerde runde, linebacker
- Keith Abney – Femte runde, cornerback
- Kendrick Law – Femte runde, wide receiver
- Skyler Gill-Howard – Sjette runde, defensive tackle
- Tyre West – Syvende runde, defensive lineman
Med disse signeringer styrker Lions deres trup med talent fra årets draft og lægger grunden for en konkurrencedygtig trup i de kommende sæsoner.
