The 2024 NFL draft ended with the Jets selecting Mr. Irrelevant, but the player selection process did not end there. Like the other 31 NFL teams, the Detroit Lions got busy in signing undrafted free agents to the roster.
The team has found some useful UDFAs over the recent years. Two UDFAs from last year’s class, CB Steven Gilmore and LB Trevor Nowaske, made the Lions roster during the season. Nowaske and CB Starling Thomas, another 2023 UDFA, entered draft weekend as projected starters for the Arizona Cardinals at their respective positions.
There will be some players here who are rookie minicamp invitees and not signed to anything beyond that. A couple of the UDFAs have already received signing bonuses that do give them a leg up on sticking around into training camp and perhaps beyond.
