The recent departure of Marvin Jones will not take long to be filled. ESPN reports that the Lions picked up Donovan Peoples-Jones from Cleveland for a 6th round pick in the 2025 draft.
While he had an important role in the Browns offense last year, he has been used very little since the start of the season. With only 8 receptions for 97 yards, he was only 5th in aerial productivity on Cleveland’s roster. His arrival in Detroit could therefore be a new start for the receiver. Brad Holmes, general manager of the Lions, was delighted with this arrival at a press conference.
“We’re excited about this kid. He has had good production in the past. He will adapt very well here. He is a young man with a lot of character. »
Best of all, Donovan Peoples-Jones was born and raised in Detroit. He also attended the University of Michigan.
“Obviously he’s from Detroit, he’s a local kid. So I think he will be very, very happy. I just spoke to him, he’s excited to get this process started. All these moves that we make are always the best thing for the franchise, the best thing for the team. Each of our movements. So that’s the best way I can summarize the reason. »
A vengeful player, who returns home and fills an immediate need. Donovan Peoples-Jones looks like a good pick for the Lions.
