Not thrilled. I hope the Lions plan for the future and draft a WR still. Let Lewis, Powell and a rookie battle it out for the 4 and 5 WR spots.

22 yard per return... we could use that on KR duties. Agnew has been a beast for us, but we got nothing going on kick returns, so why not?

He can give depth at WR, but I think he's primarily being brought in for ST.

Is 22 good. Kneel down goes to 25

Better known as the guy who got blown up against the Rams in possibly the worst no call in NFL history

Teammate of Kenny Golladay in college.

IF it goes to the end zone. When it doesn't you can't just take a knee, and yes, 22 is good.

22 is 19th in league

Lions averaged over 24 average. 22 not good

Agnew 27. Abdullah 26

Lewis returned 3 kickoffs and 8 punts last season. He averaged 23 per kickoff and 7.5 per punt return. He is a training camp body from a good NFC team. See what he knows and if he can help. I'm sure we will draft a guy that can compete or back up the returners. This is a nothing signing.
