Detroit Lions Interested in Super Bowl Wide Receiver
The Detroit Lions hosted veteran wide receiver Scotty Miller as they continue evaluating depth options after the 2026 NFL Draft.
The Detroit Lions aren’t done tweaking the receiver room just yet. According to multiple reports, Detroit hosted veteran wideout Scotty Mille r for a visit this week at the team’s Allen Park facility. A familiar name with big-game experience If Miller sounds familiar, it’s because he’s been part of some big moments.
Originally a sixth-round pick out of Bowling Green in 2019, Miller spent four seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and was part of their Super Bowl-winning roster. His most productive season came in 2020 , when he posted: 33 receptions 501 receiving yards 3 touchdowns Since then, Miller has bounced around a bit, spending time with the Falcons and most recently the Steelers. Still, his speed and experience have kept him on NFL radars.
Why the Lions are kicking the tires At first glance, wide receiver might not feel like a pressing need. Detroit already has a solid group headlined by Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams , along with developing options like Isaac TeSlaa .
But this is about depth, and competition. Miller brings: Vertical speed Experience in multiple systems Special teams value That’s exactly the type of profile Detroit has targeted at the back end of the roster. Nothing guaranteed, but worth watching Let’s be clear, this is a visit, not a signing.
