3 UFL Players the Detroit Lions Should Consider Signing

The Detroit Lions may not be done adding talent to the roster just yet. While most NFL teams have shifted focus toward rookie minicamps and offseason workouts, the UFL continues to serve as a proving ground for players looking to earn another shot in the league. And according to Mike Payton of A to Z Sports , there are a few intriguing names Detroit should keep an eye on.

With the Lions still searching for added depth along the defensive front, these three UFL standouts could make a lot of sense. EDGE Cam Gill Cam Gill is already a familiar name to Lions fans. The former Detroit edge rusher is currently leading the UFL in sacks and appears well on his way toward earning another NFL opportunity once the spring season wraps up.

Gill brings versatility, energy, and special teams value, which are all traits Dan Campbell and Brad Holmes prioritize when building the back end of the roster. Payton recently pointed out that Gill could provide quality depth at edge while also contributing immediately on special teams units. That versatility matters, especially for players fighting for final roster spots.

Detroit’s edge room has improved this offseason, but adding another productive rotational option would not hurt. EDGE Keshawn Banks If the Lions are looking for upside, Keshawn Banks may be one of the most intriguing developmental options available. According to Payton, Banks currently leads the UFL with 31 pressures while also adding five sacks this season.
