Northcutt is expected to be Detroit's third wide receiver, the Detroit Free Press reports. Recommendation: Bryant Johnson has the Number 2 spot all but locked up opposite the dynamic Calvin Johnson. There wouldn't seem to be a whole lot of upside to being the Lions' third option in the passing game considering last year's debacle and continued uncertainty under center. |

WR Dennis Northcutt, 31, is a 5-11, 172-pounder is expected to play in the slot and return punts. But he said he would learn every receiver position in case he is needed.
He caught 44 passes each of the past two seasons for the Jaguars, averaging 573 yards and three touchdowns, after seven seasons with Cleveland. He has returned punts throughout his career.
"I think that's one of the biggest reasons they brought me in was to get me in the slot," Northcutt said. "Obviously that's my biggest strength. That's been my biggest strength though my nine years of playing in the NFL is working the slot. That's where I've made my money basically.
"But I have been able to play outside. Whatever they ask me to do, that's what I'm going to do. Anything to help the team win, that's what I'm all about." |
