In 99 career games, Kearse has 255 catches for 3,290 yards and 17 touchdowns.

His best season came in 2017 when he had 65 catches for 810 yards and 5 tds.

It is also important to note that Kearse, who is 29, spent five seasons (2012-2016) in Seattle with new Lions’ OC Darrell Bevell, so he will be familiar with the offense.
