One player to keep an eye on is WR/RB Taquan Mizzell who, according to reports, worked out for the Lions earlier in the week. Mizzell, who turned 27 today, spent time with the Chicago Bears from 2017-18, where he played in 12 games. During those games, Mizzell had just nine carries for 16 yards while also catching eight passes for 78 yards and a touchdown.

Here are Mizzell’s highlights from his final season at the University of Virginia.
