The latest development: the Lions worked out wide receiver James Proche, a former sixth-round pick by the Baltimore Ravens in 2020. Proche is known for elite ball skills and competitive, contest-winning downfield play, though his slot quickness and route savvy may require tuning to fit a preferred role. A SMU standout, Proche earned multiple All-Conference honors in college and has demonstrated strong production, including leading SMU with 93 receptions for 1,199 yards and 12 touchdowns in his redshirt junior year.
Key takeaways:
– Lions are adding potential weapons to support Jared Goff after missing the 2025 postseason.
– James Proche brings elite ball skills and downfield playmaking, with questions about fit and route refinement.
– Proche’s college production and accolades highlight his potential as a WR3/WR5 rotational option.
