Lions Ink Safety DeShon Elliott To One Year Contract

The Detroit Lions continue their offseason of signing players to low risk, high reward contracts (i.e. “prove it deals”) after the recent signing of free agent safety DeShon Elliott.

Elliott, the former sixth-round pick (190th overall) by the Baltimore Ravens during the 2018 NFL Draft, has amassed 109 tackles (76 solo) to go with 7 pass deflections, 2 forced fumbles, 3.5 sacks, and 1 interception in 28 games played through his first three professional seasons.

The former Texas Longhorn only played six games in both 2019 (knee) and 2021 (biceps and pectoral) due to season-ending injuries.
