The Detroit Lions signed 15 undrafted free agents after the 2024 NFL Draft. Of those guys, there was one player whose availability at that point was the most shocking and that's Illinois receiver Isaiah Williams.
Another Brad Holmes-led draft has come and gone, and once again the reviews are positive. The fourth-year Lions general manager closed out the 2024 draft with six players, and bolstered the defending NFC North champion's roster in multiple ways.
Former Illinois receiver Isaiah Williams was obviously disappointed about not hearing his name called this weekend during the NFL Draft. Despite being the Big Ten's second-most productive receiver behind Marvin Harrison Jr., Williams was left chasing the undrafted free agent route.
Illinois receiver Isaiah Williams did not get chosen during this weekend's NFL Draft, but he has found a new home. According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, Williams is signing a free agent contract with the Detroit Lions.
