>Brad Holmes and the Detroit Lions have been lauded over and over again for their scouting efforts in the NFL Draft and for some of the free agent signings. But we don't talk a lot about how the Lions have been one of the few teams in the NFL that have really gone in on scouting and signing players from the UFL.
>Since Holmes and company showed up, the Lions have signed 13 different players from the UFL. Three of those players have been signed this summer. Former St. Louis Battlehawks cornerback Nick Whiteside, Michigan Panthers cornerback D.J. Miller, and Battlehawks running back Jacob Saylors.
