Lions sign Appalachian State WR Corey Sutton
Sutton (6'2/200) started his career at Kansas State, but a somewhat contentious transfer saga ended with him at Appalachian State. In three seasons with the Mountaineers (redshirted in 2017 and opted out in 2020), Sutton hauled in 146 passes for 2,278 yards and 24 touchdowns in 35 games. On the negative side, an injury prevented him from testing at his Pro Day, and he will turn 25 during his rookie season. He has a good frame, was productive, and appears to have decent build-up speed, but his age and lack of true elite traits make him a long shot.
