Lions selected Arkansas DE Jeremiah Ledbetter with the No. 205 overall pick in the 2017 NFL draft.
Ledbetter (6’3/280) spent two years as a Razorback after transferring from JUCO, tallying 15 career tackles for loss and 7.5 sacks as a 25-game starter. He measured in with long arms (34 ¼") at the Combine and tested well, running 4.84 and pumping 29 bench-press reps. Ledbetter’s size limitation will work against his chances of becoming an every-down NFL defensive lineman, but he offers potential as a rotational presence.
