The names have been floating around for the last couple of days, but the Lions formally announced their list of 12 undrafted free agent signings on Friday.
Among the names on the list is Ohio State offensive lineman Chase Farris, who got $20,000 in guaranteed money to sign with the team. Farris is listed as a guard by the Lions after playing tackle in Columbus and former NFL center LeCharles Bentley told MLive.com that he thinks the Lions may have gotten “one of the Jason Peters-like surprises of this draft class” with the signing.
The Lions also signed tight end Cole Wick from the University of The Incarnate Word. He joins Eagles signee Myke Tavarres as the first two players to make it to the NFL from the school, which started its football program in 2009.
The rest of the group is made up of Louisiana Tech cornerback Adairius Barnes, Baylor wide receiver Jay Lee, Southern Illinois tight end Adam Fuehne, Maryland guard Andrew Zeller, Fresno State cornerback Charles Washington, North Carolina wide receiver Quinshad Davis, Northwestern defensive end Deonte Gibson, Georgia defensive end James DeLoach, Eastern Oregon wide receiver Jace Billingsly and Ohio University cornerback Ian Wells.
