Lions WR Bryant Johnson, who had 18 catches all of last season, might be wondering about his job security after the team drafted Young. Said GM Martin Mayhew: "Young will have an opportunity to step in and be our third (receiver). We haven't had great production from that spot the last couple of years and we think Titus is the kind of player who can solve that problem." Johnson still has one year ($3 million) left on his contract. "Any time we draft a player at somebody's position, it doesn't mean anything for that player," Mayhew said. "They should be doing what they do all the time - which is giving 100 percent effort and trying to win a position." Source: USA Today
well of course his roster spot might be in jeopardy. You just had a draft, you have a group of new players that are gonna be trying to get roster spots
Am I the only one who saw something wrong this statement? When you draft at a position it's because there's a need for it. Meaning the player usually isn't cutting it.
