Lions

Lions GM Brad Holmes said that WR D.J. Chark was exactly what the team was looking for at wide receiver this offseason.

“There are certain favorites that just emerge through that process and DJ was one of them,” Holmes said on Sirius XM NFL Radio. “It’s just that he just fit what we’re about. We have a lot of collaboration sessions, just coaching and personnel and getting on the same page and just to hear [receivers coach Antwaan] Randle El and [offensive coordinator] Ben Johnson just talk about what they’re looking for at the receiver position. And everybody talks about the X receiver position, but Ben is a pretty creative guy — he’s got no problem moving guys around. But DJ fit a lot of those qualities about having speed, explosiveness, and length. And he’s a football player.”
