There’s competition up and down the Lions roster at a number of spots for starting jobs, playing roles and roster spots. One of those is at receiver. Who will end up rounding out that room after St. Brown, Williams and Kalif Raymond?
One player who’s made an early impression on Campbell is fourth-year wide receiver Daurice Fountain.
“Fountain was one of those guys that, when we got him here last year, practice squad, by the end of the year, he was one of those where you were like, ‘Man, this guy improved.’ Like you could see it in practice, you could feel it, and man, he works, gosh he’s a worker,” Campbell said.
“He’s one of those guys that – yeah, he’s caught our eye, he’s caught my eye, like I see him, and I told him that yesterday, he is making plays. We like where he’s at, he’s caught our eye.”
A former fifth-round pick by the Indianapolis Colts out of Northern Iowa, Fountain spent two seasons with the Colts, one in Kansas City and a practice squad stint in Chicago before signing to Detroit’s practice squad last season and spending the entire year there.
Fountain has good size at 6-foot-2, 210 pounds and is making a case so far in camp both offensively and on special teams for one of the final spots at receiver.
