The Lions added another offensive lineman to the roster on Wednesday, signing Kayode Awosika to the active roster. Detroit poached Awosika off the practice squad from the Philadelphia Eagles, the Lions’ opponent in Week 1.
Awosika is in his second NFL season out of Buffalo. He signed with the Eagles as an undrafted free agent following the 2021 NFL draft. The 6-foot-3, 312-pound Minnesota native was a tackle in college but has worked inside at guard during his time with the Eagles.
I was aware of Awosika and watched him a little with the Bulls in college, but I wanted a deeper picture. To get more intel on Awosika, I asked a few people who covered him with the Eagles for their thoughts on the newest Lions lineman. Here’s what they had to say.
