Deese spent the 2022 offseason with the Lions after signing as an undrafted free agent out of San Jose State. He was on Detroit’s initial practice squad but was released early in the season.

He joins 10 other Lions who finished on the team’s practice squad and signed reserve/future contracts earlier this week.
