Former Detroit Lions WR Donovan Peoples-Jones Lands Tryout
According to a report from John Hendrix, Donovan Peoples-Jones, the former Michigan Wolverine and Detroit Lions wide receiver, is participating in the New Orleans Saints’ rookie minicamp this weekend as one of 16 tryout players.
Peoples-Jones was originally acquired by the Lions in a 2023 trade deadline deal, and appeared in eight games that season. He caught five passes for 58 yards and was praised for his blocking and team-first attitude.
Though he re-signed with Detroit for the 2024 season, he did not make the final 53-man roster, spending the entire year on the Lions’ practice squad.
Now, he’s hoping to turn a rookie minicamp tryout into a full roster opportunity in New Orleans. The Saints are in need of depth at wide receiver, and a strong showing from DPJ could get him another shot on an NFL roster.
