The Detroit Lions are signing tight end Kenny Yeboah from the New York Jets. Yeboah, who’s 6-foot-4 and 250 pounds, brings a physical presence to the Lions’ tight end position. He’s been in the NFL for four years, playing in 33 games and making two starts, with nine career receptions for 111 yards and a touchdown.
Yeboah’s role with the Jets was more focused on blocking, with 88 of his 106 offensive snaps last season coming as an inline tight end. He’s also contributed significantly on special teams, with over 100 snaps in each of his four seasons.
The Lions needed tight end depth, with only Sam LaPorta and Brock Wright under contract before signing Yeboah. This move addresses that need and provides an interesting addition to the Lions’ roster.
Yeboah’s experience and physicality will likely make him a valuable asset for the Lions, particularly in blocking situations. His ability to contribute on special teams is also a plus.
As the Lions continue to shape their roster for the upcoming season, the addition of Yeboah provides a solid foundation at the tight end position. With his experience and skills, Yeboah is poised to make a positive impact in Detroit.
