Lions WR Patrick Edwards is a candidate to return punts and kicks.
Edwards, a 2012 undrafted free agent out of Houston, spent all of last season on the practice squad. He would have been promoted to the active roster in-season had he not suffered a torn quad. Edwards has reportedly "stood out" at this weekend's minicamp. He averaged 14.7 yards per punt return in college. May 11 - 5:45 PM

Patrick Edwards - WR - Lions

Tim Twentyman of DetroitLions.com gives WR Patrick Edwards and QB Kellen Moore the best odds, among undrafted free agents, of cracking the team's 53-man roster.

Coach Jim Schwartz previously admitted surprise that Edwards went undrafted and the team was quick to scoop him up. The former Houston Cougar was a rookie camp standout and has to be considered the favorite for the No. 5 receiver job. The winningest quarterback in NCAA history, Moore is slotted in behind Matt Stafford and Shaun Hill and will only stick if they keep three on the roster.

Patrick Edwards - WR - Lions

Lions coach Jim Schwartz is high on undrafted free agent WR Patrick Edwards.

"(We) were very surprised that he didn't get drafted," Schwartz said. "He was a guy that we went to work on right away, as soon as that draft was over." Edwards caught 89 passes for 1,752 yards and an NCAA-leading 20 touchdowns last season, but stands 5'9/172. He may need Ryan Broyles (torn ACL) to begin the year on PUP to have any chance of cracking Detroit's crowded receiver corps.
