Cole Wick is most impressive Lions' undrafted free agent
Detroit Lions tight end Cole Wick has been "the best" of Detroit's undrafted rookie class.
The 22-year-old out of Incarnate Word stands 6'5/256. He ran a sluggish 4.93 forty at his Pro Day, but showed impressive explosion with a 36 1/2" vertical and 10-foot-5 broad jump. Per MLive.com's Kyle Meinke, Wick has gotten "a ton" of reps and "hauled in passes all over the place." Wick has a real chance at a roster spot with Tim Wright on injured reserve and could be a red-zone player.
Even starter Eric Ebron wasn't hyper-efficient with his looks last year, but more targets will mean better numbers. He ranked 19th in Reception Net Expected Points per target (0.64) among the 44 tight ends with at least 30 targets in 2015.
