The Detroit Lions hosted veteran wide receiver Scotty Miller for a visit on Tuesday, according to multiple reports, as the team continues evaluating potential additions to its receiving corps following the 2026 NFL Draft.

Miller, 29, became the second wide receiver to visit the Lions’ Allen Park Performance Center this week. Earlier reports indicated that fellow wideout James Proche was also in town for a tryout as Detroit explores veteran depth options.

Scotty Miller’s NFL Background

Miller began his college career at Bowling Green Falcons football from 2015 to 2018 before being selected in the sixth round of the 2019 NFL Draft by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

During his four seasons with Tampa Bay, Miller emerged as a reliable deep threat. His most productive campaign came in 2020 when he recorded 33 receptions for 501 yards and three touchdowns.

After leaving Tampa Bay, Miller spent the 2023 season with the Atlanta Falcons before signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2024.

Lions Evaluating Receiver Depth

Detroit currently has nine wide receivers on its roster, including rookie Kendrick Law, who was selected in the fifth round of the 2026 draft.

Following his visit in Detroit, Miller is reportedly scheduled to travel to Chicago to work out for the Lions’ NFC North rival, the Chicago Bears.

Brad Holmes on Kendrick Law’s Explosiveness

Lions general manager Brad Holmes recently shared with team play-by-play announcer Dan Miller why the organization was drawn to Law during the scouting process.

Holmes recalled watching Law during a college matchup between Alabama Crimson Tide football and Georgia Bulldogs football in 2020, noting the young receiver’s explosiveness and route-running ability.

According to Holmes, Law’s combination of running-back-like build and quick route breaks immediately stood out, convincing him that the former Kentucky Wildcats football standout had strong NFL potential.

Lions Still Monitoring Free Agency

Holmes also emphasized that Detroit’s personnel department continues to monitor the veteran free-agent market even after the draft.

The Lions are expected to review players who remain unsigned, including veterans and prospects who may attend rookie minicamps but fail to land contracts. Holmes noted the team could still have room to add another player if the right opportunity presents itself.

“We’ve already identified some veteran free agents that could become available,” Holmes said, adding that the evaluation process never truly stops for the front office.

As the offseason continues, the Lions remain active in searching for roster upgrades as they prepare for the upcoming NFL season.
