One of the rumors that had been floating around the Detroit Lions all offseason was Jamal Agnew’s switch from defensive back to wide receiver and on Wednesday offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell confirmed the transition.
Now that it is official and the public has been informed, the Lions’ senior writer Tim Twentyman was finally able to write about it and their social media accounts were able to promote it.
Not long after Twentyman’s article was promoted by the Lions Twitter handle, former Lions wide receiver Golden Tate responded to that tweet by offering to help Agnew make the transition:
Tate and Agnew played together in Detroit for a year and a half — before Tate was traded to the Eagles in 2018 — and stylistically Agnew could fill a similar role to Tate as a slot/gadget weapon.
At the time of this posting, Agnew had yet to respond publically, but for a player on the bubble looking to make a difficult transition, it is probably in his best interest to get on the phone as soon as possible.
