The Detroit Lions signed all four of their Day 3 draft picks before the start of rookie minicamp.
The Lions announced the signing of fifth-round pick Miles Frazier, sixth-rounder Ahmed Hassanein and seventh-rounders Dan Jackson and Dominic Lovett.
First-round pick Tyleik Williams, second-rounder Tate Ratledge and third-rounder Issac TeSlaa remain unsigned for now.
All rookie draft picks receive slotted four-year contracts under the NFL’s collective bargaining agreement, and the Lions’ will have a fifth-year team option on Williams once his deal is finalized later this spring.
