The Detroit Lions are no stranger to international players, having brought Havard “Kickalicious” Rugland in for a well-publicized training camp and preseason stint.

It looks like they’re continuing to cast a wide net.

British-born NFL employee Henry Hodgson Tweeted on late Wednesday night that the Lions worked out German-born receiver Moritz Boehringer:

Boehringer was drafted in the sixth round of the 2016 draft by the Minnesota Vikings; per NFL.com he was the first player to be drafted straight out of a European pro league.

The 6-4, 224-pound Boehringer’s time with Minnesota was short, and Lions cut several wideouts who looked as though they could contribute either on offense or special teams. With no other information or corroborating report, we’re left only to speculate on why he deserved a look-see.

Could Detroit have been bringing the Stuttgart native in as a tight end? Or are they just keeping their options open?
