ALLEN PARK -- The Detroit Lions targeted big players in the draft. And they continued to target big players after the draft.

Jonathan Duhart, a 6-foot-3 receiver from Old Dominion, was among the first wave of players to agree to undrafted free-agent deals with Detroit. He was college teammates with Travis Fulgham, a 6-2 receiver that Detroit took in the sixth round of the draft.

They instantly become the Lions’ biggest receivers outside of Kenny Golladay.

Duhart actually caught more passes than Fulgham during the season, leading Conference USA with 74 receptions. He gained 1,045 yards and scored a team-high nine touchdowns.

The Lions have a long history of carrying undrafted rookies. Last year, receiver Brandon Powell was on the team for all 17 weeks. The year before that, running back Tion Green. Another running back, Zach Zenner, is entering his fifth year with the club.

Other deals, per various reports:

Receiver: Andre Wilson (UAB)

Tight end: Nate Becker (Miami, Ohio), Donald Parham (Stetson)

Defensive line: Ray Smith (Boston College), Malik Carney (North Carolina), Matt Nelson (Iowa)

Linebacker: Tre Lemar (Clemson)
