Detroit has a stable of good WR's But they don't have someone of his size. Odds are probably 50/50.

As of now this is Fulgham’s competition. Golloday and Jones are the two top receivers on the roster. I like TF’s chances of making the team and seeing significant playing time. This appears to me to be a very good fit for him.
