The Detroit Lions continue to scan the free-agent market as training camp rolls along, and one name from their latest workout group certainly stands out.
According to the NFL transaction wire, Detroit brought eight players to Allen Park for tryouts, headlined by former Dallas Cowboys All-Pro cornerback Trevon Diggs. The group also included quarterbacks Jack Plummer and Jake Haener, receivers Julian Hicks and Ray-Ray McCloud, and linebackers Amari Burney, Milo Eifler and Amen Ogbongbemiga.
Ogbongbemiga has since signed with Detroit, while the Lions are also adding veteran quarterback Josh Dobbs following Teddy Bridgewater's retirement.
Diggs, 27, is easily the most accomplished player Detroit evaluated.
The former second-round pick exploded in 2021 when he led the NFL with 11 interceptions, returned two for touchdowns and earned First-Team All-Pro and Pro Bowl honors. He followed that with another Pro Bowl season in 2022.

Teddy Bridgewater retired and left the Detroit Lions with a QB2-sized hole that a former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback has now likely filled.
According to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo, ex-Steelers quarterback Joshua Dobbs has joined the Lions on a one-year deal, which will mark his second stint in Detroit after he spent time on the team's practice squad in 2022.
Dobbs, who was drafted by the Steelers in the fourth round of the 2017 NFL Draft, played in Pittsburgh from 2017 to 2019 and again from 2020 to 2021. He also played for the Jacksonville Jaguars (2019), Cleveland Browns (2022), Tennessee ***** ans (2022), Arizona Cardinals (2023), Minnesota Vikings (2023), San Francisco 49ers (2024), and New England Patriots (2025).
A literal rocket scientist with a major in aerospace engineering, Dobbs is often regarded as one of the smartest quarterbacks in the league and will no doubt look to bring an edge to Detroit's QB room.

Teddy Bridgewater is back in retirement, and the Detroit Lions didn't waste any time finding his replacement.
The Lions agreed to a one-year contract with veteran quarterback Josh Dobbs on Sunday, Aug. 9, Dobbs' agent posted on social media.
Dobbs has a long history with the Lions and new offensive coordinator Drew Petzing. He spent a month on the Lions' practice squad late in the 2022 season but did not appear in any games, and has played under Petzing in stints with the Cleveland Browns and Arizona Cardinals.
A fourth-round pick out of Tennessee in 2017, Dobbs is 3-12 in his career as a starter. He made eight of his starts in Petzing's first year as Cardinals offensive coordinator in 2023, when Arizona acquired him in a training camp trade with the Cleveland Browns while starter Kyler Murray was recovering from knee surgery.
Dobbs, 31, completed 62.8% of his passes with eight touchdowns and five interceptions for the Cardinals.

The Detroit Lions have already found their replacement for quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, adding veteran Josh Dobbs to the roster on Sunday, according to Dobbs' agent, Mike McCartney, on social media.
Dobbs, 31, is familiar with both the team and new offensive coordinator Drew Petzing. He spent more than two weeks on Detroit's practice squad during the 2022 season but departed when the Tennessee ****** ans signed him to the active roster just 16 days later.
Dobbs was traded to Petzing's Arizona Cardinals during the 2023 preseason and wound up starting eight games, going 1-7 in that span. He completed 62.8% of his passes for 1,569 yards, eight touchdowns and five interceptions under Petzing.
The move comes just hours after Lions coach Dan Campbell announced that Bridgewater, who was expected to back up Jared Goff during the 2025 season, is stepping away from football.
Dobbs, a fourth-round pick out of Tennessee by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2017, has made 27 career appearances and 15 starts since 2018. All but three of those starts came in 2023, when he was dealt to the Minnesota Vikings at the trade deadline as an emergency replacement for the injured Kirk Cousins. Dobbs went 2-2 with the Vikings but was ultimately benched for Nick Mullens.

The 49ers have often entered training camp with four quarterbacks under Kyle Shanahan. Last year, it was Brock Purdy, Mac Jones, Kurtis Rourke, Tanner Mordecai, and Carter Bradley. There was an extra quarterback in the fold with Rourke recovering from a knee injury.
The previous August, it was Purdy, Mordecai, Brandon Allen, and Josh Dobbs. In August 2023, It was Purdy, Allen, Sam Darnold, and Trey Lance.
The 49ers have four arms on the roster currently, with Purdy, Jones, Rourke, and Adrian Martinez. According to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston, the Niners will work out former UFL MVP Jack Plummer for the Orlando Storm. Plummer led the league with 2,188 yards and had 17 touchdowns with only one interception in 10 games. Plummer went undrafted in the 2024 NFL Draft, but was waived by the Carolina Panthers last August during roster cuts.
The 49ers might want to give Brock Purdy rest during the next month, or need a quarterback to throw late in preseason games. To me, the team working out a quarterback is a sign they want to upgrade from Martinez. Plummer’s stat line would suggest he is the kind of quarterback Shanahan would gravitate toward.
