Detroit Lions Eye Mid-Round Tight End

Detroit Lions Tight End Dilemma: John Michael Gyllenborg from Wyoming Emerges as Potential Mid-Round Draft Pick

The Detroit Lions are in need of a tight end following Sam LaPortas season-ending injury, and theyre considering mid-round picks in the NFL draft to fill the void. One name gaining attention is John Michael Gyllenborg from Wyoming, who is projected to be selected in the fourth round and even mocked directly to the Lions by draft analyst Jeff Risdon.

Gyllenborg brings size and skills to the position, making him a solid prospect for the Lions. However, his injury history, including a hamstring pull, high ankle sprain, and knee sprain in his last two college seasons, raises some concerns. Despite these injuries, he played full slates in 2023 and 2022.

In high school, Gyllenborg suffered a season-ending knee LCL injury after just three games, but he recovered strongly without any major issues. The overall concern about his injury history is rated at a four out of ten, with a need for a deep medical check on his knee to rule out any hidden cartilage damage.

If Gyllenborg passes the medical examination, he could be a valuable mid-round steal for the Lions, helping to bolster their tight end room heading into the next season.
