Per Sports Illustrated’s Arye Pulli, the Detroit Lions<\/a> are among a trio of teams that are set to meet<\/a> with Texas Tech wide receiver Reggie Virgil ahead of Virgil’s Pro Day next week.<\/p>\n The Lions join the New Orleans Saints<\/a> and Dallas Cowboys<\/a> among the trio of NFL teams that are set to meet with Virgil ahead of his Pro Day.<\/p>\n Virgil, a 6-foot-3, 190-pound receiver, reeled in 57 catches for 705 yards and six touchdowns with the Red Raiders last season. A native of Apopka, Fla., Virgil totaled 100 grabs for 1,583 yards and 16 touchdowns in 50 career games at Miami (Ohio) and Texas Tech.<\/p>\n Virgil clocked a 4.57 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine<\/a> in late February.<\/p>\n Here’s what NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein wrote about Virgil:<\/p>\n Expert NFL picks: Exclusive betting insights only at USA TODAY.<\/a><\/p>\n Tall, competitive wideout who proved he could jump from the MAC to the Big 12 and remain productive. Virgil saw starting reps in just two seasons, but he plays like a more experienced wideout. He\u2019s light on his feet to elude press. He can run challenging routes underneath, but he could use more attention to detail on some simpler routes. He has strong hands and good body control to win when contested. He\u2019s not special in any one area but is solid in most. Virgil could compete for a role as a WR4 with special-teams value. – Zierlein, NFL.com<\/p>\n Virgil’s Pro Day is set for next Thursday. The 2026 NFL draft is now just one month away.<\/p>\n For more\u00a0Lions<\/a>\u00a0coverage, follow us on X,\u00a0@TheLionsWire<\/a>, and give our\u00a0Facebook<\/a>\u00a0page a like.\u00a0Follow Josh on X,\u00a0@JoshOnLions<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"March 22, 2026, 5:50 p.m. ET Per Sports Illustrated’s Arye Pulli, the Detroit Lions are among a trio…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":828187,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2071],"tags":[95878,146,113,2506,7,147,6,52959,96502,95882,95896,95888,96684,95906,96716,95883,95881],"class_list":{"0":"post-828186","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-detroit-lions","8":"tag-accessfree","9":"tag-detroit","10":"tag-detroit-lions","11":"tag-detroitlions","12":"tag-football","13":"tag-lions","14":"tag-nfl","15":"tag-sstssportsnfllions","16":"tag-sstsnlions","17":"tag-tagamerican-football","18":"tag-tagnational-sports","19":"tag-tagnfl","20":"tag-tagnfl-scouting-combine","21":"tag-tagoverall-positive","22":"tag-tagsports-illustrated","23":"tag-tagsports-news","24":"tag-typestory"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116275839859937626","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/828186","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=828186"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/828186\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/828187"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=828186"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=828186"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=828186"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
