Detroit Lions Sign Long Snapper Scott Daly

The Detroit Lions have signed a long snapper to compete with veteran Don Muhlbach.

According to Pro Star Sports, Scott Daly has signed with the Lions to attempt to earn a roster spot.

Daly played college football at Notre Dame, and has previously stated he began specializing in the long-snap department back in the fifth grade.

After going undrafted, Daly signed with the Dallas Cowboys, but was waived in September of 2018.

In October of 2018, Daly signed with the San Antonio Commanders of the now defunct Alliance of American Football. The AAF ceased operations in April of 2019.

The Lions hopeful attempted to play in the reformed XFL in 2019, and was was drafted by the New York Guardians. Unfortunately, he had his contract terminated when the league suspended operations on April 10, 2020.

Muhlbach, Detroit's longest-tenured roster member, has been with the organization since 2004. He recently signed a contract to return for his 18th season in Motown.

"I’ve done it before, so maybe I could help with it,” Muhlbach said back in December. “I do feel like I want to get this thing going in the right direction before they get rid of me. So, I don’t know. All I know is, right now, my body feels pretty good."

Lions sign guard Evan Heim

Detroit continued to add depth to its offensive line Tuesday, signing guard Evan Heim.

Heim, who stands in at 6-foot-4 and 307 pounds, played collegiate football at Minnesota State-Mankato.

In 54 games, he played at left tackle (43 games) and right tackle (11 games), and aided his team in setting single-season records in points, rushing yards, total offense and rushing touchdowns in 2019.

He is expected to compete with linemen Logan Stenberg, Evan Brown, Drake Jackson and Tommy Kraemer for playing time in a backup role.
