The Detroit Free Press reports that Lions GM Martin Mayhew was upset by the complete lack of production his team got from the No. 3 WR spot last year. Bryant Johnson, one of the Lions’ biggest free-agent signings two years ago, caught 18 passes and lost his job midway through the season. Derrick Williams, Johnson’s replacement and a 2009 third-round pick, had three catches and finished the year on injured reserve.
“I expected that those guys would do better,” Mayhew said. “But over a period of time it becomes apparent that it’s not happening. It didn’t happen for those two guys last year. Derrick’s still a young guy. And he could still develop. Bryant’s not so young and needs to really work harder to improve his game, to be a part of our offense next year. But that’s kind of where it is with those guys. I think it impacted our entire offense not having a threat as that third receiver.”
