The reports on the web indicate former Alabama tight end Preston Dial already found a NFL home. That lockout wasn’t over a few hours before the story made the rounds.
Dial is reportedly heading to the Detroit Lions. Read this or this for more details. There’s still a lot of work to do before he can land a roster spot. Remember, he was not drafted in April.
Dial was the go-to tight end as a receiver last season. His 25 catches for 264 yards ranked fourth on the team as a senior.
From a beat writer’s point of view, Dial was always solid when meeting with reporters. A friend to the media indeed.
