I saw that on twitter. It is a bummer but just a bump in the road. Hopefully he gets a shot elsewhere, especially with his size.

I hope he gets picked up by another team.

".....Veldman had 26 catches for 331 yards and three touchdowns as a senior at NDSU in 2011.
He joins Brandon Pettigrew, Tony Scheffler, Michael Williams (rookie - Alabama - 7th rd pick), and
Joseph Fauria (rookie - UCLA - UFA) at the position on the Lions roster.
The Lions released tight end Dominique Curry to make room for Veldman on the 90-man roster."

Brandon Pettigrew - 59 receptions - 567 yards - 9.6 yds/re - 3 tds
Tony Scheffler 42 receptions - 504 yds - 12 yds/re - 1 TD
I'm a Lions fan and am jacked that Matt is recently signed. Hopefully he can get on the field. Tough competition from Scheffler and Pettigrew though. If he can catch the ball consistently, he'll play, as Pettigrew is prone to the drops and the coaches were frustrated with him all year in 2012.
Sioux SUCK! It just has a nice ring to it.
