    Some comments about Veldman from Lions camp:

    The tight end cuts might be the most intriguing. Williams is a blocking tight end. He was drafted with the idea that he'd replace Will Heller as the third tight end and H-back. But in camp thus far, the Lions have been using fullbacks Montell Owens and Shaun Chapas in two-back sets more than an H-back.
    The team also signed 6-7 Joseph Fauria from UCLA immediately after the draft, and brought in Matt Veldman, a diversely skilled player who spent last season injured with Jacksonville.
    Those two, plus returning starters Brandon Pettigrew and Tony Scheffler, give them conceivably four tight ends who could contribute this season. Veldman and Williams seem to be long-shots at this point, but what happens if Scheffler, who is in the last year of his contract, scuffles in the exhibition games?
    North Dakota State, a football team the big boys of college football should avoid like the plague, helped christen a $90 million renovation to Snyder Family Stadium — including a statue of famed Kansas State coach Bill Snyder himself — by taking a sledgehammer to the place.

    Due to a training camp injury and good depth at the TE position, Matt Veldman was released from the Lions today.
    Sioux SUCK! It just has a nice ring to it.

    You'd think the Vike's could use him. Hope they'd give him a look.

    Injuries, suck. I really think Veldman had the body for the nfl, but that darn injury bug.....

    He's two for two at getting hurt at the worst possible time.

    I'm thinking he should start browsing north of the border.

    Vikes are pretty solid at TE with Rudolph and Carlson.

    Hate to see a guy lose his shot due to injury!

    Good for Matt for signing with the Lions. That team Is. Impressive. Wow!
