Walker looks like a speed guy with limited production at UCLA . If It the right Walker. The Rams seem to be looking for the next TA replacement. Good idea as you can't teach speed. Draft profile on Rector had drops at Stanford with 4.42 speed. Link at the end. You never know and it keeps the evaluators in good practice form.

The
Detroit Lions have continued with their cuts on Friday afternoon. The next player waived was wide receiver
Michael Rector,
according to ESPN’s Michael Rothstein.
Rector went undrafted in April’s 2017 draft. The Lions scooped him up along with fellow undrafted rookie receivers
Noel Thomas and Dontez Ford. Back at Stanford, Rector racked up 104 catches, 1,681 yards and 15 receiving touchdowns in four years.
In Detroit, Rector was always a longshot to make the final 53-man roster. Though he played plenty in the final preseason game, he was always behind the likes of
Jace Billingsley,
Jared Abbrederis and even
Dontez Ford on the depth chart. In four preseason appearances, Rector managed just three catches for 44 yards.
Rector is practice squad eligible, but considering the Lions’ depth at wide receiver, he’s unlikely to land a spot on the 10-man roster.
