Norfolk State football player Bobby Price took another step on his NFL journey when he was signed to the Detroit Lions practice squad Sunday.
Price, 22, was signed as an undrafted free agent by the team in April. The Virginia Beach native was a four-year standout and two-time All-MEAC performer in the Spartans’ defensive backfield. He played in 42 career games and started 37 times at safety. Price finished his career with 229 tackles, eight for loss, to go with seven interceptions, 23 pass breakups and four fumble recoveries.
As a senior in 2019, Price made a career-best 73 tackles, earning second-team All-MEAC honors. He was also a track and field standout at NSU, winning the MEAC outdoor long jump title and advancing to the NCAA East Preliminary Round as a junior last year.
Detroit opens the 2020 NFL season at home Sunday against the Chicago Bears.
