DET Jacob Saylors
NFL player. Position: RB (Running Back). Team: Detroit Lions.
Quick Facts
- Position: RB (Running Back) / Return Specialist
- Team: Detroit Lions (DET)
- Contract: 1-year extension, $1.005M (2026)
- Background: UFL (St. Louis Battlehawks), #9-ranked return specialist in 2025
2026 Outlook
Saylors was the ninth-ranked return specialist in the NFL in 2025, appearing in 16 games with 33 returns for 897 yards (27.2 avg) and a 39-yard long. He brings dual-position appeal as a reserve RB who's primarily a return specialist and potential backup role player. His one-year, $1.005M extension from Detroit kept him in the system through 2026. In the Lions' committee backfield, Saylors' fantasy value is tied to return-specialist upside and limited touches. (per UFL Special Team Standouts The NFL Should Sign - UFL News Hub)
