The Detroit Lions traded up in the fifth round, from Pick 181 to 168 to select Kentucky wide receiver Kendrick Law.
Here are the terms of that trade:
Trade details:
Law originally went to Alabama, but transferred after three years and minimal production in eight starts (343 yards, 1 TD). After transferring to Kentucky, he led the Wildcats with 540 yards receiving and added three touchdowns in 2025.
Law’s specialty is his athleticism. He has acceptable size at 5-foot-11, 203 pounds, but his speed is where his athletic profile really shines. He posted a 4.45 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine and has an overall RAS of 9.60.
Where he may have a path to the roster in Detroit is via special teams. He returned 31 kickoffs in college, averaging 22.9 yards per return. In total—between Alabama and Kentucky—he posted 537 special teams snaps. And with that athleticism, he could contend for a gunner job.
With the trade up, the Lions now have just two remaining picks in the draft: 205 overall (sixth round) and 222 overall (seventh).
The Lions moved up from Pick 181 to 168 in the fifth round to draft Kendrick Law.
Kendrick Law is a wide receiver from Kentucky known for his speed.
