Hawaii wide receiver John Ursua and Washington tight end Drew Sample were among others who visited the team.
Ursua, who tore his ACL as a sophomore in 2017, projects as a slot receiver in the NFL, a position of need for the Lions.

NFL Draft Preview:Wide Receivers ( 2019 )
John Ursua tore his ACL during the middle of his Sophomore Season. To his credit, he had a very productive Junior season. Leading the nation in receiving TD's is impressive to say the least.
Ursua likely will exclusively be a slot WR on Offense in the NFL, other than possible gadget plays. He has returned punts but his numbers in that facet of play are ordinary at best.
Because Ursua probably won't contribute on Special Teams much in the NFL, his value is lessened despite his highly productive receiving stats.
The 5th Round would be the absolute earliest he should be taken in the draft. He would seem to be a pretty good 6th Round option for the Lions. If Ursua isn't drafted, he would be a high priority UDRFA to try to sign.
