Godwin Igwebuike Signs tender with Detroit

Igwebuike signed his exclusive-rights tender with the Lions on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Analysis: Igwebuike will be back for his second season with Detroit and his fourth NFL season overall. The reserve running back appeared in all 17 games for the Lions last season, tallying 18 rushes for 118 yards and one rushing touchdown as well as seven catches for 60 yards, but made his biggest impact as the team's primary kick returner with 697 return yards but no touchdowns. Igwebuike should reprise this role next season with Detroit but will look to eliminate his turnover mistakes after fumbling twice in 2021.

Godwin Igwebuike Fails to catch pass on fake punt

Igwebuike was targeted once but did not record a catch during Sunday's 37-30 win over Green Bay.

Analysis: Breaking a nine-game streak of seeing time on offense, Igwebuike didn't log any offensive snaps and his one opportunity to catch a pass came on a fake punt. The special-teamer will thus finish the 2021 campaign with 18 carries for 118 rushing yards and one touchdown along with seven catches on 10 targets for 60 receiving yards. While his stats may not jump off the page, it was largely a successful season for the converted running back who transitioned from safety during the offseason. Igwebuike will now be an exclusive-rights free agent at the end of the league year and he has a good chance to stick around in Detroit given his usefulness on special teams.
