PRO: Bodiford, who was signed by the Lions as an undrafted free agent on May 4, is one of two rookie free agents to make the Lions opening day roster. After a tremendous training camp, Bodiford is expected to see time this season not only at the wide receiver position, but also as a kick returner and punt returner for the special teams.
2006:
• Inactive due to a knee injured suffered in training camp for first two weeks of regular season (SEA 9/10, at Chi 9/17 and GB 9/24).
• Played in his first game as a pro at St. Louis (10/01), seeing time in offensive sets.
• Recorded two special teams tackles at Minnesota (10/8).

Well, according to the internet, he appears to be (have been?) on the Lions roster. If he's on the roster, I'm not sure how we could have gotten him, but from what I'm reading about the kid he's got a high motor and had an outstanding training camp but has been injured this season (he's a rookie.)</delurk>Comment

Packers claim Bodiford, put Ferguson on IR
Green Bay - Seeking insurance in case injured rookie Greg Jennings can't play this week, the Green Bay Packers claimed wide receiver Shaun Bodiford on waivers from the Detroit Lions Monday.
Bodiford, a 5-foot-11, 186-pound undrafted rookie out of Portland State, played in three games for the Lions this season, serving mostly on special teams. He was released over the weekend and the Packers put in a claim and were granted his services.
In college, Bodiford, 24, averaged 24.1 yards per kickoff return and caught 51 passes for 545 yards and five touchdowns last year.
To make room for Bodiford, the Packers placed wide receiver Robert Ferguson on injured reserve, thus ending his season. Ferguson suffered a foot injury against the Philadelphia Eagles Oct. 2 and hasn't played since.
After seeing a number of specialists, the Packers determined that he wouldn't be able to come back this year and decided to fill his spot. Ferguson, a second-round pick in 2001, has missed nine of 64 games over the past four seasons because of injury and has had difficulty staying healthy his entire career.
This season, he lost his starting job to Jennings, a second-round pick, during training camp and was serving as the No. 3 receiver until his injury. He had five catches for 31 yards and a touchdown in four games.
Jennings injured his ankle against the Miami Dolphins Sunday and might not be available this week against Arizona. Coach Mike McCarthy said the ankle is not broken and that Jennings suffered a sprain.Comment

ANYONE that you sign at this point, even a vet, is a cast off from another team. If what has been written about Bodiford holds true, he is a decent kick returner and is decent on special teams. That is what Ferguson was to the Packers, and that is what they have to replace. His receptions will be picked up by Martin and Francies.Originally posted by redComment
