2024 NFL Draft results: Detroit Lions trade up, draft unique two-way player Sione Vaki

The Detroit Lions traded into the fourth round for a second time on Saturday and used the pick to select Utah safety/running back Sione Vaki with the 132nd overall pick

The Lions had a lot of reported interest in Vaki, who is one of the most interesting prospects in the NFL. Detroit had a formal visit with him at the NFL Combine and also brought him in for a top-30 visit.

Vaki played mostly safety in college, but he also filled in at running back for the Utes, rushing for 317 yards and five touchdowns on 42 carries last season.
