Former Hawaii quarterback Tim Chang was signed by the Detroit Lions today, the NFL team announced.
The Lions have veterans Joey Harrington and Jeff Garcia. Chang will presumably compete with Dan Orlovsky and Todd Mortensen for the third spot.
“We want to take a good look at him and see how he learns our offense, or if he is a guy that is a candidate to bring back at another time, that sort of thing,” said coach Steve Mariucci. “We have seen him play on film in a very exciting offense, but since he is available — he was in the Arizona camp — we may want to take a little bit closer look.”
The Lions’ starting center is Dominic Raiola. Like Chang, Raiola is a graduate of Saint Louis School.
Chang ended his college career at UH with an NCAA-record 17.072 yards passing. After going undrafted, he signed a free agent contract with the Arizona Cardinals, but was cut Aug. 9. Chang was not immediately available for comment.
