Peterson signs with Detroit Lions

Cade Peterson, a graduate of Glen Lake and Grand Valley State University, inked a deal with the Detroit Lions Monday.

Peterson will showcase his skills at their Rookie Mini Camp in May.

“I owe a lot to my parents and brothers. I owe a lot of the success I had at Glen Lake to get to Grand Valley. I owe a ton to Grand Valley and just the way that the program operated,” Peterson said. “It wasn’t something that I necessarily believed I was going to have a shot to play at GVSU. The coaches trusted me when I first started my full season in 2021 ... It just feels so good to be able to have the support system that I had all the way from people at home and people at Grand Valley and all my family and friends.”
