Tom Kennedy Bio

Tom Kennedy is an NFL wide receiver and return specialist for the Detroit Lions, where he wears No. 85. Detroit’s current roster lists him as active in 2026, and the Lions’ July 2026 wide-receiver preview also included him among the club’s receivers. Kennedy is listed at 5-foot-10 and 195 pounds, attended Bryant, and was born July 29, 1996, in Farmingdale, New York.

Kennedy entered the NFL as an undrafted rookie signing with Detroit after the 2019 draft. His Lions career has included time on the active roster and practice squad, with contributions at receiver and in the return game. His notable moments include a 75-yard touchdown pass to Kalif Raymond against Green Bay on January 9, 2022, and a 44-yard late-game reception at Chicago on November 13, 2022, that helped set up Detroit’s winning touchdown. Those plays reflect a versatile role: a compact receiver who has been trusted on special teams and occasionally used for misdirection or trick-play duties.
