$Signed a one-year contract with the Lions in July of 2018.
Performs well in reserve role
DTDetroit Lions
January 18, 2019
Jean Francois totaled 30 tackles and two sacks in 16 games for the Lions in 2018.
ANALYSIS
Jean Francois had a head start on his teammates since he was already familiar with first-year head coach Matt Patricia's scheme from the time they spent working together in New England in 2017. The familiarity evidently paid off given the veteran's strong play in a reserve role at defensive tackle. However, the 32-year-old will now become a free agent and isn't guaranteed to return to Detroit in 2019.

Jean-Francois joined the Packers during the offseason after two years with the Redskins. He is not expected to start but will be a key member of Green Bay’s defensive line rotation.
Will compete for a starting defensive lineman role. Had a career high three sacks in 2014.
Jean-Francois played just ten games last season as he missed time due to a plantar fascia tear. He had 2.5 sacks in ten games which almost matched his career total. There's reason to think he could improve significantly in Indy's system this season if he plays a full season.
Jean-Francois was signed as a free agent after spending the last four seasons with the 49ers. He is expected to start as a defensive end in the 3-4.
Jean Francois will likely be a backup at nose tackle.
