DETROIT -- After attending mini-camp with the Detroit Lions in late May, Georgia Force quarterback R.J. Archer will be headed back for the full training camp next month after re-signing with the NFL team Thursday.
The 6-foot-2, 219-pound signal caller out of William and Mary has thrown for 2,446 yards and 49 touchdowns with 12 interceptions on 229-of-382 passing this season for the Force (7-6), who currently lead the Arena Football League's South Division by a half-game.
According to published reports out of Detroit, Archer is expected to compete with Kellen Moore for the No. 3 quarterback job behind starter Matthew Stafford and back-up Shaun Hill.
With Archer gone, back-up Bryant Moniz, a rookie out of the University of Hawai'i, is expected to get the start for the Force in Saturday's road game at Utah, with the team signing a back-up prior to the game.
