In Dan Campbell’s pre-practice press conference, he was asked about the Detroit Lions revamped secondary, and he could barely contain his excitement.
“It’s a great place to be in,” Campbell said. “We have so many options right now, so much competitiveness. (Defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn) AG and I were talking about it again, (general manager) Brad (Holmes) and I are talking about it every evening. The talent level, the competitiveness, the versatility. Honestly, we have no idea who our starting lineup is going to be right now and it’s exciting. It’s so good.”
While many of those players remain sidelined, we saw flashes during Tuesday’s minicamp practice of what an improved secondary may do for a defense that struggled to defend the pass last year.
