Through the first two phases of offseason workouts, we’ve learned next to nothing about this new Detroit Lions team under Matt Patricia. The media was essentially closed out from rookie minicamp, while all other workouts that were available to the public were so unrevealing that we’ve learned nothing new about the team.
However, that’s very likely to change this week. The Lions begin Phase 3 of offseason workouts this week, with organized team activities (OTAs) starting Monday and running through the next month or so. For the first time in the offseason, teams are permitted to run full team 7-on-7, 9-on-7 and 11-on-11 drills during—although no pads and live contact are allowed.
