On a sunny Thursday afternoon, the Detroit Lions took the field for their fifth Organized Team Activity (OTA) practice. The tempo is starting to pick up, and there were a lot more opportunities for observations this week, as practice was a little bit longer, and the team had many more team drills and seven-on-seven reps.
Here are six players that stood out to me on Thursday. (Note: Because the players are still not wearing pads, I did not include any players from the offensive or defensive lines.)
Jared Goff
Before the Lions even took the field on Thursday, both head coach Dan Campbell and offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn told local media that Goff was coming off a fantastic performance on Wednesday.
