Colby Sorsdal got his first live first-team reps with the Detroit Lions' offensive line Thursday, and for the rookie fifth-round pick, it was an eye-opening experience.
"It was great," Sorsdal said. "It’s like a different attitude kind of coming in there with the ones and seeing those guys, with J.G. (Jared Goff) running the huddle and all that. It’s kind of surreal, but it was awesome. It was an awesome experience. I thought I did really well."
Sorsdal played one series with the starting group at right guard in the Lions' controlled scrimmage. He matched up multiple times with rookie defensive tackle Brodric Martin — one of the most pleasant surprises of camp — had one of the key blocks on a Jahmyr Gibbs run and did not allow a pressure.
