Though I wasn’t there to witness it, Thursday’s training camp for the Detroit Lions was reportedly a dominant one from Matthew Stafford and the Lions offense. For most of training camp veterans like Marvin Jones Jr. and Kenny Golladay have shown their dominance over the Lions’ young and adjusting defense. We’ve even fawned a bit over some of Detroit’s young weapons on offense like D’Andre Swift, T.J. Hockenson, and Jason Huntley.
But what I witnessed on Friday was the defense’s strong rebuttal. We saw batted balls, we saw pass rush from unexpected places and we saw the Lions’ third overall pick notch his first interception in practice.
