During Tuesday’s Organized Team Activities, it was clear the Detroit Lions valued their tight ends. Team rules are very strict about what observations we can and cannot report, so instead of getting into specifics about what I saw, I’ll offer this paragraph from Tim Twentyman of DetroitLions.com to illustrate my point:
The Lions ran a goal line drill against the defense using just tight ends during Tuesday’s practice. I can’t say I’ve ever seen that before. I view that as an indication that the position will be have some prominence in the new scheme.
