Allen Park — Detroit Lions rookie minicamp is this weekend and OTAs will be in full swing after that, plus there's always residual questions after the draft, so we do have plenty to talk about. So let's get to it with this mailbag thing that we do.
@Justin_Rogers Never heard of a player (Asiata) working out along side the rookies, why do the Lions want such an extended look at him?

It's not uncommon. The Patriots are working out safety Taylor Mays, a former second-round pick, as part of their team's rookie minicamp.
