Lions minicamp observations: UDFA wide receiver standing out

Allen Park — Here are some notes and observations from the second day of the Detroit Lions' mandatory minicamp.

u25a0 It's too early to start any hype trains, but undrafted wide receiver Teo Redding has been one of the early offseason surprises. The 6-foot-1 receiver out of Bowling Green is showing off his explosive leaping ability (38.5-inch vertical) and good hands, making a couple of full-extension grabs on deep passes from backup quarterback Matt Cassel.

Of course the level of competition must be considered. Redding isn't working against Darius Slay or Teez Tabor in these practices.
