Allen Park — Kenny Golladay will tell you he has a long way to go learning the Detroit Lions’ scheme. That’s probably true for the third-round draft pick, who has just a handful of practices under his belt.

But in that limited time, the big wide receiver already has made an impression.

During Wednesday’s OTA practice, he showed refined control of his 6-foot-4 frame, going up and coming down with a touchdown pass on a fade route during full-team drills.

“Yeah, he’s one of those guys that really works at it,” coach Jim Caldwell said.
