The biggest narrative to follow as the Detroit Lions kick off training camp later next month will be the competition at wide receiver. Gone are names like Kenny Golladay, Danny Amendola, and Marvin Jones Jr. as the new regime in Detroit has decided to rely on relative unknowns to populate their receiver corps.

Several veteran free-agent receivers were signed to one-year deals this offseason to help offset the numerous losses at the position. New arrivals like Tyrell Williams, Kalif Raymond, Breshad Perriman, Chad Hansen, and Damion Ratley are all hoping their newest NFL home in Detroit becomes the start of Pro Bowl NFL careers.
