ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Kenny Golladay was lined up at the 3-yard line. It was during one-on-one drills with cornerbacks, a daily part of the team’s practice where he’ll typically go up against a Detroit Lions corner and have a quarterback throw him the ball.
Sometimes, it’s from deeper on the field. Sometimes they work much closer to the end zone. And on Sunday, it was time to work some goal line again. And Golladay, the rookie receiver from Northern Illinois, lined up against starting cornerback Nevin Lawson.
The rep started and by the time he caught the fade route in the back corner of the end zone over Lawson, he had created enough separation in a short space to be noticed.
