Allen Park — The Detroit Lions had just wrapped the team's longest, most physically demand practice of training camp. As most of the players slowly walked back to the locker room with slumped shoulders, exhausted from the evening's grueling pace, safety Tracy Walker was one of a handful who lingered on the field to put in some extra work.
Alongside his counterpart in the defensive backfield DeShon Elliott, Walker worked with defensive backs coach Aubrey Pleasant through a number of drills designed to simulate catching an interception in less-than-ideal circumstances, whether around the body or a receiver or while on the ground.
