Allen Park — Class is in session for the Lions rookies, fresh off their first minicamp and now thrown in with the general population.
But for a pair of veterans in Rick Wagner and T.J. Lang, two offensive lineman with a combined 121 career NFL games between them, this is all still pretty new, too.
After a month in Allen Park, it no longer feels “like the first day of school,” as Lang put it. They know their way to and from the practice facility, and their way around inside it as well, from the cafeteria to the weight room.
