Brad Kaaya came from a pro-style offense in college, one that was not too dissimilar from the one Matthew Stafford ran at Georgia, so he had a head start on most rookies.
But two weeks into training camp, even Kaaya looked like he was drowning at times in the Lions’ oversized playbook.
“Put it this way,” Kaaya said. “The amount of offense I had last season was probably installed by Day 2 (here).”
That’s why Kaaya’s debut in Sunday’s 24-10 preseason win over the Indianapolis Colts was a big step in the right direction for the rookie quarterback and sixth-round pick.
