Tim Twentyman's offseason rookie report

The 18 rookies on the Detroit Lions roster are about to embark on the most import three-week job interview of their lives.

Training camp is when the men separate themselves from the boys in the NFL. It’s the time when some of these rookies will earn starting roles, some will earn roster spots and some will have their NFL dreams come to an end.

The coaching staff and the front office will expect them to know what they’re doing and make plays the first day they step on the field in training camp. Some will hit the ground running.
