As the Detroit Lions kick off rookie minicamp, assistant general manager Ray Agnew spoke on the team’s 2024 draft class for the first time. Most notably, Agnew provided a little bit of clarity on what positions two of Detroit’s most interesting draft picks—fourth-rounders Giovanni Manu and Sione Vaki—will start camp at.
Manu played most of his college career at left tackle, and at 6-foot-8, 350 pounds seemed destined to stay there. However, Manu revealed in post-draft interviews that the Lions view him more as a right guard. But after the first minicamp practice, Manu clarified that since he’s landed in Detroit, the conversation has exclusively been at tackle.
