2023 Detroit Lions rookie minicamp observations: Sam LaPorta puts on a show

The Detroit Lions are in the middle of their 2023 rookie minicamp, and on Saturday, they opened their practice facility doors to the media.

In addition to the eight players selected as part of the 2023 Draft class, the Lions also had their 15 undrafted free agents on the field, 10 players trying out for a spot on the roster, and three 2022 rookies who qualified to attend based on lack of playing time last season—including OL Obinna Eze, OL Darrin Paulo, and TE Derrick Deese Jr.

Unfortunately, there were four players unable to practice due to injuries, with the only significant injury being to quarterback Hendon Hooker, who is recovering from ACL surgery.
