Kelvin Sheppard took the podium Thursday morning prior to the Detroit Lions’ fourth training camp practice. As always, Sheppard was fantastic—both informative and entertaining. Now the team’s defensive coordinator, Sheppard will have weekly media sessions, and we’re lucky for it.
Thursday’s session was chock-full of information, so I opted to a write an entire recap on the press conference. Here are my seven biggest takeaways.
Terrion Arnold has taken “a huge leap”
Arnold has been a standout in training camp through four practices, and it’s clear Sheppard sees the same thing. The Lions defensive coordinator called the secondary the deepest room on the team, and pointed to Arnold’s Year 2 growth as a big reason for it.
