On Thursday, the Detroit Lions will wrap up their sixth and final Organized Team Activity (OTA) practice of the spring, and coach Dan Campbell addressed the media for the final time before training camp.

He will be sorely missed. One of my greatest memories I have of Frank was the Divisional (Championship playoff game) against Tampa Bay.
