The Detroit Lions are entering Year 2 of Dan Campbell era, and according to the head coach, they’re entering it a bit wiser. At this time last year, the team was still feeling each other out, implementing a new scheme and culture, and teaching fundimentals. Now, with culture and expectations set, Lions players have graduated to a new level of learning.
“There’s things that are being taught now that are just—we’re just at a different level,” Campbell said prior to Tuesday’s mandatory minicamp practice. “We are. We’re at a higher level right now. We’re kind of beyond some of more remedial things that we had to do last year, because we had just come in, it was a new system, it was new everything.
