Matt Patricia strongly denied a radio report Monday that division marred the Detroit Lions' decision to take Jeff Okudah with the No. 3 pick in April's draft, and that general manager Bob Quinn went against the wishes of his head coach and personnel staff in doing so.
"Obviously, we usually don’t talk about any of that stuff," Patricia said. "We like to keep that stuff internal. But since that is so blatantly not even close to true, I would like just to make sure that, that is not a true statement at all.
