If Dan Campbell is being honest, the Detroit Lions are not exactly where he thought they would be when he was named head coach in January.
"We thought we were going to get extra time being a new staff," Campbell said Thursday. "We were going to have an extra vet minicamp, we would be going full-team segments and all of that. So it’s not what I expected from that regard, but I can tell you this, it’s been great to have these guys here."
The Lions wrapped up minicamp Thursday with a spirited workout that lasted just over an hour and when they return for training camp in July, Campbell said they will be three to four weeks ahead of where they would have been had they lost the entire offseason to COVID-19.
