The Detroit Lions wrapped Week 1 of Organized Team Activities just before the long holiday weekend, and it concluded with their first practice in front of the media.
Any time we talk OTAs, it must be prefaced with the buzzkill disclaimer that this is May football, the pads aren’t on, and practice is mostly about mental development more than anything else.

Having witnessed the actual practice, I certainly did come away with first impressions about both the overall teams and the individual players.
