History says slow down expectations on Kenny Golladay this year

Related Topics: Brandon Rideau, Rookie

From the first practice, Detroit Lions rookie Kenny Golladay has received attention. Receivers, particularly big ones with interesting storylines, usually do. That Golladay backed up the initial questions about him with good play after good play during workouts and the early part of training camp added intrigue.

Then the first preseason game arrived, and Golladay was dominant. He had three catches for 53 yards -- all of them contested, all of them difficult, two of them for touchdowns. One in particular, a jumping catch where he was hit in the head in the end zone and still held on to the ball, was impressive.
