Niyo: Ask, and you will receive: Lions’ Antwaan Randle El happy with his haul

Allen Park — Antwaan Randle El, the Detroit Lions’ receivers coach, doesn’t regret sharing his offseason wish list with his players this past winter.

He says his only mistake, in hindsight, was sharing it with the media, telling reporters at the Senior Bowl in early February exactly what he’d told those in his own meeting room. Everyone knew the Lions were looking to upgrade the receiver position entering 2022, but Randle El went ahead and spelled it out.

“I said, 'I’m trying to draft two and bring in one,' because it’s going to be some competition,” Randle El explained at the time.
