Like the air after a thunderstorm, the atmosphere surrounding Allen Park felt clean and fresh following a change in regime for the Detroit Lions. Yes, it’s only the first day the media has been let in to observe football activities in 2021, but the changes were noticeable and plenty.
The first notable change was that the media was allowed on the premises to observe. This opportunity was phased out during the Bob Quinn/Matt Patricia era. Coach Dan Campbell not only welcomed the media in, but he laid out the format for the day: Walkthroughs, individual drills, special teams drills, and wrapping up the day with 7 on 7’s.
