The first big roar from the crowd during Monday’s training camp practice came from an unlikely source. During one-on-one red zone drills, Detroit Lions undrafted rookie wide receiver Dylan Drummond had starting safety Tracy Walker so twisted up that it was an easy score for him. Minutes later, the two lined up again and Drummond again bested the veteran defensive back.
Thus began a strong week for Drummond. On Wednesday, he was backup quarterback Nate Sudfeld’s favorite target during seven-on-sevens. In a stretch of four plays, Sudfeld connected with Drummond on three of them. During full team drills, he beat impressive rookie cornerback Starling Thomas V on an out route and turned it up field for a big gain.
