When NFL training camps kick off, everything is under the microscope, and that is especially true for the Detroit Lions as just about everyone wants to know if this team is as real as predictions expect it to be.

Though there are always a few unfortunate tales of players on the bubble who struggle to get over the hump, plenty of attention is given to rising stars who are certainly primed for a major season given their performance in camp.
