Why Detroit Lions interim coach Darrell Bevell's first practice had 'buzz'

As they waited to return punts Wednesday, Mohamed Sanu and Marvin Hall danced in the end zone while “No Sucker” by Lil Baby and Moneybagg Yo played in the background.

Some 50 or so yards away, Darrell Bevell, in a black winter coat, black athletic pants and a blue Detroit Lions baseball cap, surveyed his special teams while fiddling with the white piece of paper in his hands.

The Lions held their first practice of the post-Matt Patricia era Wednesday, and it had a different look, sound and feel to it.

Music blared throughout the open portion of practice, which started with 10 minutes of stretching and lasted through a long, 20-minute special teams period.
