Detroit Lions assistant general manager Ray Agnew held a news conference on Friday to kick off rookie minicamp and discuss some of the young players the team brought in this season.

"This is one of the most exciting days for me, man," Agnew said. "Just seeing the joy on those kids' faces."

One of the more popular storylines coming into this minicamp is that of 6th-round defensive lineman Ahmed Hassanein. The first-ever Egyptian to be drafted, Hassanein is the only edge rusher the Lions drafted at a position of significant need.

Agnew shared his modest expectations for Hassanein ahead of Friday's camp.
