During NFL training camp, teams tend to have some fun by requiring rookies to perform skits in front of them, like when Aidan Hutchinson sang “Billie Jean” for the entire Lions team. However, before Dan Campbell arrived in Detroit, this custom wasn’t as popular.
On the Stoney & Jansen Show on 97.1 the Ticket, Lions safety Tracy Walker said when he was a rookie in 2018, then-head coach Matt Patricia wasn’t as welcoming to his rookie skit.
“I had to do three skits. My first skit, we clowned on the coaches and they didn’t like that very much,” Walker said, via Audacy.
