The Detroit Lions Podcast pulled out a rare midday Friday recording this week. Lions OTAs and a big-name receiver suddenly coming available forced a worthy schedule change.
Thursday’s OTA session in Allen Park is a big focal point. We discuss the press conferences from head coach Dan Campbell, defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn and special teams coach Dave Fipp and what they said.
The on-firld action is limited by CBA rules, but there were still some players to talk about. There’s a good discourse on Jameson Williams and his trouble catching the ball on Thursday, and why it’s not anything to be too concerned about.
The elephant in the podcast room is wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins. The Cardinals released the All-Pro, meaning the Lions could sign him. We break down the pros and cons, including the costs and roster impact.
