One of the fun things about OTAs is that it’s a chance to see many players in person for the first time since the season ended. When players look a little different, it’s definitely noticeable.

He’s clearly been in the weight room working on getting bulkier to handle more of the pounding in the NFL. That’s smart for a guy who has missed at least three games in each of his first two seasons in Detroit.
