The Detroit Lions had a pretty solid showing from the 2021 rookie class. The group played more snaps than rookies on any other team and had several players who quickly proved to be pretty strong NFL talents. But the Lions need even more from those players as they enter their second NFL training camp.
Head coach Dan Campbell made that abundantly clear in his media session prior to Wednesday’s first practice at team headquarters in Allen Park. When asked if he was excited to see the second-year jump from a lot of players, Campbell turned the answer into a demand from the 2021 rookies.
“We’re counting on it, we’ve got to have it,” Campbell stated. “I mean, if they don’t make a jump, we’re in trouble.”
