ALLEN PARK, Mich. — They’re all out there now. All eight of them.
And amid the growing hoopla about the Lions’ second-half turnaround this season, which figures to reach a fever pitch this Sunday when they host the NFC North-leading Minnesota Vikings at Ford Field, there’s also that storyline that shouldn’t be ignored.
The Lions’ entire rookie class was in uniform Sunday — including first-round pick Jameson Williams, who made his much-anticipated debut coming off January’s ACL injury — for a blowout win at home over Jacksonville. What’s more, those rookies once again made their presence felt, continuing a season-long trend that should give fans more confidence about the future and Detroit's draft-and-develop approach under general manager Brad Holmes and head coach Dan Campbell.
