There was a prevailing theme between the two Detroit Lions wide receivers who spoke to the media on Wednesday. It was a word not spoken much in reference to the Lions passing attack in 2021.
Excitement.
Yet both Amon-Ra St. Brown and DJ Chark showed genuine excitement at the prospects of what the Detroit aerial attack can do in 2022. Chark joined from the Jaguars, while the team added Alabama speedster Jameson Williams with the No. 12 overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft. Steady vet Josh Reynolds returns after a promising finish to last season, too. With Pro Bowl TE T.J. Hockenson back and healthy, it’s easy to see why the optimism is flowing.
