The 2013 NFL Draft begins three weeks from Thursday. It's hard to believe it's almost here, but we're quickly closing in on it, as evidenced by all of the pre-draft visit news there's been as of late involving the Detroit Lions. As they start to wrap up their evaluations and get ready to establish their draft board, the Lions are bringing in players for a closer look.
So far, the Lions haven't even come close to using their 30 allotted visits. However, they are starting to get things going on the pre-draft visit front. In order to keep tabs on who has already visited and who is set to visit in the future, take a look at our pre-draft visit tracker, which will be updated as new news comes in.
