Last week, after taking part in the Detroit Lions' "rookie training week," the team's draft picks headed to Ohio for the NFL Rookie Symposium. Throughout the event, there were various tweets about the Lions' draft picks, and below is a recap of them.
First things first, take note of the shirts the players wore to the event:

They also got a chance to meet with some notable former players and hang out with military families:

Finally, I'll let running back Ameer Abdullah sum up "rookie training week" for the Lions:
It's been a powerful and eye opening week. Knowledge truly is power. So thankful for this opportunity. #WROH
