- Detroit Lions president Rod Wood spoke to members of the media during Wednesday’s Taste of the Lions event, and gave an update on Detroit’s plans for their new uniforms.

- Lions third-round pick Kenny Golladay is getting some national love on Twitter:
Golladay checks boxes. Production, athleticism, size. PFF charted with only 5 drops on 165 career targets. Had 5 diff starting QBs at NIU.
