The Detroit Lions opened scoring against the Indianapolis Colts early in the first quarter after Jake Rudock connected with rookie Kenny Golladay for a 23-yard score.

Golladay has been the hype of training camp, and he looks to be continuing the legend into the preseason. This catch is especially impressive since it appears he’s dealt with a good amount of contact before the ball even got there.
Golladay, the Lions’ third-round draft pick, is in competition to become the Lions’ No. 3 receiver. TJ Jones got the start with the first-team offense on Sunday and picked up a big 22-yard catch from Matthew Stafford.
However, Golladay responded with an impressive drive of his own. In addition to the first touchdown of the game, Golladay snagged 15-yard catch from Rudock.
The competition at wide receiver is far from over, but the Golladay hype appears to be more than practice fodder.
UPDATE:
He did it again.
