Notes: Watch Lions’ Charles Harris, Jonah Jackson mic’d during Colts joint practices

On Thursday, the Detroit Lions’ official YouTube channel posted a video from the joint practice sessions with the Indianapolis Colts. As both Charles Harris and Jonah Jackson point out at the beginning of the video, they are mic’d up for the Lions media folks and not Hard Knocks, so this is new material exclusive to the team. Also appearing alongside the two players are head coach Dan Campbell, offensive line coach Hank Fraley, defensive line coach Todd Wash, Tracy Walker, and master fisherman Frank Ragnow.

The six-minute video has a couple of fun moments in it. We get to see Ragnow try to get in some promotional recording for Grizzly Man Outdoors and then joke around with Jackson. Several times in the video, Jackson is caught being quite a pleasant and polite fellow, which is pretty amusing. Harris professes his status as the best hype man to Aidan Hutchinson. and shows a ton of energy throughout the reps on camera.

The video finishes with after-practice motivational speeches. Both Wash and Fraley are on there to give feedback to their units, praising them for competing hard. Then coach Dan Campbell exhorts the team to continue to maintain their intensity before handing it over to Walker to close it out. I

t’s a fun watch that doesn’t take too long, so give it a look.
