Detroit Lions mandatory minicamp Biggest standouts from Day 1

The began the mandatory portion of their offseason program on Tuesday, when the team took the field for the first se sion of minicamp. Detroit will have two more se sions of on Wednesday and Thursday.Overall, it was a better day for the defense as the unit managed to notch a total of four interceptions during team drills, two of which came from one player (more on that shortly).However, despite the standout day from the defensive side of the ball, there were some players on offense who did their thing. Unfortunately, none of them play quarterback, a position that had a rough go of it on Tuesday.All that said, let's dive into the specifics and see Clay Buchholz Jersey which players drew the most attention from beat writers on the ground.Lions standouts from minicamp Day 1LB Jack CampbellCampbell had a pair of interceptions on Tuesday, with one coming off a tipped pa s in the two-minute drill portion of practice. The other saw him drop back into coverage and undercut a pa s to Amon-Ra St. Brown Didi Gregorius Jersey in the red-zone period, per .But Campbell wasn't done there. The second-year linebacker also made a few nice plays earlier in practice, according to :Earlier in practice, Campbell also showed nice anticipation, (lightly) colliding with LaPorta on a grab during a third-and-22 situational drill. The Lions tight end was stopped 13 yards shortforcing a puntand its po sible he wouldve jarred the ball loose if at full speed because he arrived just as the ball was getting there. He also notched a pre sure/sack in an earlier drill.Reisman noted that Campbell "got most of the first-team reps at the MIKE position" and the majority of Derrick Barnes' first-team reps came "mostly in three linebacker sets."It would appear Campbell will be the starter next to Alex Anzalone when the Lions roll with two linebackers.MORE: S Brandon JosephAfter head coach Dan Campbell praised Joseph for the progre s he's made since last year, Joseph went on to notch an interception during an 11-on-11 red-zone drill, where Goff stared down St. Brown before throwing it right to Joseph.Campbell says Brandon Joseph noticeably improved during the 2023 season. Says they wish he would have got to play. Says he's continued to improve this spring Mike Payton (@AtoZ_Payton) But, as you'd expect with a young player, it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows for him. Joseph was beaten for a touchdown on a pa s to Kalif Raymond after he attempted to jump a route.Even still, Joseph has been getting runwith the first-team offense with Kerby Joseph sidelined and appears to be in great position to make the roster.DL Levi OnwuzurikeOnwuzurike' Juan Samuel Jersey s impact was felt early in practice, per Reisman, who noted that the veteran defensive lineman notched a pair of sacks/pre sures. After injury i sues and a lack of production over his first three years, the Washington product must continue to show out this offseason in order to make the roster and secure a role.WR Kalif RaymondRaymond shined during the red-zone portion of practice, with the veteran wideout tallying a total of three touchdown catches, with two from Jared Goff and one from Hendon Hooker, according to . Raymond is battling for the No. 3 spot, a role he figures to be the favorite for.RB Sione VakiVaki has been getting rave reviews as a pa s-catcher this offseason. He had a pair of touchdown catches on Tuesday, one of which he had Larry Bowa Jersey to dive for, Twentyman wrote. He also added that Vaki has shown "playmaking potential" and "great hands," and he wasn't the only beat writer raving about the rookie.Perhaps the Utah product can challenge for the No. 3 spot in his first season, but either way, he's appears to be off to a good start, at least as a pa s-catcher.WR Kaden DavisDavis is fighting to earn a roster spot this offseason, and he certainly seemed to help his cause on Tuesday. Davis had a pair of touchdown catches from Nate Sudfeld, including a toe-tapping grab.CB Carlton DavisRogers Scott Kingery Jersey noted how Davis "wasn't deterred by the fact the team wasn't wearing pads, playing physical and aggre sive at the line of scrimmage, regularly disrupting the timing of his coverage a signments."WR Amon-Ra St. BrownDeath, taxes and St. Brown standing out in practice. He had a pair of touchdowns during the red-zone drill, one of which saw him find a soft spot in the zone coverage. Get ready for another big year from the star receiver.
