There was real football going on at Detroit Lions headquarters in Allen Park on Friday. For the first time in months, players took to the practice field and worked with the new coaching staff in the first day of the Lions’ rookie minicamp.
It was the first opportunity to see the 2021 NFL draft class assembled by GM Brad Holmes and head coach Dan Campbell. And minus first-rounder Penei Sewell, who is missing the minicamp weekend after testing positive for COVID-19, the entire class was present and out working on the sunny practice fields.
The Lions graciously posted some highlights and clips on their Instagram page. Fans looking to see what the new players look like in their new uniforms, this is for you.

Several of the rookies themselves quickly commented on the post, showing their thrill of being in Detroit.
