There will be plenty of storylines to follow as we (hopefully) get updates from Allen Park throughout the weekend. There’s a handful of undrafted free agents (UDFAs) to follow, some tryouts to keep an eye on, and, of course
Tracy Walker Jersey , there’s the Lions 2019 NFL Draft class to follow.So today’s Question of the Day is:Which Lions rookie are you most excited to hear about at rookie minicamp this week? My answer: It has to be Lions second-round pick Jahlani Tavai. While we won’t be able to get a good idea of just how good the Hawaii linebacker is based on a few practices with fellow rookies, I am very interested in what the team’s expectation for him is. Will he be a middle linebacker? Will he be an edge defender? Hawaii used Tavai all over the place, and maybe that’s the Lions’ plan for him, too. Either way
Kerryon Johnson Jersey , I want to see where Tavai lines up this weekend, and I’d love to hear reports that he stuck out among his fellow rookies.Other players I’m interested in hearing about include UDFA guard Beau Benzschawel, sixth-round running back Ty Johnson, and fourth-round pick Austin Bryant.

Frank Ragnow Jersey , Mich. (AP) — Darrell Bevell and Matt Patricia crossed paths in one of the most famous plays in Super Bowl history.Now, they’ll coach on the same staff.The Lions hired Bevell as their new offensive coordinator in a move Detroit hopes will help the team rebound after a disappointing year. Bevell spent seven seasons as Seattle’s offensive coordinator from 2011-17 and was part of a Super Bowl winner with the Seahawks. Prior to joining the Seahawks, he was Minnesota’s offensive coordinator for five seasons and a quarterbacks coach for Green Bay.Although Bevell was part of a victory in the Super Bowl after the 2013 season, he also infamously called for a pass at the 1-yard line in the final minute of the following year’s Super Bowl. Malcolm Butler of New England intercepted it
Marvin Jones Jersey , costing Seattle a chance at a second straight title.Patricia, who was the defensive coordinator for the Patriots in that game, is now Detroit’s head coach.The Lions went 6-10 this season, their first under Patricia
Darius Slay Jersey , and they decided not to renew offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter’s contract. Cooter was a holdover from Jim Caldwell’s staff.Only two teams in the NFC scored fewer points than Detroit’s 324 this season. Quarterback Matthew Stafford fell short of 4,000 yards passing for the first time since his injury-filled 2010 campaign.Bevell was fired by Seattle in a coaching shakeup following the 2017 season, after the Seahawks went 9-7 and missed the playoffs.
