On Friday afternoon, Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell met the media at the Meijer Performance Center on the third day of OTAs.
Asked if there’s been any new faces that have stuck out so far, Campbell wasn’t ready to start raving about anybody in particular.
“There’s been a lot of guys that have done really well for two days in pajamas, and then there’s some that are learning through it. They’re working through it, they’re learning. But, there again, I’m done with the hype of the pajama party in May,” Campbell said.
But, Campbell is excited about the competition his group will have and about the work his group has gotten in thus far.
“So, man, it’s about the mental. It’s about the movement skills. All that other stuff doesn’t matter. And then we’ll find out in training camp who’s who. This will be the most competition we’ve had, in my opinion. I think top-tier competition. I mean, this will be good. This is gonna be good across the board.”
“Now, it’s just, let’s get acclimated. We want to hit the ground running when we get to late July, August. That’s what we want, so that’s really what this time is about,” Campbell said.
With three days of OTAs completed, there will be much more to discuss regarding the team’s offseason preparations for the 2026-27 campaign as the season inches closer with each passing day.
