5 standouts from Detroit Lions minicamp, Day 1
A look at five players who stood out from Tuesday’s practice.www.prideofdetroit.com
Julian Okwara
During those one-on-ones between linebackers and tight ends, Julian Okwara was a surprise standout. He looked like a natural backpedaling and cleanly broke up a pass. He was one of the few defenders during the five-minute session to get his hands on a ball.
Okwara won’t be asked to drop into coverage all that much in this defense, but it’s nice to see he has the athletic traits to potentially do it if called upon.
