Along with Reiff and Green

Here are a few observations from Detroit's first minicamp session:
-- Lions WR Titus Young caught a short touchdown pass with cornerback Aaron Berry defending him. Both players jumped, but Young had perfect position in front of Berry, and the receiver ended up with the ball. Young responded by spiking the football.
-- After giving up a touchdown, Berry grabbed an interception during team drills (he was not defending Young). Berry responded by punting the football.
-- Lions rookie Riley Reiff took plenty of second team reps at left tackle during Tuesday's practice. He also received extended playing time with the third team. Reiff continues to show his quick footwork and blocking potential.
-- Lions rookie Ronnell Lewis is primarily playing defensive end and not linebacker in Detroit. He said the transition has not been that difficult.
-- Receiver Stefan Logan is also getting limited reps at running back. The Lions appear ready to expand his role on Sundays.
-- Young and rookie receiver Patrick Edwards are possible kick return candidates. Young is usually the first player back returning kickoffs, while Edwards is also contributing.
-- Rookie receiver Ryan Broyles was limited in practice once again. Broyles participated in individual drills, but was not involved in offense vs. defense activities. The goal remains to have him ready for training camp.
-- Lions rookie cornerback Jonte Green is receiving a lot of work with the second team. He is arguably the team's biggest surprise this offseason. Bill Bentley grabbed an interception during practice, and both players played well on Tuesday.
-- Lions rookie Tahir Whitehead was very impressive during practice. He ran with the second team, but has tremendous speed and strength. It will be interesting to watch how he reacts when hitting is allowing during training camp.
-- Defensive end Lawrence Jackson may have recorded a few sacks if Tuesday's practice was at full speed.
-- Lions tight end Tony Scheffler is quietly having a very strong offseason. Scheffler's hands have been solid, and he actually appears to be quicker than last season.
