Video: Breaking down the Lions WR room entering training camp

[DSF]

The latest in the series of Lions positional breakdowns from the Detroit Lions Podcast is now available. In this episode, the focus turns to the wide receiver room.

The Lions enter training camp with 12 receivers on the 90-man roster, and the top three spots are pretty well established. It all starts with All-Pro Amon-Ra St. Brown, who is the focal point of the passing offense. Jameson Williams is being relied upon to make a big jump in his third year, while Kalif Raymond continues to fly under the radar despite some impressive production in his three years in Detroit.

After that, Detroit has one of the bigger camp battles set to fill the final two or three spots and a lot of divergent styles of players looking to earn those roles. Who will emerge from a group that includes Donovan Peoples-Jones, Daurice Fountain, Tom Kennedy, Antoine Green and others? How much does special teams play factor in?


All that gets broken down in this solo video. An audio-only version will be available from your favorite podcast provider, too.
