On Friday, the 2025 Detroit Lions rookie class took the field for the first of three rookie minicamp practices. That’s the only practice we’ll get to see from a media standpoint, so that will be our lasting impression of this rookie class until they take the field with the veterans during Organized Team Activities at the end of the month.

The Detroit Lions feature a few players on the active roster and in rookie camp who played college football at Division II programs in Michigan.

Detroit’s newest defensive lineman is learning the playbook, navigating minicamp and soaking in some unexpected celebrity attention.
