Sam LaPorta Returns to Lead Lions Offense | Detroit Lions News

Lions Rookie Watch: Who Will Shine? | Detroit Lions News

Detroit Lions training camp kicks off with rookies reporting Saturday and veterans following Tuesday, setting the stage for a thrilling preseason opener against the Bengals on August 13. While the new offense and key position battles steal the spotlight, the rookie class is loaded with talent—and they’re ready to make noise. Blake Miller, the first-round pick, is poised to anchor the offensive line with his four-year starting experience at Clemson, battling veteran Larry Borom for the right tackle spot. Derrick Moore, a second-round edge rusher from Michigan with 10 sacks last season, could outshine D.J. Wonnum opposite Aidan Hutchinson. On defense, Jimmy Rolder brings physicality and a chance to compete for the third linebacker spot, while fifth-round corner Keith Abney II might seize a starting role in the secondary. On the defensive line, Skyler Gill-Howard and Tyre West are fighting for roster spots—Gill-Howard with his pass-rushing upside and West with his versatility. And don’t overlook undrafted QB Luke Altmyer, whose mobility and improving arm could earn him a backup role behind Jared Goff. This roster has depth, potential, and plenty of battles to watch.
