OTA’s kicked off in Allen Park today and Detroit Lions fans have a lot to look forward too next season. The Lions are welcoming in a lot of new faces and this is the first time they can get together for organized practices. Even though the players are in shorts, this is still a vital part of the offseason. It gives you the time to work out the kinks from last year and prepare for the season ahead.
