The Detroit Lions have solidified their workout schedule, with the team’s new rookies taking a big step towards their NFL debuts.

Lions rookies will be reporting to the team’s weekend rookie minicamp from May 9-11 at the facility in Allen Park. The league reported that teams may conduct a three-day rookie minicamp on either the first or second weekend after the NFL draft, and the Lions are holding it on the second weekend.

The rookies report nearly three weeks before the team’s veterans report for their first OTA offseason workout from May 28-30.

The Lions drafted seven players who should all figure into the team’s offseason plans. Additionally, the team has made 11 undrafted signings, a list that could grow in the upcoming days.

The Lions took Ohio State defensive tackle Tyleik Williams with the No. 28 overall pick in the draft. Their second-round pick was Georgia offensive guard Tate Ratledge, while their third-round pick was Arkansas wide receiver (and native Michigander) Isaac TeSlaa.
