Man of many interests: USC wide receiver Ja’Kobi Lane (6-4, 196) was a kid of many interests, thanks to his mother. He said Friday his mom had him in ballet, gymnastics, swimming, lacrosse, basketball and football growing up.<\/p>\n
“Just being able to grow, not only as an athlete, but as a person having all those different backgrounds,” he said. “I think being able to get that side of athleticism at a young age (speaking of ballet), be light on my feet, but at the same time, be able to move is a huge thing.”<\/p>\n
Moving up draft boards: Pittsburgh linebacker Kyle Louis is an interesting prospect here in Indianapolis. The 6-foot, 220-pound linebacker showed off terrific explosive traits (39.5 inches in vertical ; 10-foot-9 broad jump) and ran the 40 in 4.57 seconds. He seems like a hybrid linebacker\/safety prospect a creative defensive coordinator could have fun moving around from a weak side linebacker role or as a box safety.<\/p>\n
WR class: This draft is particularly strong at edge rusher and wide receiver. The former could certainly be in Detroit’s plans as they’re on the lookout for a consistent and productive running mate opposite Aidan Hutchinson<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Lions return their top three wide receivers \u2013 St. Brown, Jameson Williams<\/a> and Isaac TeSlaa<\/a> \u2013 but reliable veteran receiver and returner Kalif Raymond is headed toward free agency. He certainly could be a player the Lions look to re-sign but could Dominic Lovett potentially fill the role? When it comes to the Lions’ potential interest in a receiver in the draft, look at players with late-round grades who have a history of consistent production and return ability as players who could fit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Man of many interests: USC wide receiver Ja’Kobi Lane (6-4, 196) was a kid of many interests, thanks…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":780583,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2071],"tags":[1817,4566,146,113,2506,7,416,1674,147,5515,415,6],"class_list":{"0":"post-780582","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-detroit-lions","8":"tag-aidan-hutchinson","9":"tag-amon-ra-st-brown","10":"tag-detroit","11":"tag-detroit-lions","12":"tag-detroitlions","13":"tag-football","14":"tag-homepage-centerpiece-package","15":"tag-jahmyr-gibbs","16":"tag-lions","17":"tag-news-road-to-the-draft-yoy","18":"tag-news-twentyman","19":"tag-nfl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116144414077703513","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/780582","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=780582"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/780582\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/780583"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=780582"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=780582"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=780582"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
