The Detroit Lions held a scrimmage-like practice on Friday, their fourth straight day in pads.<\/p>\n
One of the neat things about these scrimmages is that they\u2019ll often have the first-team offense go against the second-team defense, giving some depth players an opportunity to go against starting-level talent. It\u2019s a huge opportunity for some players further on the depth chart, and undrafted rookie linebacker Erick Hunter was one of a few on Friday who took full advantage.<\/p>\n
