Review of Lions Rookies




Here's a look at Detroit's other rookie draft choices beside Stafford:

With Aaron Brown, he could be the steal of the draft because of his game-breaking speed. He has the tools to be either a third-down back or a slot receiver, but he's got to do a better job of focusing and eliminating assignment mistakes.

He'll contribute on special teams -- and could be the team's kickoff returner -- but he'll be a role player on offense. The more he learns the playbook, the more time he'll see on the field.


And Derrick Williams hasn't showed much flash, either as a returner or a receiver. He'll make the team and he'll get his opportunities to make a contribution on special teams but, overall, he's a been something of a disappointment so far. Which is sad because I was looking for him to compliment Johnson.
