2017 Taste of Lions

Second year attending the Taste of Detroit fund raiser. It is my favorite event of the year.

My observations:

The second year players look completely different than last year.

Glascow, Zettel and Dahl looked very soft last year. Totally rocked up this year.

Cole Wick put on 15 pounds up to 270.

Antwione Williams is about 250.

A complete year in pro football makes a huge different.

CB Alex Carter is a really big guy. 6'2" 215. Looks more like a safety.

TE Darrin Fells is a monster. Looks like a NBA player.

I think Ledbetter and O'Connor have an up hill battle to make the team.


Met the following players:
Abbredaris, Abdullah, Bademosi, BArnes, Bellore, Billingsley, Bryant, Coarey, Chubb, Dahl, Davis, Diggs, Fells, Ford, Glascow, Hayden, Hill, James, Kaaya, Land, Lawrence, Lawson, Ledbetter, Lee, Longa, Lucas, Martin, Ngata, O'Connor, Reeves-Maybin, Roberts, Rudock, Spence, Swaim, Tabor, Thornton, Tonyan, Wagner, Washington, Wick, Williams, Wilson and Zettel
