Detroit's rookies got their first taste of NFL action during OTAs. The competition level will ramp up for them significantly come training camp, and they'll need to elevate their game accordingly.
Before that happens, let's take a look back at some interesting numbers and statistics for the Lions 2025 draft class of seven players and for some of the undrafted rookies.
0:Third-round wide receiverIsaac TeSlaahad zero drops in 100 targets the last two seasons at Arkansas.
1.62:10-yard split time (seconds) for first-round pickTyleik Williams, which is elite for a player who weighed 334 pounds. Williams made Bruce Feldman's Freak list in 2022 for his athleticism and quickness for a player his size.
2:Second-round pickTate Ratledgeallowed just two sacks in three seasons and 37 starts playing in the SEC at Georgia. The Lions plan to train Ratledge at both guard and center.
19.5:TeSlaa ranked fifth in the SEC and 13th in the FBS with a 19.5-yard average per reception last season. At 6-foot-4 and with 4.40 speed, the Lions hope TeSlaa can be someone who stretches the field for them along withJameson Williams.
27:Quarterback pressures generated by undrafted defensive lineman Keith Cooper in 2024, which led Houston last year.
50:Fifth-round pick Miles Frazier made 50 collegiate starts at Florida International and LSU. Frazier played a total of 3,283 offensive snaps during his college career with 2,509 coming at LSU.
55-7:The school record in the shot-put (feet, inches) set by Ratledge at Darlington High School, which he still holds.
56.3:Passer rating for opposing quarterbacks when targeting seventh-round pick Dan Jackson last year. The Lions new safety did not allow a single touchdown in his coverage area.
59:Seventh-round pick Dominic Lovett led the Georgia Bulldogs with 59 receptions this past season.
62:Sixth-round pickAhmed Hassaneinracked up 62 quarterback pressures last season at Boise State. That ranked first in the Mountain West Conference and fifth nationally. His 17 quarterback hits were also tops in the MWC and third nationally.
75:Undrafted wide receiver Jakobie Keeney-James led UMass with 50 receptions for 839 yards and six touchdowns last season. His longest reception on the season was a 75-yard touchdown against Georgia.
88.6:Williams' run defense grade from Pro Football Focus in 2024, good for eighth best among all FBS interior defenders.
