Detroit Lions Training Camp: Rookies’ Grueling Conditioning Test
Detroit Lions rookies kicked off their 2024 training camp on Saturday with a tough conditioning test. The test, a requirement before participating in practice, underscored the team’s serious preparation for the upcoming season. Cornerback Terrion Arnold quickly learned the severity of the challenge, expressing his experience in a TikTok video. "That conditioning test was no joke," he emphasized, highlighting the Lions’ determination to contend for a Super Bowl this year.
Among the feedback from other players, Kerby Joseph candidly remarked, “12 per hour is tougher,” while Hendon Hooker dismissed the difficulty with, “It’s cake.” Ennis Rakestraw Jr. simply responded with, “Ooh wee.” These reactions underscore the varied personal experiences of the test, reflecting the different physical prep levels among the players.
Veterans will report on Tuesday, and Wednesday will see the first full-team practice. Observations from these sessions will determine player readiness, with some possibly starting on the Physically Unable to Perform or Non-Football Injury list. Meanwhile, Arnold’s TikTok updates promise an engaging inside look at training camp for fans.
