ALLEN PARK -- The Detroit Lions opened <a href="http://www.billsonlineofficial.com/shop-by-players-kyle-williams-jersey-c-1_29.html">http://www.billsonlineofficial.com/shop-by-players-kyle-williams-jersey-c-1_29.html</a> another OTA session to reporters. Here are some observations from Wednesday's practice in a sun-splashed but gusty Allen Park.

-- For the second straight week, no rookie caught my eye more than Kenny Golladay. I didn't think Detroit was all that sharp during red zone drills, but Golladay consistently came up with the ball, including once on a one-handed grab in the corner of the end zone -- and he did it through pass interference from Johnson Bademosi. Oh, and for the second straight week, I did not see him put the ball on the ground.

-- Jake Rudock talked last week about how he feels he has a little more pepper on his throws after spending a season in the team's strength program. On Wednesday, we saw what he was talking about when he zipped a TD pass to Golladay during red-zone drills. It wasn't exactly Stafford-esque, but the thing was <a href="http://www.cheappatriotssale.com/shop-by-players-devin-mccourty-jersey-c-1_15.html">http://www.cheappatriotssale.com/shop-by-players-devin-mccourty-jersey-c-1_15.html</a> on a rope, and wouldn't have been gotten through the teeth of the defense otherwise.  

-- One more note on the receivers: Jim Caldwell mentioned Ryan Spadola's name during rookie minicamp. That's not exactly out of the ordinary -- ask about who looks good at a position, and he's more likely than not to run through every name there. He doesn't like to publicly pick favorites. But then Spadola made a couple nice catches last week, then burned Des Lawrence for another bomb this week. That's a crowded room, so I have no idea what his chances are for making the team. But he's definitely not hurting himself during OTAs, that's for sure.

-- Rookie corner Jamal Agnew returned to practice after missing last week's session that was open to reporters. He's got a lot of competition to contribute on defense this year -- he's pigeon-holed as a nickel, where Quandre Diggs and D.J. Hayden also play -- but could be in the competition to replace Andre Roberts at return man. Agnew was among a group of players shagging kicks Wednesday, along <a href="http://www.dolphinsjerseyofficial.com/shop-by-players-24-isa-abdulquddus-jersey-c-1_11.html">Isa Abdul-Quddus Kids Jersey</a> with TJ Jones, Jace Billingsley and Dwayne Washington.

- With Ezekiel Ansah out, Anthony Zettel and Cornelius Washington both got in some first-team work at defensive end. Kerry Hyder was the other end, with A'Shawn Robinson and Akeem Spence on the inside.

-- Rookie corner Teez Tabor was much more active this week than last week, including participating in some team drills. He repped mostly with Johnson Bademosi on the second team.

-- Theo Riddick was held out again, but he was getting in some sprints on the side with a trainer. He declined to provide specifics about his recovery after practice -- with Riley Reiff out, Riddick just might be the player who says the least to reporters -- but that sidework is always a good indication that a player is nearing a return. Given that it's still only May, there's no reason to fret about his status heading into the season.

-- Darren Fells is the new blocking tight end, but Caldwell has mentioned a couple times he thinks Fells has the versatility to contribute in the passing game. He dropped a would-be touchdown pass Wednesday, though, with the ball glancing off both hands in the right corner of the end zone. It wasn't the sharpest day for <a href="http://www.billsshopofficial.com/shop-by-players-cyrus-kouandjio-jersey-c-1_16.html">Cyrus Kouandjio Jersey</a> the tight ends overall, with Eric Ebron dropping another pass, and this time, Michael Roberts too.
