Detroit Lions head coach Jim Schwartz said OT Riley Reiff must earn his playing time during the course of training camp and the preseason regardless of his draft status. ‘He brings a lot of credentials to the table,’ Schwartz said. ‘He’s smart, he’s big, he’s a hard worker. But where he plays and how soon he plays will depend on nothing but how he does over these 35 days of training camp, how he plays in these preseason games. It’s not going to be where we drafted him, how much money he makes, his signing bonus, or the color of his t-shirt. It’s going to be how he does in those practices.’
