QBs:
Matthew Stafford seems to be getting sharper by the day: http://www.mlive.com/lions/index.ssf/2014/07/detroit_lions_training_camp_no_20.html
RBs:
Bush made a play in 11-on-11 and then made a nasty cut on linebacker Tahir Whitehead for what would have been a large gain if the team was in full pads and tackling: http://espn.go.com/blog/detroit-lions/post/_/id/9438/lions-camp-report-day-3?ex_cid=espnapi_public
LeShoure had a good practice. Leshoure looks fluid with good burst. It's tough to evaluate running backs at this stage, but he is hitting holes with authority and getting to the second level a half-step faster than I remember him doing last offseason, possibly just because he's not hesitating in the backfield: http://www.mlive.com/lions/index.ssf/2014/07/detroit_lions_training_camp_no_20.html
WRs:
Golden Tate caught a beautiful pass from Matthew Stafford between two defenders and ran upfield untouched in a 7 - on - 7 drill. When he reached the red zone with defenders chasing him, Tate cut back to the other side, showing his knack for the big play: http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20140730/SPORTS0101/307300135/0/sports0101/Lions-camp-observations-Kickers-pound-uprights-competition-intensifies
Kevin Ogletree continues to get first-team reps at wide receiver in three-receiver sets: http://www.freep.com/article/20140730/SPORTS01/307300226/detroit-lions-training-camp-notes-wayne-state
Ross had an impressive one-handed catch during skeleton drills that would have been a difficult touchdown: http://espn.go.com/blog/detroit-lions/post/_/id/9438/lions-camp-report-day-3
Durham has been steady, but Ogletree and Ross have had more highlights: https://twitter.com/jkatzenstein/statuses/494640954427838465
Corey Fuller lit up the Wayne State crowd when he went up and over
TEs:
Eric Ebron has caught some grief for early-camp drops, but he made a couple nice catches tonight. His best grab came in seven-on-sevens, when he contorted his body to haul in a Kellen Moore pass on his back hip while Julian Stanford trailed in coverage: http://www.freep.com/article/20140730/SPORTS01/307300226/detroit-lions-training-camp-notes-wayne-state
Ebron had another drop. This play was a little bit more difficult than a garden variety play, as he had to turn around to make the catch. But the pass hit Ebron squarely in the hands on a deep route along the sideline with DeJon Gomes in coverage and it is a play Ebron would be expected to make in a game during the season. For as many good plays and highlight reel plays Ebron has the capability of making, seeing him drop routine-or-close-to-it passes should be a concern even if it is early in camp: http://espn.go.com/blog/detroit-lions/post/_/id/9438/lions-camp-report-day-3?ex_cid=espnapi_public
Not sure if it's his routes, or just poor throws, but several passes were just a little bit off target to rookie tight end Eric Ebron: http://www.mlive.com/lions/index.ssf/2014/07/detroit_lions_training_camp_no_20.html
Fauria had a good practice. Fauria hauled in several receptions, none more impressive than a short touchdown grab in the middle of the field, which required the lanky tight end to fully extend away from his body: http://www.mlive.com/lions/index.ssf/2014/07/detroit_lions_training_camp_no_20.html

George Johnson continued to earn first-team reps and burst through the line on an 11-on-11 play that would’ve resulted in a tackle for loss: http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20140730/SPORTS0101/307300135/0/sports0101/Lions-camp-observations-Kickers-pound-uprights-competition-intensifies
Darryl Tapp got a little bit of work with the first-team at left defensive end: http://www.freep.com/article/20140730/SPORTS01/307300226/detroit-lions-training-camp-notes-wayne-state

Mohammed Seisay had a big hit on Jacob Maxwell after the tight end turned upfield on a short swing pass to the right flat: http://www.mlive.com/lions/index.ssf/2014/07/detroit_lions_training_camp_no_20.html
