Lions Rookie Cornerback Amari Spievey Is Being Schooled On Defense
He knew it didn't look good. Lions cornerback Amari Spievey, a third-round pick out of Iowa, had gone one-on-one against wide receiver Contrevious Parks, an undrafted rookie free agent out of Stephen F. Austin. While the secondary was watching for short stuff, Parks sped past and caught a pass.
"I did get beat today, in the off-coverage," Spievey said last Thursday. "In Iowa, I didn't play a lot of off-coverage, but I've got to work on that. That kind of woke me up."
