With all eyes on the Detroit Lions’ quarterback room this training camp, Kyle Allen isn’t trying to make waves — he’s just sticking to the basics.
As the veteran signal-caller competes for the backup role behind Jared Goff, Allen has made his approach clear: “Keep it simple.” In a room full of varying experience and skill sets, Allen is leaning on what’s worked for him throughout his NFL journey — preparation, execution, and consistency.
Rather than overcomplicating things in camp, he’s focusing on clean reads, quick decisions, and efficient play. It’s a mindset that resonates with the Lions’ system and coaching philosophy — avoid unnecessary risk, keep the chains moving, and be ready if called upon.
While others may be trying to flash for attention in the competition, Allen is banking on steady performance and veteran poise to stand out. In the battle for QB2 in Detroit, simplicity might just be his biggest advantage.
