Rookies showing their class in workouts

Tahir Whitehead, T Riley Reiff, and CBs Jonte Green and Bill Bentley all excelled during Detroit's minicamp Tuesday. Reiff took extended reps in place of the injured Jason Fox. Whitehead and Green have moved into second-team slots, and Bentley intercepted a pass during drills. Jim Schwartz said that while he's pleased with the rookies' efforts, their offseason performances won't factor into Detroit's final roster decisions. “You can’t make the team in mini-camp, but you can make a good impression,” he said. “You make the team based on training camp and based on preseason games.”
