WitP: Ikaika Alama-Francis

Carlos Monarrez of the Detroit Free Press profiles Ikaika Alama-Francis.

Now, Alama-Francis has started with a clean slate with the new coaching staff. With a new "get bigger and get stronger" edict for the team, Alama-Francis has gone from 275 pounds to 290 pounds and even joked that he's getting taller.

"Well, I'm wearing thicker cleats this year," he said. "I've gained about half an inch."

Alama-Francis has been lining up inside at times during practice, but he said there is no permanent role determination. It's just part of the process coaches go through to see where every player fits best.
