Obviously Lions coach Jim Schwartz has been keeping a close eye on rookie quarterback Matthew Stafford in the workouts since the draft which wrapped up with this week’s minicamp.
 “He’s been consistent from the very first time he took the field. He had confidence in the huddle, obviously he has confidence in his arm. One thing that you do see is his ability and confidence to try to fit ball into tight quarters,’’ Schwartz said.
 It will get tougher once the players are in full pads and hitting during training camp, but Schwartz said Stafford needs the confidence to know he can complete a pin-point pass.
