Earlier in the week ESPN listed a player on every team’s roster that they believed could use a “change of scenery.” The notion here is that every team has a talented player who has not reached their full potential in their current situation, and a change in teams will help unlock some of that talent. Sometimes coaches aren’t utilizing a player properly, or the environment has grown too toxic for the individual. A change in scenery doesn’t always breed success, but it’s certainly not unheard of.
Michael Rothstein was responsible for listing that player for the Detroit Lions and his choice was pretty easy: running back Ameer Abdullah.
