Don't forget about Theo Riddick when it comes to the Detroit Lions' backup running back job this fall.

At least that's the takeaway after reviewing the contracts the Lions gave to C.J. Anderson and Zach Zenner this offseason.

Kerryon Johnson returns this fall as the Lions' unquestioned starter, but the team added Anderson in free agency, re-signed Zenner and kept Riddick despite conjecture he could be released as a cap casualty.
