As free agency approaches, we will look back at the Detroit Lions roster, examining expectations coming into the season and evaluating players’ futures with the team.
Zach Zenner, RB
A restricted free agent this past offseason, the Lions let Zenner walk in free agency, but they would re-sign him in mid March. However, with the addition of Kerryon Johnson and LeGarrette Blount in the draft and free agency respectively, Zenner was expected to be little more than a depth player, with an outside chance to even make the roster.
