Twenty years ago, the Detroit Lions made a splash by luring Matt Millen out of the broadcast booth to be their president and general manager. Now, it's possible they go the TV route again.
ESPN and NFL Network reported Wednesday that the Lions will interview ESPN analyst Louis Riddick for their vacant GM job later this week.
Riddick is scheduled to meet with the Houston Texans on Wednesday and the Lions on Friday, according to ESPN. Riddick's agent declined comment to the Free Press.
A ninth-round draft pick by the San Francisco 49ers in 1991, Riddick played seven seasons for four teams before embarking on a front office career.
