The Detroit Lions witnessed a number of their young players take substantial leaps in production from their rookie season over the past few years.
Darius Slay, Theo Riddick and Eric Ebron are just a few whose production saw a major uptick from their rookie campaign to their second year.
Who can we expect will join that list this season?
The “NFL Total Access” crew selected second-year running back Ameer Abdullah as one of their potential breakout stars at running back in 2016.
Lions head coach Jim Caldwell told beat reporters at last month’s NFL League Meetings that if any one of his second-year players were going to come back much better players in 2016, he’d expect Abdullah to be high on the list.
