The Detroit Lions have stated that they want to run the ball better and more efficiently, and they haven’t messed around trying to make that a reality. Using their sole remaining 5th rounder at 168th overall on Rutgers fullback Michael Burton. With their first pick on a “people mover” at guard, their second pick on a home run rusher, the Lions continue to double down on the run game by drafting a lead blocker to help open holes.
So blocking wasn’t really a question during his college tenure.
