The Detroit Lions may soon have a difficult decision to make about their former second-round running back entering his third season.
Sounds like a broken record, doesn’t it?
For years, the Lions had invested second-round picks in attempts to revitalize a stagnant rushing attack, and each time it went poorly. Injuries plagued every one of these players, leading to short stints in Detroit. They drafted Mikel LeShoure in 2011, who tore his Achilles in training camp of his rookie year and never looked the same. They drafted Ameer Abdullah in 2015, who injured his left foot in his second season and never looked the same.
