Notes: Former Lions RB Bo Scarbrough wins USFL Offensive Player of the Week

Though Bo Scarbrough’s time with the Detroit Lions was short, he made a big impression with fans in his brief time on the field. Scarbrough signed to the Lions’ practice squad in November of 2019, and a week later he was in the starting lineup against the Dallas Cowboys. He went on to start five of the next six games, racking up a total of 377 yards on the ground at 4.24 yards per carry, and nearly reached the elusive 100-yard rushing game twice (97 and 84 yards).

After the Lions invested heavily in the position the following year (drafted D’Andre Swift, and Jason Huntley, and signed Adrian Peterson), Scarbrough’s Lions career was done.
