Zach Zenner is getting noticed on and off the field for what he brings to the Detroit Lions.
On the field – where it’s most important in building a career – he has brought production and reliability that is a valuable combination at any position.
That was most apparent late last season when injuries had left the Lions without Ameer Abdullah and Theo Riddick in a late-season playoff run.
Zenner finished strong. For the season he rushed for 334 yards and four touchdowns, but he had 170 of his rushing yards – more than half his season total -- in the last three games.
