He spent his first full day on the job introducing himself to his new teammates in the huddle. Now, the Detroit Lions are calling running back Craig Reynolds by a new name.
“We call him Netflix," Lions running backs coach Duce Staley said Wednesday. "That’s what he was doing, right? On the couch watching Netflix, and all of a sudden he came in, got a couple yards and scored a touchdown. We call him Netflix. We all watch Netflix, right? Well, he’s Netflix."
Out of football part of last season and again most of the spring, Reynolds has done enough in his two weeks with the Lions to put himself in competition for the third running back job.
