Crowded is a good word to describe the Detroit Lions‘ running back room. Many resources, including the draft and free agency, were used to upgrade the running game.
Nabbing LeGarrette Blount off the market and re-signing Zach Zenner was the start and a good one too. Things only got better day two of the draft when the Lions drafted Kerryon Johnson and fullback Nick Bawden on day three.
That’s four running backs right there. Most teams carry five.
Ameer Abdullah, Theo Riddick, Tion Green and Dwayne Washington are the remaining backs.
