Lions' rookie running back Ameer Abdullah was expected to be an excellent pass-catcher. However, apparently he has been great in camp. His offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi has been blown away by his receiving ability. "I like Abdullah more every day," Lombardi said. "Every day you can see him do things that really excite you. He didn't get a chance maybe to show everything he can do as a receiver at Nebraska, but he's even better in that phase of the game than I thought when we drafted him, so it was kind of a bonus when you see how well he catches the ball and how well he runs routes.
