Joe Lombardi likes Ameer Abdullah more every day

The Lions picked running back Ameer Abdullah in the second round of the draft and it doesn’t look like he’s done anything to make the team second-guess that choice during his first few weeks with the organization.

With Joique Bell recovering from knee and Achilles surgeries, Abdullah and Theo Riddick have been getting most of the prime reps during practices. Lombardi said both players have done well and said he’s finding more to like about Abdullah with every session.

“These guys get more reps, and every rep is good,” Lombardi said, via the Detroit Free Press.
