Sitting out the Lions offseason program after knee and Achilles surgeries didn’t do much to dim running back Joique Bell’s expectations for the upcoming season.
No Lions running back has run for 1,200 yards in a season since Barry Sanders’s final campaign in 1998, but Bell plans to end that streak. He says that total represents the floor for his 2015 production.
“I’m going to rush for over 1,200 yards,” Bell said, via MLive.com. “That’s the minimum. If I do less than that, I’ll be surprised. I’ll be disappointed. Anything more than that, I wouldn’t be surprised at all.
