NFL Mock Draft 2018: Detroit Lions pick a first round running back

Detroit hasn’t had a 100 yard rusher in a little over 4 years. FOUR YEARS! That’s an astonishing level of mediocrity on the same level as that year when the Chiefs went a whole year without throwing a touchdown to a wide receiver. That doesn’t seem like it should even be possible. Someone had to have broken off a 75 yard touchdown run and found 25 more yards to luck into a 100 yard game at some point in 4 years right? Nope, the Lions have played 70 games since they had a 100 yard rusher, and there have been 430 century yard rushing games across the NFL since Reggie Bush did it for Detroit on Thanksgiving Day of 2013.
