When asked if Ameer Abdullah is the starting running back, Lions GM Bob Quinn said, "He is."
Detroit had nine picks in the draft this weekend. None were used on running backs. That's great news for Abdullah, who sat out most of his sophomore year with a torn ligament in his foot. The 2015 second-rounder hasn't been the difference maker the Lions hoped he would be, but he's still Detroit's lead dog coming out of the backfield. Aside from Abdullah, Theo Riddick will continue to play on passing downs while Zach Zenner will handle a change-of-pace role for the Lions.
