Detroit Lions Running Back Update…

As the Lions reported to mini-camp recently, a few realizations happened regarding their running back situation. Apparently, Tatum Bell showed up overweight. Bell has never been seen as someone with the best work ethic in the world, and this is disappointing for someone competing for a starting job. Bell recently predicted 1,400 yards and 20 TDs for himself, so he’s obviously dillusional.

Brian Calhoun apparently looks great and could contribute on third downs for this team, while Kevin Smith hasn’t done too much to impress the coaching staff, but hasn’t looked bad either. Our bet is still on Smith to start for this team by Week 4.
