Seattle -- Fullback Michael Burton described running back Ameer Abdullah last week in a way many Lions players have discussed star receiver Calvin Johnson over the years.
Whether in practice or games, Burton said, Abdullah does a few impressive things on a daily basis. Those eye-popping plays were common in training camp this summer, and Abdullah has already had a few in the first three games of his career.
But much like Johnson and other playmakers, Abdullah has yet to show his full potential in 2015 as the offense has struggled and been playing from behind for the most part this season.
