Allen Park — How long have the Detroit Lions been trying to find a running game? What year did Barry Sanders retire again?
Outside of 2013, when Reggie Bush and Joique Bell combined for a 1,656 yards on the ground, the Lions have struggled to find a supplement to quarterback Matthew Stafford’s arm and it has often hindered the offense from reaching its full potential.
After ranking 30th in the NFL this past season, and mustering a paltry 49 rushing yards in a playoff loss to the Seattle Seahawks, it’s back to the drawing board for the Lions this offseason.
