The Detroit Lions have a new running backs coach, and it's someone who has had plenty of success tutoring young rushers.

The Lions hired Kyle Caskey to replace David Walker, a team source told the Free Press on Tuesday.

Caskey spent the last nine seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals, where he started as an assistant offensive line coach.
