Detroit's Mike Weber sees limited college duty as 'plus,' says ​​​​​​​playing for Lions would be 'crazy'

Indianapolis — Mike Weber might have left the state of Michigan to attend Ohio State, but on the cusp of realizing his NFL dream, the running back remains fueled by Detroit, the city he was born and raised.

"It's just home," Weber explained at the NFL Combine on Friday. "It's hard to explain. It's gritty. There's a lot of people there that's dedicated and driven to become better people. It's an upcoming city that I'm really proud to be a part of and I'm proud to say I'm from there. Any chance I get, I get back to that city.
