The Detroit Lions have been no better than 28th in the NFL the past four years in rushing yards, finishing dead last twice, including last season.
The way Mel Kiper Jr. sees it, help could be on the way in the NFL draft.
The ESPN draft expert has the Lions selecting LSU running back Derrius Guice at No. 20 in his latest mock draft (pay site), revealed Tuesday. The 5-foot-11, 218-pound Guice rushed for 1,251 yards (5.3 yards a carry) and 11 touchdowns last season for the Tigers.
He averaged 6.5 yards in 471 career carries at LSU.
