Matt Patricia on Zach Zenner: ‘Every minute I’ve been around the guy, the more I love him’

There’s some uncertainty in the Lions back field at the moment. The Lions signed Pro Bowl defensive tackle Mike Daniels on Friday afternoon, but with their corresponding move, they released Theo Riddick, who had been a roster staple for the past six years.

Where does that leave the rest of the group? The loss of Riddick sort of muddies up the waters and takes away an answer to a question we all thought we knew the answer to. Then there’s Zach Zenner.

Zenner has been with the Lions since 2015 and has been quite the fan favorite despite only playing in 36 games and rushing for just 685 yards and eight touchdowns.
