'Theo Riddick Hype Train' keeps chugging along

It's the offseason, so it's time for Dan Orlovsky to start hyping up Theo Riddick.

Throughout the 2014 offseason, no Detroit Lions player received more hype than running back Theo Riddick. Whether it was from outside sources or his teammates, somebody was seemingly hyping Riddick up on a weekly basis during the offseason. And perhaps nobody was a bigger hype man for Riddick than quarterback Dan Orlovsky, who projected him to have 50 catches and be the Lions' Darren Sproles during the 2014 season.

Riddick didn't quite get to 50 catches, as he finished 2014 with 34 receptions for 316 yards and four touchdowns.
