Riddick defied the odds to play six seasons with the Detroit Lions after being a sixth round pick in 2013. Few running backs manage to last that long with one team, especially when they aren’t productive as runners. Riddick’s career-high was 92 carries for 357 yards and 3.9 yards per carry with Detroit in 2016. He did catch 80 passes for 697 yards the year before. Riddick didn’t play in the NFL last season. Riddick is 29.
