MELVIN GORDON
The Lions are in need of a serious running back threat to pair with Joique Bell. I don’t believe that Reggie Bush is that guy anymore. I find this situation to be the same as Sammy Watkins last year. The Lions were like a nervous teenage boy around his first crush whenever Sammy was around or brought up.
When they finally got the guts to make a move, Freddie Prinze Jr. had already swooped in and made Sammy his prom project. I don’t think the Lions will make that mistake this time around. If they get the chance they will take him. Granted we don’t know how much interest is even there from the Lions. All we know is this:
