Lions RB Mikel Leshoure has seen more offseason reps with Joique Bell battling a lingering knee injury.
Bell missed the offseason conditioning program and early OTAs, allowing Leshoure to fully familiarize himself with new OC Joe Lombardi's offense. Lombardi hails from New Orleans, where Sean Payton found a way to incorporate three and sometimes four backs. Leshoure may fill a Mark Ingram or Chris Ivory-like role.
Yeah even if he went somewhere where he could split carries it'd be better. It's gonna be tough for him to get touches even with Lombardi. Detroit just has so many mouths to feed on offense.

Agreed. He has the talent.

I was hoping they would trade him off to a RB needy team.

I don't get how he goes for 1000+ yrds and 9 TD's to nothing last year.
