According to Anwar Richardson of MLive.com,  there’s concern within the Detroit Lions organization that running back Jahvid Best’s career could be over after suffering a concussion earlier in the season that ultimately ended his season prematurely. The Lions drafted Mikel Leshoure of Illinois, but his rookie season was over before it started, after suffering a season ending Achilles injury in preseason. There’s a really good chance the Lions might try their luck once again in this year’s draft, by taking another running back.
