Lions rookie RB Jahvid Best is turning heads at minicamp. He has impressed his teammates all offseason, including Wednesday when the final minicamp began. "You hear about how explosive Best is and then you see him catch a ball in the flat, stick his foot in the ground and get up field like a Mustang," Burleson said. "He's just extremely explosive. I've seen him catch a ball at a dead stop, stick his foot in the ground and get up field extremely fast." Coach Jim Schwartz has seen Best improve throughout the offseason. "We threw a lot at him in rookie camp, to get him exposed to a lot of things," Schwartz said. "He has grasped everything we've thrown at him. We haven't spoon-fed him. We've used him as wide receiver, in the slot, at running back. He ran the ball, we threw him the ball. He has been exposed to everything. He's a good, smart player -- that's why we drafted him. He's smart, multi-dimensional and he can make plays. And you saw some plays today that he made." Source: CBS Sports
The Lions have done a good job of turning that football team around. Seems like they are smart about getting good players to help them re-build. I highly doubt they will go 0-16 for a very long time with the direction they are headed.
