Ameer Abdullah's ridiculous touchdown against McNeese State from last season is one of the nominees for the Best Play award at the 2015 ESPYS.
- Speaking of Abdullah, his main goal for his rookie season is to "just contribute." In fact, he's even willing to "be the best scout player in the country" if that's what it takes to contribute. That's definitely the right attitude, but I'm sure the Detroit Lions have bigger plans than that for Abdullah in 2015.
- Case in point: Detroit likes to utilize its running backs in multiple ways on offense.
