Lions notes: Theo Riddick is ‘probably the best 3rd-down back’

• Our good friend and former Detroit Lions quarterback Dan Orlovsky made his weekly appearance on “Good Morning Football” on Tuesday. In a segment talking about Le’Veon Bell’s excellent pass protection, Orlovsky made sure to give a huge compliment to his former teammate Theo Riddick.

“Le’Veon, it stands out because he’s suck a big time back, but Theo Riddick is probably the best third-down back, because of his pass-catching ability, but his ability to go make those blocks consistently,” Orlovsky said. Watch the entire segment here.
