Detroit Lions head coach Jim Schwartz said he believes RB Mikel Leshoure can be an inside runner that will be able to gain the tough yards during games. ‘No matter how we do it, running the football, throwing the football, short yardage, first-and-10, we need to have the ability to pick up tough yardage, and I think that’s something that Mikel can do for us,’ Schwartz said.

But I think he really turned a corner.’
