Detroit Lions RBs Theo Riddick and Steven Miller could compete for one roster spot during training camp because both are speed backs that could be used as a kick returner.
Our View: Riddick (2013 sixth-round) played both RB and slot WR during his time in college at Notre Dame. He also contributed as a return man for the Fighting Irish. Miller (2013 undrafted) played his college ball at Appalachian State and was a standout player because of his big play ability. We like Miller’s willingness to run inside, lower his shoulder, and keep his feet moving upon contact. Either back is a good option for the practice squad if they don’t make the final roster.
