</TD></TR><TR><TD vAlign=top colSpan=3>Lions beat writer Tom Kowalski confirms that first-round pick Jahvid Best "is expected to be the feature back."
"We're throwing everything we have at him," coach Jim Schwartz said. "We didn't spoon-feed it." We're not saying Best is the next Chris Johnson, but he's got similar speed and is drawing similar spring-time raves. He's also got a much clearer path to carries than Johnson did as a rookie. Best won't see eight in the box, and shouldn't struggle for 250+ touches if he stays healthy. That's a big "if," of course, considering his litany of college maladies.
