Mikel Leshoure faced eight defenders in the box less often than any other running back last season.
Leshoure saw a stacked box just 6.05 percent of the time, yet still averaged a paltry 3.71 YPC. It's a scary number that reaffirms Leshoure's best role is as a short-yardage pounder. That's what he'll be this season as Reggie Bush was signed to jump-start the Lions' running game as the feature back.

Pro Football Focus
Coach Jim Schwartz said he expects Mikel Leshoure to "make a big jump" in 2013.
"He flashed enough highs that gives us optimism that he can (be explosive), but he also had enough inconsistency to say that he's not there yet," said Schwartz. "We still have high hopes for him." Leshoure's 2012 season was essentially his rookie year after missing all of 2011 with a torn Achilles'. The team had just three runs of 20-plus yards last season, and Leshoure didn't have any of them.

The Lions haven't had a 1,000-yard rusher since 2004.
That season, Kevin Jones ran for 1,133 yards on a 6-10 team. New RBs coach Curtis Modkins, who oversaw the Bills' potent run game the past three years, believes he can get Detroit's out of the dumps. "(OC Scott Linehan) wants people to have to defend everything," Modkins said. "Whether we run it or pass it, I want a defense to have to defend the possibility of both and be afraid of both." The Lions have a pair of serviceable backs in Mikel Leshoure and Joique Bell, but have prioritized more of a home-run hitter in the draft or free agency.
Feb 12 - 10:52 PM

Mikel Leshoure rushed 15 times for 57 yards in Detroit's Week 17 loss to the Bears, adding three catches for an additional 20 yards.
It was a fitting end to the former second-round pick's first healthy NFL season. Although it wouldn't be wise to be too harsh on a player coming back from an explosion-sapping Achilles' injury, Leshoure proved to be little more than a grinding plodder in 2012. He'll finish with just 798 yards rushing on 215 carries (3.7 yards per carry), and only 214 receiving yards (15.3 per game). If not for his monopoly on goal-line touches — which resulted in nine rushing scores — Leshoure would have gone down as a mega-bust for fantasy purposes. He won't be a player you'll want to rely on as an RB2 in 2013.

Ryan Broyles
Sidelined
MLive.com considers Ryan Broyles a breakout candidate this season.
Broyles is recovering from a torn right ACL, and the Lions' only notable offseason receiver addition was sixth-round pick Corey Fuller. They must feel comfortable with Broyles' progress. In a six-game stretch last season, Broyles caught 21 passes for 307 yards and two touchdowns. Broyles is questionable for Week 1, but once he's back he'll have a ton of potential in the Lions' high-powered attack while working opposite Megatron.

Nate Burleson
Sidelined
The Lions' official website considers the No. 2 wideout job Nate Burleson's to lose.
Burleson won't be facing stiff competition. Sixth-rounder Corey Fuller is raw, Ryan Broyles is a slot receiver that's coming off an ACL tear, and Mike Thomas/Brian Robiskie/Kris Durham are all journeymen at best. Burleson averaged 4.5 catches for 40.0 yards per game last season, but will turn 32 in August and is coming off a broken leg. There won't be much upside here.
