According to Lions Insider Tim Twentyman, the Detroit Lions hosted Auburn RB Onterio McCalebb on March 26.
McCalebb came in for a pre-draft visit. He's a versatile player that has run and caught the football as well as played on special teams. However, he's only 168 pounds, which limits what he'll be able to offer at the next level. He ran 4.33 and 4.34 40-yard dashes at the school's pro day in early March. Mar 26 - 5:24 PM

Onterio McCalebb - RB - Tigers

CBS' Jason LaCanfora writes Auburn RB Onterio McCalebb is projected to be selected on the third day.

The big concern with the running back is his weight or lack thereof. He weighed in only at 168 pounds, which will limit his role in the NFL. McCalebb has a fascinating background story, which gives many reasons to root for him.

Onterio McCalebb - RB - Tigers

Auburn WR/RB Onterio McCalebb ran an unofficial 4.21 forty at the NFL Combine, but the time was officially timed at 4.34 seconds.

McCalebb's fast run came on his second time, and although it is very quick, the Auburn back is light in the pants. He might be limited to a returner role in the NFL, unless a team can find a way to get him the ball in open space.

Onterio McCalebb - RB - Tigers

Auburn head coach Gene Chizik hinted that the team would like to have one RB separate themselves each week.

The Tigers are definitely a running back by committee team, but Chizik wants to ride the hot hand of whoever stands out. However, the head coach added it isn't that easy. "Some guys are more perimeter guys. Some guys are more inside guys. We have to use our personnel to the best of our ability, based on what they can do." The two top options are senior Ontario McCalebb, a straight-line speed edge runner, and sophomore Tre Mason.

Onterio McCalebb - RB - Tigers

Auburn coaches explained that the team will use a running back by committee approach for the 2012 season.

The staff knows what they have in senior Ontario McCalebb, a senior with excellent straight-line speed, but the jury is still out on sophomore Tre Mason, freshman Mike Blakely, and sophomore Corey Grant. The plan is to give all four touches during the program's opener against Clemson or until one ball carrier emerges as the leader.
