Lets hope Mikel LeShoure is not the next Charles Rogers

The Detroit Lions really haven't had a good running back since maybe Kevin Jones but he couldn't even be consistent since he did suffer from an injury each year. After the Monday Night Football game vs the Bears last season it looked like for sure the Lions had finally had found a running back in Jahvid Best as he had 12 carries for 163 yards including the long explosive 88 yard touchdown run on a draw that even had Bears LB Brian Urlacher shaking his head. But then sure enough sooner or later he was kept out due to concussions just like he was kept out his rookie season due to turf toe. Last year the Lions drafted RB Mikel LeShoure out of the 2nd round (57th overall pick) with the hope of having that mix of thunder (LeShoure) and lightning (Best) at the RB spot like how recent Super Bowl champions the NY Giants had Bradshaw for speed and Jacobs for power. When Mikel LeShoure tore his achilles in training camp it sure looked like it would be a blow to their running game and when Best went out as well later during the season, it sure was.
Now just recently, LeShoure got caught for possession of marijuana, news that brought back more bad memories. With the recent trouble with the police and the injury suffered in practice it unfortunately brought back memories of a former Detroit Lion that has had very recent trouble with the police and suffered an injury in practice his rookie season before, Charles Rogers. Not to mention as we all recently know now Rogers has not only been one of the biggest busts ever in the NFL he has been one of the biggest busts ever in life. Why? He never took his job seriously. So the best thing here for Mikel is to learn from Rogers mistakes as in don't make anymore, he has to realize that he is in the NFL now, he has to realize he is not going through his college years anymore, so he needs to ditch the weed and realize that he is a professional now, so it's time for him to start taking his job seriously because I'm sure he doesn't want to end up in the slump that Rogers is in now. So if everybody could please take a second, I'd like everybody to fold their hands together get down on their knees, close their eyes and pray for LeShoure to get himself right. Amen.
