>P> Lions linebacker Zack Follett knows Lions running back Jahvid Best, who was a late first-round draft pick, better than anyone on the team right now since they played together at Cal.

Follett thinks best was an excellent addition to the Lions’ offense.

“He’s the fastest guy I’ve ever seen on the football field. ... He has another gear. His cuts, he doesn’t lose any speed. I already had it played out in my head, him busting a 70-yard run and everyone going crazy in Ford Field and I’ll be sitting on the bench saying, ‘I told you so, I told you so,’’’ Follett said.
