Free agent running back Najeh Davenport, who ran for 499 yards last year while filling in for Pittsburgh Steelers starter Willie Parker, told NFL Radio that he would like to be the Detroit Lions' power running back. The 2002 fourth-round draft pick of the Green Bay Packers listed the Arizona Cardinals as another team he's interested in.

NFLGridironGab.com, June 30: Another team that Davenport mentioned was Detroit, which looks like they still may be in the market for a back after attending the workout of the RB they dumped just recently, Kevin Jones, over the weekend. Davenport would fit their need for a "power back" well.
