From the article

Jacob Saylors is the best running back not named Jahmyr Gibbs in Detroit...his 6.2 yards per carry is the fourth-best mark among the 67 qualifying running backs with at least 10 carries this preseason...All of this leads back to me currently believing that Saylors is closer to being the team's RB3 instead of RB4, thus making him a safe bet to make the 53-man roster.
