Joique Bell Says He'll Rush For Over 1,200 Yards This Season

Detroit Lions RB Joique Bell is very confident heading into the 2015 season.

"I'm going to rush for over 1,200 yards." Bell told MLive.com.

He explained, "That's the minimum. If I do less than that, I'll be surprised. I'll be disappointed. Anything more than that, I wouldn't be surprised at all."

I wouldn't be "surprised" either… I'd be shocked!

There were a total of 6 NFL RBs last season that rushed for over 1,200 yards: Demarco Murray, Le'Veon Bell, LeSean McCoy, Marshawn Lynch, Justin Forsett and Arian Foster. Bell rushed for 860.

The Detroit Lions, as a team, rushed for 1,422 yards last season, which ranked 28th in the NFL.

I like Joique's confidence, but I simply have no idea how he would possibly rush for 1,200 yards alone next season.

Would you be surprised if he ran for over 1,200?
