In 2013, the Lions WR Ryan Broyles was set for a comeback after a 2012 rookie season shortened by an ACL injury, where he played in 10 games, recording 22 receptions for 310 yards and two touchdowns.
The comeback was left short when he tore his Achilles. He appeared in six games and had eight receptions for 85 yards.
This season he was poised for an injury free season, and he was expected by most to really help the Lions.
In Sunday's win for the Lions, in which they were without superstar WR Calvin Johnson, Broyles only appeared in two of the team's 70 snaps on offense.
Needless to say, Broyles wasn't too pleased with his playing time, and he took to Twitter after the game.
On the 2014 season Broyles has only one catch for 21 yards. Broyles set the NCAA FBS career receptions record with 349 during his time with the Oklahoma Sooners.
Broyles was drafted in the second round and 54th overall in the 2012 NFL Draft.
