Matt Zenitz of CBSSports.com reports that the Lions are expected to hire Choice as the team’s next running backs coach. Choice currently coaches running backs at Texas.

While coaching running backs at Georgia Tech from 2020-21, Choice worked with Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs.

Clarence E. Hill Jr. of alldlls.com previously noted that Choice made $700,000 in 2024, with a bump to $750,000 in 2025. Presumably, the Lions will be beating that number.

Scottie Montgomery currently serves as assistant head coach/running backs coach with the Lions. He’ll shift to receivers coach. Montgomery spent three years with the Steelers in that role from 2010 through 2012.

Choice was rumored to be a candidate for the Dallas Cowboys running back coach last week. Now, he's off to Detroit.
