Throughout his rookie season, Abdullah was unable to secure the trust of the Lions coaching staff due to a severe case of fumbleitis. His habit of putting the ball on the ground started to create a snowball effect and both his confidence and pride began to slip away each time one his carries resulted in a fumble. Abdullah fumbled during the loss in Detroit’s 2015 season opener against…
