	Eddie Drummond - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Eddie Drummond (born April 12, 1980) is a kick returner for the Detroit Lions.
		Drummond went undrafted during the 2002 NFL Draft, but was signed as a rookie free agent when the Lions' two starting kick returners, Az-Zahir Hakim and Desmond Howard, became injured.
		Drummond had an outstanding rookie season, averaging 26.0 yards per kick return, ranking him third in the NFC and fifth in the NFL, and returned a punt 73 yards for a touchdown against the Arizona Cardinals.

	Drummond works on full-time return
		Eddie Drummond, who returns punts and kickoffs for the Lions, has his own goal for 2004 season and it's probably a little different than some of his teammates.
		The injury against the Vikings was particularly disappointing for Drummond because he had gotten off to a sizzling start on the punt return team with a 57-yard scoring run in the opener against Arizona and had a 26-yard punt return before being hurt against the Vikings.
		Drummond is considered the man to beat for the job, but Reggie Swinton, who handled the return duties while Drummond was hurt last year, is very much in the competition.
