The Facts: Duckett is heading to play for the Seattle Seahawks with a 5-year contract, the free agent running back said on Tuesday night.

Diehards Line:Duckett, who played for the Lions last season, has 2,642 career rushing yards and 36 TDs. When he wasn’t slowed by injuries, Duckett was productive in limited opportunities in Detroit’s pass-happy offense. Last season he carried the ball 65 times for 335 yards. Duckett's size and success in goal-line situations three seasons ago when he scored eight touchdowns for Atlanta in 2005 apparently convinced the Seahawks he could provide a solution to their short-yardage struggles of the past two seasons.
