What are the Lions doing at running back in 2019? It’s a position the Lions needed some help at once the offseason started and LeGarrette Blount hit free agency. But it seemed the Lions had fixed that problem when they went out and signed C.J. Anderson to backup Kerryon Johnson.
With Johnson, Anderson, Zach Zenner and Theo Riddick already on board, the last thing I expected was for the Lions to go out and draft a running back. But that’s exactly what they did when they took Maryland’s Ty Johnson in the sixth round of the NFL Draft.
