There have been many ideas put forth about the Detroit Lions adding another running back to the mix. Many seem to view Kerryon Johnson, the Lions second rounder selection last season, as the team’s top running back heading in 2019.
But Johnson’s injury history is extensive, going all the way back to high school. The 21-year old played in only ten games his rookie season due to a knee injury. He’s clearly a talented runner when he is on the field as evidenced by his 641 rushing yards last season and 5.4 yards per carry average.
