OAKLAND, Calif. — A line of reporters was snaking its way to Kerryon Johnson inside the cramped visitor’s locker room at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum, where a maze of equipment bags they were being careful not to step on blanketed the floor, when the Detroit Lions’ mature-beyond-his-years rookie running back looked up from his laundry and told the group: Stay right there, I’ll come to you.
After running and dodging and ducking and weaving all night, Johnson finally, willfully gave himself up.
