The Detroit Lions have had their fair share of flops in the backfield over the years, never seeming to recover from losing Hall of Fame running back Barry Sanders to retirement in 1999. But now, with rookie RB D’Andre Swift and third-year Kerryon Johnson, does Detroit have something brewing?
It’s definitely intriguing to think about the potential of a two-headed monster in the backfield with those two. Some Lions fans are already comparing it to a possible replica of what the New Orleans Saints had with Mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara in 2017 and 2018.
