They say lightning doesn’t strike the same place twice, yet somehow the Detroit Lions have managed to pull of something even more unlikely in two consecutive offseasons: they’re retaining Ben Johnson. That’s a big deal, and speaks volumes to the type of environment that has been cultivated in Allen Park. It means continuity for scheme, players, and staff alike. There are many beneficiaries of this decision, but who’s the biggest winner?
Question of the day: Who benefits the most from Ben Johnson staying in Detroit?
I think the easy answer here is Jared Goff, but there’s no telling how Jared Goff fares in a Ben Johnson-less offense in Detroit.
