Warm up your engines, fantasy football owners. The Lions kick off their NFL exhibition season Friday against the Oakland Raiders, and that means our first glimpse at some of the team’s new players.
Here’s the guy I’m most interested in watching: Running back Kerryon Johnson, a second-round draft pick from Auburn.
He’s the most exciting new offensive skill player the Lions have had since they drafted … running back and second-round pick Ameer Abdullah in 2015. Yes, and they drafted running back Mikel Leshoure in the second round in 2011. And Jahvid Best in the first round in 2010.
