Football Outsiders Q&A Part 2: How much can the Detroit Lions’ running game improve in one year?

The post-Barry Sanders Detroit Lions and a running game go together like oil and vinegar. Try as they might every season, but the Lions just cannot seem to establish the run. They’ve tried back after back and even offensive lineman after offensive lineman, but nothing seems to work.

However, there finally seems to be some hope in Detroit. The Lions have a slew of talented backs headed into 2018, and many believe general manager Bob Quinn added the final piece of the offensive line puzzle by drafting Arkansas center/guard Frank Ragnow with his first-round pick this year.
