ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- They meet late every afternoon inside the running backs room of the Detroit Lions' practice facility. The rest of the staff and players are off doing their own things -- offensive line meetings, defensive line meetings, special-teams meetings. But these two guys have started creating something else.
It's something the veteran took from his days in Denver and carried to Carolina and Los Angeles before implementing it in Detroit with a new star-potential running back. Kerryon Johnson immediately embraced the help C.J. Anderson was offering.
Anderson was once Johnson, the hotshot running back coming off a good rookie year and seemingly destined for stardom.
