Free Press sports writer Carlos Monarrez grades the Detroit Lions after selecting New Mexico State running back Jason Huntley with the No. 172 overall pick in the fifth round of the 2020 NFL draft:
Pick: Jason Huntley, New Mexico State running back
Grade: B.
The reason: Huntley gives the Lions depth at running back as a scatback with versatility as a pass catcher. He rushed for 1,090 yards last season, but his main contribution could come as a kick returner. He led the Football Bowl Subdivision in 2018 with three kickoff returns for touchdowns and averaged 27.
