On Sunday, the Detroit Lions made a somewhat surprising move. In the only waiver claim they were awarded over the weekend, Detroit decided to bolster their running back room by adding former Seahawk J.D. McKissic to their roster. Running back didn’t seem to be a major need for this team, considering they added C.J. Anderson in free agency and drafted Ty Johnson in the sixth round of the 2019 NFL Draft.
But one voice among the Lions coaching staff likely had a lot of influence in bringing McKissic to Detroit.
