Allen Park — One week he’s Devonta Freeman, the next Dalvin Cook. While he waits for his opportunity, Lions running back Tion Green’s job is to be someone different every week.
An undrafted rookie out of Cincinnati, Green was one of the biggest surprises when the Lions’ announced their 53-man roster heading into the season. Six weeks and a dozen roster moves later, despite being a healthy scratch the first six games, he still has that job.
He earned his spot with a solid training camp and electric preseason finale, where he racked up 150 yards from scrimmage and dazzled with a 74-yard touchdown off a screen pass.
