It’s hard to put Lions rookie Jason Huntley in a box — positionally or otherwise. Even in a box, Huntley might find a way to get away from a defender, using his quickness or low-to-the-ground style that has garnered some attention in training camp.
In recent years, the Lions have had trouble staying healthy and building a solid corps in the backfield, but they look to have the makings of something solid this year with Kerryon Johnson, Ty Johnson and rookies D’Andre Swift and Huntley.
In the Lions’ scrimmage on Saturday, Huntley had some big gains out of the backfield and showed that the concerns about him being durable enough to run between the tackles are a bit premature.
