The Detroit Lions appear to have found a future star at running back last season when they traded up in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft to select Auburn’s Kerryon Johnson. And despite cracking the century rushing mark twice in his rookie year, Johnson only played in 10 games total due to a knee injury.
Injuries will be the young running back’s biggest obstacle to overcome as he has an extensive injury history reaching all the way back to his days in high school. But the Lions knew what they were getting into with Johnson.
