The Detroit Lions have put a tremendous amount of effort into improving their comatose ground game. Starting with their first round selection of center/guard Frank Ragnow in the 2018 NFL Draft. And continuing with the selection of running back Kerryon Johnson in the second.
They also added power back LeGarrette Blount as well as a handful of offensive linemen in free agency, plus getting a steal in the fifth round of the draft with tackle Tyrell Crosby who many experts expected to be selected in the second round.
How well they all work out remains to be seen, but all teams with outstanding rushing attacks either have all-pro running backs or dominant O-line play.
