For seemingly forever, the Detroit Lions have been searching for a good backfield. Plenty of draft capital has been spent trying to find a lead back, and the last three drafts have seen a pair of running backs selected in the second round. With both in the fold and healthy, 2020 could finally be the year the Lions have a formidable running game.
When Bob Quinn traded up to get Kerryon Johnson two years ago, it was clear that the team had high expectations for him as the lead back. While he has had some promising moments, including breaking the 100-yard drought, Johnson has struggled with injuries through his first two years.
