2018 Detroit Lions free agency preview: 4 running backs the Lions could target

Our free agency preview continues this week with one of the most talked about positions of need for the Detroit Lions in 2018: running back. For far too long, the Lions’ running game has been stuck in neutral, and as pointed out earlier in the week, Detroit has had the most ineffective rushing attack over the past three years... by far.

Late night stat.

Lions rushing yards under Ron Prince (2015-17): 3866, 32nd in NFL

The Lions went about fixing that problem already, overhauling the entire offensive line coaching staff, but that’s only half the equation.
