No position on the Detroit Lions roster promises to look more different at the top than running back. The team went out and immediately added two players who are almost certainly going to the top of the depth chart, but what will that do to the Lions’ runners from yesteryear?
Let’s take a look at our next key training camp battle: Running back depth.
Second-round draft pick Kerryon Johnson and LeGarrette Blount will be your 1A and 1B running backs, assuming no injuries happen before the regular season. At this point, I’m labeling Bellore as a roster lock, as well, considering the Lions have clearly committed to using a fullback more often this offseason.
