Despite the fact 32-year old Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford is coming off an injury-plagued season in which he was limited to just eight games in 2019, the running back position should be a bigger concern in the Motor City. If the Lions want to extend Stafford’s career, successfully running the football will be paramount.
This is something the Lions have been rarely able to do during Stafford 11-year tenure in Motown. And the best hope of bringing a consistent rushing attack to Detroit, third-year running back Kerryon Johnson, can’t seem to stay healthy.
