Detroit Lions perfect landing spot for running back Jeremy Hill

With the emergence of running back Kerryon Johnson last year and the hiring of offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell this offseason, the Detroit Lions should feature a very run-heavy offense in 2019.

A second-round selection in the 2018 NFL Draft out of Auburn, Johnson shined his rookie season. Although a knee injury limited him to only 10 games, the then 21-year old rushed for 641 yards and three touchdowns posting an incredible 5.4 yards per carry.

Bevell is the former offensive coordinator for both the Minnesota Vikings and the Seattle Seahawks, having won a Super Bowl with the latter in 2014.
