As the offseason has progressed, Detroit Lions fans have incrementally gotten more excited about the team’s rushing attack. The Lions first addressed their last-ranked running game on New Year’s Day, firing maligned offensive line coach Ron Prince. Since then, the hype has been on. The Lions grabbed LeGarrette Blount during early free agency, they took interior offensive lineman Frank Ragnow with their first-round pick, and they traded up to grab their running back of the future in Kerryon Johnson.
So all things considered, the Lions running game should absolutely be improved in 2018.
