Detroit Lions: Running back position getting little attention this offseason

The Detroit Lions have signed, and traded for, a slew of players since the start of the new league year and free agency. While many positions on the roster were expected to be addressed in some way, shape or form, one position hasn’t seen much action. And it was a position that came out of the 2019 season with a black eye.

The Lions haven’t added a running back. They’ve lost running back J.D. McKissic to the Washington Redskins, which is a bit of a surprise since he’s a restricted free agent and was brought in due to the familiarity with Lions offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell.
