The Lions appear to have the talented young pieces to help fuel its offense this season.
Running back Kerryon Johnson averaged 5.4 yards per carry as a rookie. Receiver Kenny Golladay collected his first 1,000-yard season in his second year in the NFL. Tight end T.J. Hockenson, the Lions' top pick at No. 8 overall, was considered by some to be the most complete prospect in this year's draft.
All three are 25 years old or younger.
