The Detroit Lions made major moves to improve their running game in 2018. First, they signed running back LeGarrette Blount as a free agent. Next, they drafted running back Kerryon Johnson and offensive lineman Frank Ragnow. They even drafted a fullback, Nick Bawden, in the final round of the draft. Surely this unit will be improved in 2018.
But what if it isn’t? Playing devil’s advocate, what if the Detroit Lions finish in the bottom five in rushing in the NFL this season? Enter the possibility of 2019’s best free agent on the market, running back Le’Veon Bell.
