Kerryon Johnson's first 2019 goal: 'Finish seasons'

ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- His goal might seem kind of uninspiring. But in Kerryon Johnson's mind, the most important thing to him after a rookie year in which he became a valuable piece of the Detroit Lions is just being able to stay part of the Detroit Lions.

As in stay healthy. Stay on the field. Be able to stay involved for a full season after his first year ended after 10 games. It has been his goal since before he entered the league -- something he said he brought up as far back as last year’s NFL combine.
