Allen Park — After Kerryon Johnson finished his first season on injured reserve, Detroit Lions general manager Bob Quinn is hopeful a full NFL offseason, compared to one focused on preparing for scouting combine drills, will better prepare the young running back to make it through a full 16-game slate.
“I would say the majority of the rookies and the young players, we talk a lot about their body because the college season is shorter, the NFL season is longer,” Quinn said. “You’re going to take more hits, you’re going to take more practice reps, all those things add up.
