Allen Park — Ty Johnson doesn’t scare easily.
But the Lions rookie running back will admit to being a little spooked the first time he took a regular-season handoff at Ford Field.
Even before that, Johnson will tell you he felt some jitters early in Sunday's home opener against the Los Angeles Chargers.
“That nervousness sets in a little bit, just because I’m a rookie,” he said. “But then it goes away right when I get in the huddle.”
Only it doesn’t go away entirely. And that’s a good thing, he figures.
