It’s early in the NFL season, very early, but even just two weeks in it’s clear the Detroit Lions have a breakout star on their team.
And no, it isn’t Amon-Ra St. Brown.
It isn’t D’Andre Swift, either. Or Aidan Hutchinson.
It’s the guy who wasn’t even really the guy until the Lions kicked off against Philadelphia.
Looking back, it’s seems laughable that Ben Johnson, who has the Lions tied for the second-best scoring offense in the NFL after two weeks — yes, SECOND BEST — wasn’t even formally given play-calling duties until the first game.
