The Detroit Lions, for a long time, were known as a pass-heavy offense without any star running backs.
However, with rising star Kerryon Johnson in the backfield alongside veteran C.J. Anderson, there is plenty of optimism for a rejuvenated rushing attack. Offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell has a history of run-heavy offenses from his time with the Seattle Seahawks, so there figure to be plenty of touches for the ‘sons.
There is one other ‘son that could play a significant role for the Lions in 2019, and that’s Ty Johnson.
