Wednesday open thread: How many running backs should the Detroit Lions keep?

Earlier this week, our own John Whiticar posted about the logjam of talent at wide receiver. Do the Lions keep five, six or even seven wideouts? With all the talent at the position and only a limited amount of targets to go around, it’s truly a conundrum for Detroit’s front office.

But the problem may be even more complicated in the Lions’ offensive backfield. Last year’s running backs in Kerryon Johnson, Bo Scarbrough and Ty Johnson all showed enough in 2019 to believe there’s room for them on this roster.
