The Philadelphia Eagles missed out on a waiver claim earlier this week but they did successfully make one on Friday by landing recently released Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson.
This is an intriguing addition for the Birds.
Johnson, 24, was the Lions’ second-round pick (No. 43 overall) in the 2018 NFL Draft. He showed promise as a rookie with 118 attempts for 641 rushing yards (very good 5.4 average), three touchdowns, and just one fumble. Johnson also caught 32 of his 39 targets for 213 yards and one score.
