6 years agoDetroit Lions rookie running back Kerryon Johnson is in a position to transform the Lions offense this season. The rookie ball carrier has impressed this preseason, and while he will be splitting time with LeGarrette Blount and Theo Riddick, Johnson is by far the best back on the roster. Even Blount believes Johnson will have a major role in the offense, according to Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press. Ranked as the overall RB33, there is easily RB2 potential from Johnson as the Lions look to establish a running game this season.--Steve Janik - RotoBaller
