LeGarrette Blount Starter In Name Only
6 years agoDetroit Lions running back LeGarrette Blount remains listed as the starter on the depth chart for Week 5. However, over the last two weeks, it has been clear second-round pick Kerryon Johnson is becoming the Lions number one running back. Last week, he started the game with a 32 yard run, and was the guy the Lions turned to on a 1st and goal from the eight yard line; not the alleged goal line specialist Blount. And, Johnson converted on that play with an impressive touchdown run. Expect to see this timeshare tipping heavily in Johnson's favor moving forward. Playing Blount in any format is a touchdown hail Mary at this point.
