J.D. McKissic Becomes Free Agent
5 years agoThe Detroit Lions didn't tender a contract to restricted free-agent running back J.D. McKissic, making him a free agent. McKissic was forced into duty in 2019 with the Lions with their backfield beat up, but he still only had 38 carries for 205 yards and no rushing touchdowns in 16 games, although he did run for 5.4 yards a carry. He also added 34 receptions for 233 yards and one touchdown. The 26-year-old is mostly a depth option as a third-down back, so he's unlikely to have much of a role if he signs on with another team on the open market.
