Kerryon Johnson, D'Andre Swift Will Share The Load
Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson is expected to share the backfield load with rookie D'Andre Swift in 2020. Johnson has a nice all-around game and has 621 snaps in the last two years, but he's also been a bit injury-prone. Swift is more explosive as a runner and could be more polished in the […]
Draft Sleepers That Could Be League Winners
Last year, players like Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson and tight end Mark Andrews could have been drafted in the ninth round or later.

Matthew Stafford Not Concerned By Trade Rumors
Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford hasn't given much thought to trade rumors earlier this year and has always prepared as if he'd be the team's quarterback in 2020 and for many years to come.

Detroit Lions rookie running back D'Andre Swift will enter the 2020 season behind 2018 second-rounder Kerryon Johnson, but Johnson's injury issues have limited him to just one 100-yard game since October of 2018. Swift can excel as both a runner and receiver out of the backfield, giving Detroit plenty of options to complement Johnson. NFL […]

So were Robby Anderson, Preston Williams, Tyrell […]
