50. . . Previous: . Detroit Lions. 15. team

For years, the Detroit Lions offense has been about letting quarterback Matthew Stafford run things through the air. It worked, at times, but the Lions needed to round out the offense with a stronger running game.

That hopefully changes in 2018, particularly after the offseason additions of veteran LeGarrette Blount and rookie second-round pick Kerryon Johnson.

Johnson may likely be the future star, which is great. And by accounts, he’s looked excellent in training camp so far.

That’ll help push Detroit up a bit in NFL power rankings before the regular season begins.
