Preseason top 10 NFL rookie standout performances on offense and defense (8. Kerryon Johnson, RB, Detroit Lions
Johnson’s stats may look pedestrian at 13 carries for 50 yards, but there’s two caveats to that. The first is that Johnson had his highest-graded run of the preseason so far called back against the Raiders. The second is that 42 of his 50 yards have come after contact. Solid start for the second-rounder. 9. Frank Ragnow, G, Detroit Lions
While some of the other linemen on this list have been handling backups, Ragnow has been holding his own running with the Lions’ first team. He’s already had 37 pass-blocking snaps without allowing a single pressure.): https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/pro-preseason-top-10-rookies-on-offense-defense
PFF Press Pass – NFL previews for every matchup during preseason Week 3 (Johnson looking to separate from the Lions’ RB pack: The Lions took Kerryon Johnson in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft this past April, and the early returns have been positive. Through the first two preseason games, Johnson has played 56 snaps and has an overall grade this of 78.5 that ranks tied for eighth at the position. On his 16 touches so far, Johnson has avoided five total tackles, and 30 of his 43 rushing yards have come after contact. With the third preseason game serving as the regular season “dress rehearsal,” Johnson has the chance to distance himself from LeGarrette Blount as the Lions primary back.): https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/pro-pff-press-pass-nfl-preseason-week-3
What to watch for in Week 3 of the NFL preseason (Lions (0-2): Detroit's defensive growing pains under new coach Matt Patricia have lurked over the team this preseason. The first-team unit has struggled to prevent backup quarterbacks from orchestrating drives, so watch for a better overall defensive effort after two ho-hum outings. Offensively, the big questions continue to center on the Lions' running game. Kerryon Johnson is the clear leader with LeGarrette Blount not far behind. Ameer Abdullah, at this point, might just be working on his recruiting tape unless he has a huge game. The O-line could use that too after Matthew Stafford was forced into too many face-to-face meetings with the Giants' pass rushers last week. The Lions have to keep their ironman QB upright because, well, Jake Rudock and Matt Cassel aren't starters.): http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000950064/article/what-to-watch-for-in-week-3-of-the-nfl-preseason
