Kenny Golladay, wide receiver
To talk about how good Kenny Golladay‘s been for the Lions, one would have to start making up words. After posting 28 receptions for 477 yards and three touchdowns as a rookie, he improved to snag 70 receptions for 1,063 yards and five touchdowns in year two.
His teammates call him ‘Baby Tron’. He’s already visited the end zone twice in 2019. Pay very close attention to him on Sunday.
Kerryon Johnson, running back
Part of the reason that the Eagles’ first two opponents have had success through the air is that they’ve had to. Philly’s been pretty stout versus the run.
Well, Kerryon Johnson figures to test the theory of whether or not that’s a sign of how good Philly’s rushing defense is versus whether or not the Washington Redskins and Atlanta Falcons are going to exhibit potent rushing attacks in 2019. He’s only had 28 carries and an average of 3.8 yards per carry in 2019, but he could explode at any time.
The Eagles figure to see plenty of him and Ty Johnson on Sunday.
