Jason Huntley announces he has signed his rookie contract with the Lions

Detroit Lions fifth-round pick, running back Jason Huntley, announced on social media that he has signed his rookie contract.

The Detroit Lions have apparently signed both their 2020 fifth-round draft picks in the same afternoon. Quintez Cephus agent posted he has signed his rookie contract earlier in the day, and now running back Jason Huntley announced on social media that he has also joined the party.

Like Cephus and D’Andre Swift signing this past weekend, the Detroit Lions have yet to confirm Huntley’s signing, but assuming the paperwork goes through, the Lions currently have seven of their nine drafted rookies under contract. The only remaining picks not signed would be first-round corner Jeff Okudah and seventh-round defensive lineman Jashon Cornell, both out of Ohio State.

Terms of the deal are not immediately available, but according to OverTheCap.com’s 2020 draft pick estimates, as the 172nd pick in the draft, Huntley’s contract would be for 4-years totaling roughly $3.58 million, with a cap hit this season of $682,578 and just under $300,000 in guaranteed money.

Darrell Bevell shares thoughts on rookie RBs and why they give the Lions a ‘really competitive room’

Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell shares thoughts on the teams’ rookie running backs and why they give them a “really competitive room”.

The Detroit Lions want to establish the running game and have spent much of their offseason resources dedicated to improving in this area.

When offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell talked with the media via video conference call last week, he shared his thoughts on the teams’ rookie running backs and why they give the Lions a “really competitive room”.

The Lions have tried not to get caught up in starter labels this offseason — especially with no Spring camp to help set a depth chart — but naming a starting running back may be a moot point anyway, as the Lions appear determined to deploy a running back by committee in 2020.

Kerryon Johnson, the incumbent starter, saw seven starts in 2019 before injury, Bo Scarbrough got five, while Ty Johnson and Wes Hills each received one, and all of them return to the Lions.

But despite returning four players with starter snaps under their belt, the Lions still drafted De’Andre Swift with the 35th pick in the draft and he has drawn praise and excitement from several teammates and coaches.

[lawrence-related id=45844,43802]

“So, De’Andre Swift — we’re super excited to have him,” Bevell said in the Zoom meeting. “We feel like he is a really talented, well-rounded running back. A guy that you can feel like can handle the run game, but as well as that, he has the ability in the pass game where you can do some things with him there. So, really just a complete guy.

“To be able to add him in there with Kerryon (Johnson), with Bo (Scarbrough), such a good group there and there’s still other guys, Ty (Johnson) is there, (Jason) Huntley’s there. It’s going to be just a really competitive room and that’s what you’re trying to do at each and every position is get the room as competitive as you can and let the cream rise to the top and you’ll end up with a really good team when you’re doing that.”

Swift wasn’t the only running back the Lions selected this past draft, and while Huntley left a big impression on the Lions coaching staff due to his special teams work, he has the potential to be really special on offense.

“The biggest attraction first was his return ability,” Bevell said, “and the things he can do in the special teams game, we were trying to add to that. But then obviously as a runner, he more like a scatback style, same thing (as Jamal Agnew), you’ve got to get the ball in his hands, a dynamic runner with the ball in his hands, so that’s what you’re looking to.”

While general manager Bob Quinn has noted that Huntley “is going to be in competition with Ty Johnson”, the stylistic comparison of Huntley to Agnew by Bevell is something that shouldn’t be glossed over.

Agnew is making a position switch to offense and has been sitting in wide receiver meetings, but there is also no doubting he has the skill set to also directly compete with Huntley and Ty Johnson.

Kerryon Johnson and De’Andre Swift look locked into starter 1A and 1B roles, and Scarbrough should reclaim his role as a sledgehammer, leaving the main question centered around how many more spots can they afford to allocate to the position.

In my Establishing the 53 series of articles, I had the Lions keeping both Huntley and Ty Johnson, as well as Agnew as a receiver/returner because like Bevell said, when it comes to dynamic players: “You want those guys to have the ball in their hands because they can make plays for you.”

Exploring how Jamal Agnew’s position switch to WR impacts the Lions roster

Exploring how Jamal Agnew’s position switch from defensive back to wide receiver impacts the Detroit Lions 2020 roster.

Speculation about Detroit Lions Jamal Agnew possibly making a position switch came to the surface in a Pro Football Talk’s Peter King report on Monday. And now today, Dave Birkett of the Free Press is reporting that Agnew is indeed making a position switch from defensive back to wide receiver.

“Agnew has been attending virtual meetings with both the wide receivers and cornerbacks this spring,” Birkett said, “but the Lions plan to transition him exclusively to offense when they return to the field this summer.”

While Agnew is primarily known for his special teams return ability — he was the only player in the NFL to have a punt and kick return for a touchdown in 2019 — he has been featured on offense as a gadget player a handful of times (32 total) over his three-year career.

Last season Agnew saw 16 snaps on offense — 10 in the final week of the regular season — and all at wide receiver. The Lions apparently liked what they saw because according to Birkett, “the Lions approached him about making the conversion full time this spring.”

Agnew has shown the ability to be a weapon on special teams, but with the league moving away from special teams in the name of player safety, Agnew needed to show he can do more to get on the field.

If he can also perform as a reliable gadget option — as well as an emergency defensive back — he will make himself very valuable to a team who prioritizes versatility.

So how does Agnew’s switch impact the roster?

The first name that jumps to mind is fifth-round pick Jason Huntly, as he and Agnew are capable of being gadget players in the backfield, as well as slot options at wide receiver. But there are three things that cause me to pause in saying these two are in a pure head to head matchup. First, they play different positions, second, the Lions are desperate for speed on offense, and third, they planned on switching Agnew in the spring and still drafted Huntley, indicating they may have a plan for both.

The next name that comes to mind is the Lions other fifth-round pick wide receiver Quintez Cephus. While Agnew and Cephus play the same position, they are very different players and win in different ways — there’s also point three from above that still remains true.

But if Agnew is going to make the Lions 53-man roster on offense, it’ll be an offensive player that will have to be squeezed out.

In my latest 53-man roster projection, I examined the benefits of keeping a sixth wide receiver versus a fourth tight end and came away with undrafted rookie Hunter Bryant as my winner — based on the fact that he was an offensive weapon in the slot.

If Agnew can also prove to be an offensive weapon in the slot, while also contributing on special teams, he would push ahead of Bryant in my eyes.

With Bryant off my projection and Agnew switching sides of the ball, that creates a slot on defense — and this is an easy choice for me — as it now opens the door for safety/gunner C.J. Moore to jump back in the 53.

The opportunity is there for Agnew to expand his role and solidify a spot on the 53-man roster — now he just has to execute the plan.

Jamal Agnew sitting in on WR virtual meetings, per Peter King

Detroit Lions cornerback and returner Jamal Agnew may be expanding — or switching — positions per a Pro Football Talk’s Peter King report.

The Lions are currently in Phase 2 of their Spring offseason program, which means teams can begin installing the playbook and handing out assignments to players. Wide receiver’s coach Robert Prince is trying to make the most of his two-hour “virtual classroom” sessions by explaining the nuances of route concepts in the Lions playbook.

King was allowed access to (at least) one of these meetings and a picture of a meeting was taken, which he published in his piece:

Photo credit to Peter King and Pro Football Talk.

Prince can be seen in the highlighted yellow box, as are all 11 of the Lions wide receivers, with Agnew (second row, far right) also in attendance.

The Lions including Agnew in this meeting isn’t overly unusual as they have used him as an offensive gadget player since he was drafted in 2017, including last year when he saw an additional 16 offensive snaps all coming at wide receiver.

But what stood out in the King piece was that he identified Agnew as “converted DB” — suggesting he was switching to the offensive side of the ball on a more permanent basis.

Now this could just be speculation by King, or maybe he is privy to some behind-the-scenes information of Agnew indeed making a position switch, but unfortunately, we likely won’t get a clear answer until fall training camp.

Regardless of his position title, Agnew’s inclusion in this meeting is notable as it points to the Lions — and Agnew — looking to find ways he can contribute this season.

Establishing the 53: Rounding out the Lions’ backfield

Examining the Detroit Lions running backs room to determine how many players from this group could make the 53-man roster.

We are a long way from NFL training camps and even further from the regular season, but it’s never to early to examine and speculate about the Detroit Lions roster. Currently, the Lions have 90-players on their roster, and come September, there will likely be some difficult decisions to make when determining their final 53-players.

This article is the first in a new series of articles at Lions Wire called “establishing the 53”, where we will be examining a Lions’ position group, predicting the Lions’ strategy, and projecting the players who have an inside track for the regular-season roster.

In this piece, we will take a deeper look at the Lions’ running backs.

Easy decisions at the top of the RB group

The Lions have a clear 1-2 punch combo at the top of their running backs group after returning starter Kerryon Johnson and drafting D’Andre Swift in the second-round (pick 35 overall). The only debate involving these two will be over which one starts.

Erik’s prediction: Johnson and Swift make the 53, Johnson starts Week 1

1st down thumper

While K.Johnson and Swift are capable of playing on all three downs, the Lions want to rely on an early-down thumper, and the fact that they didn’t add one in the offseason, speaks volumes about how they feel about Bo Scarbrough. Unless his production falls off a cliff in the pre-season, the smart money is on him beginning the regular season as RB3.

Wes Hills will also challenge for this role but he is still rough around the edges and was outperformed by Scarbrough in 2019. He has NFL potential and his talent is worth continuing to develop but he may need more time.

Erik’s prediction: Scarbrough makes the 53, Hills to the practice squad

Will the Lions keep four or five RBs?

If the Lions only keep four running backs there will be a strong camp battle between last year’s sixth-round draft pick Ty Johnson and this year’s fifth-round draft pick Jason Huntley.

Let’s take a look at their athletic profiles:

	Height	Weight	40-yard-dash	Burst score
Ty Johnson	5106	213	4.4	120.15
Jason Huntley	5084	182	4.4	132.65

Both can burn up the turf, catch passes, and are capable kick returners — something an RB4/5 needs to be able to do to make the back end of a roster.

The first big advantage for T. Johnson has over Huntley is his deceptive size. He has proven he can hold up in the NFL, his year experience (63 rushes and 24 receptions) cannot be undervalued, and his improvement as the season progressed is worth noting.

CJ Anderson's release suggests the Lions have confidence in Ty Johnson and flashes like this make it easy to see why. Does a good job of allowing his lead block to develop and demonstrates very good body control, explosiveness, and footwork to get north-south off this slalom cut. pic.twitter.com/RAwwWnMQw0

Meanwhile, Huntley is roughly the same size at J.D. McKissic but faster and more explosive. Huntley can step right into the role McKissic has last season as a jitterbug runner with dynamic pass-catching skills out of the backfield (he had 134 career catches at NMST), while also legitimately challenging Jamal Agnew for kick return duties (he had five kick off returns for touchdowns in college).

Erik’s prediction: Lions keep five backs, both T. Johnson and Huntley make the 53

Erik’s Reasoning

Five backs may seem like a lot but you don’t draft four running backs in three years — two in the second-round at that — unless you plan on using them. The Lions are also a team desperate to establish the run, have injury concerns with several of their top options, and Swift/Huntley’s elite pass-catching skills will allow the Lions to potentially go with fewer bodies at other offensive skill positions.

Lions Mailbag: Rookie roles and available free agents

The Detroit Lions have had an eventful offseason.

Free agency and the draft are over, which leaves us all speculating over what the roster will look like come September.

Lions fans submitted their questions about roles rookies will hold, depth chart predictions, and available free agents. Here’s what I had to say:

“Can Huntley and Ty Johnson both stick on the Lions? Who will go if they both do? Or could either one of them survive to be put on the practice squad without being picked up?” -@SFHCommish_1

The Lions’ front office will have a lot of tough choices to make when it comes to the running back position.

2020 fifth-round pick Jason Huntley is in direct competition with Ty Johnson, who was selected in the sixth round last year. Both are speedy options in the backfield, capable receivers, and dynamic kick returners.

Both are young players with plenty of upside and athletic ability, so it’s likely, but not certain, that Detroit opts to keep both on the active roster. What would that mean for the other running backs on the team?

Detroit generally decides to run with four running backs on their active roster, and Kerryon Johnson and D’Andre Swift appear to have the top two running back spots locked down. That would most likely leave Huntley and Ty Johnson to fight it out for one of those spots, while Bo Scarborough and Wes Hills duke it out for the backup power running back role.

If the Lions waive either Huntley or Johnson, I can’t say with full certainty that either will clear waivers, but generally, most players that are let go at the deadline for roster cutdowns don’t get picked up from the waiver wire. If they make it through, expect them back on the practice squad.

”I’m wondering how you think the Lions backfield will operate this season? Do you see Swift coming in and taking over as the lead back?” -@TheFootballPot

I see the 2020 season opening up with Kerryon Johnson and D’Andre Swift sharing snaps evenly, and hopefully pairing well as a tandem. The Lions have favored the committee approach to their backfield, so these two players will both get their fair share of snaps.

As I stated in my previous answer, it is safe to say that the Lions will operate with four running backs on their roster. We know that Johnson and Swift have pretty defined roles as of now, but I can see Swift overtaking Johnson on the depth chart mid-season.

While Johnson has played fairly well for the Lions in his first two seasons, injuries have kept him sidelined for a good fraction of his career. Swift, who has stayed relatively healthy throughout college, could prove to be the more reliable option.

Johnson was also drafted to fit the scheme of former offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter, while Swift was drafted with Darrell Bevell’s gameplan in mind. This could lead to Swift taking that lead spot away from Johnson quickly.

The remaining competitions, as stated earlier, will be Ty Johnson versus Jason Huntley for the speedy receiving option and Bo Scarborough versus Wes Hills for the power and goal-line option.

“What potential DL FA’s could the Lions potentially target to bolster the line, if any are better than what’s on the roster?” -@IGRifffinsports

The Lions’ interior defensive line seems set with Danny Shelton at nose tackle and Da’Shawn Hand playing the three-technique role. Behind them is Nick Williams, who will serve as a rotational lineman.

Behind them, it’s an open competition for the final spots. The Lions did just draft two interior linemen, John Penisini and Jashon Cornell, and have several other young players in Olive Sagapolu, Kevin Strong, John Atkins, and Frank Herron to consider.

If they decide to find an experienced free agent, the best player available at the position is Mike Daniels, who played for the Lions last season. Daniels would be an instant upgrade over any of the aforementioned players in the hunt for a roster spot, and he knows the defensive system already. Especially now, when many teams will go into the season with less time for team activities, an experienced player who knows the scheme is a luxury.

Other than Daniels, the defensive tackle market is pretty bare. Still on the market are Marcel Darius, Damion Square, Domata Peko, and Corey Liuget.

“It’s the first defensive snap of the season. Is Okudah lining up across from Allen Robinson?” -@DunnGuitar

You don’t draft a player with the third overall pick unless you plan to use them immediately.

That being said, the Lions have not seen what Jeffrey Okudah can do at a professional level. So when it comes time to cover a dominant receiver like Allen Robinson, Detroit’s coaching staff might want to use a more experienced and proven player like Desmond Trufant.

Obviously, things can change over the course of a season, but Okudah is a rookie in a position where players often struggle in their first year. He’ll be a definite starter, but won’t be shadowing any team’s top receiver in his first few games.

”Jonah Jackson has a lot of praise but at the surface his draft measurable strong are similar to last year’s UDFA Benzschawel. What’s the difference between the two and why is Jonah viewed as a possible starter over Beau?” -@TheRealShobear

The biggest difference between the two players is that the Detroit Lions organization valued one as a third-round pick just a season after signing the other as an undrafted free agent.

Benzschawel has the size advantage over Jackson and had better Combine numbers in several events, but on tape, Jackson appears to be the superior player.

The Lions liked Benzschawel to keep him around on the active roster for the entirety of the 2019 season, but his snap counts during the season prove that the team is not ready for him to hold a starting role. He only was active for two games throughout a season riddled with interior offensive line injuries, and only played two snaps on special teams.

Jackson seems to be the clear starter at right guard, and Joe Dahl holds the left guard role for now. Benzschawel could fight for that spot, but he’d be in competition with fourth-round pick Logan Stenberg, as well as veteran former starters Kenny Wiggins, Russell Bodine, Joshua Garnett, and Oday Aboushi. I’d put my money on any of those players earning the starting role over Benzschawel.

QIB study of Lions draft class points to an expansion in offensive philosophy

When using Quinn Influenced Benchmarks (QIB) to examine the Detroit Lions 2020 draft class, there appears to be a shift happening on offense.

Quinn Influenced Benchmarks (QIB) — the study of Detroit Lions general manager Bob Quinn’s draft tendencies — has been a staple of Lions Wire draft coverage for the last few seasons, but with the COVID pandemic canceling Pro Days, the process and available data took a massive hit.

As the world adjusts to the changing environment, so does QIB.

Here, we take a slightly modified look at the athletic markers produced by the offensive players in Lions 2020 Draft/UDFA class and apply practical reasoning to predict any changes in the Lions approach to player acquisition or scheme changes for the upcoming season.

Lions add speed to an explosive backfield

D’Andre Swift (2nd) and Jason Huntley (5th)

Explosivity (Burst rate) has always been a targeted trait at running back but in a trend that started last year with Ty Johnson, Quinn has begun adding a speed element (40-yard-dash) into the equation.

Note: NFL Top-30 RB 40 y/d average is 4.54, while a burst score of 120 is above-average and 130 is elite.

	Height	Weight	40	Burst rate
Kerryon Johnson	5114	213	4.52	131.00
D’Andre Swift	5082	212	4.48	120.85
Bo Scarbrough	6013	228	4.52	132.50
Ty Johnson	5106	213	4.4	120.15
Jason Huntley	5084	182	4.4	132.65
Wes Hills	6005	209	N/A	N/A

QIB has previously factored in running backs agility scores (3-cone and short shuttle) but only K. Johnson and Huntly tested in this area, and their scores were just average, which indicates a decreased level of importance on the QIB scale.

Athletically, the Lions were already above average at the position, but with the six backs on the roster, the Lions have two with every-down potential (K. Johnson and Swift), two speed/kick returner options (T. Johnson and Huntley), and two power-based runners (Scarbrough and Hills). Add in the fact that K. Johnson, Swift, and Huntley are above-average pass-catchers, and the Lions have a variety of backs who can play in multiple situations.

While the Lions recent run scheme has focused on inside zone runs, both rookie backs have the speed to get to the edge, and home-run potential, which should open up the types of blocking schemes available to offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell.

Lions took advantage of scouting the few pro days that took place in 2020

Wisconsin and New Mexico State got their pro days in and the Lions took advantage

The college pro day circuit was just getting started when the coronavirus pandemic struck. Nearly every school was forced to cancel the workout exhibition that promotes its players to the gathered NFL scouts, coaches and GMs.

Two of the few schools that did get pro days in before the pandemic were New Mexico State and Wisconsin. The Detroit Lions were one of the few NFL teams to attend both of those pro days.

Detroit’s diligence paid off. The Lions selected WR Quintez Cephus from Wisconsin and RB Jason Huntley from New Mexico Stsate on Day 3 of the 2020 NFL Draft.

Cephus was prominent enough that the Lions would have had legit interest, pro day or not. But traveling to Las Cruces on March 10th proved fateful for the Lions in unearthing Huntley, who was not invited to the NFL Scouting Combine.

Huntley put on a show for the Lions and the 14 other teams in attendance.

Huntley emerged as one of the highest-drafted players that were not at the combine. His impressive pro day and the Lions being present for it paid off for both parties.

#OnePride Q/A: Fan reactions to the Lions’ 2020 draft class

We asked #OnePride nation how they felt of the Detroit Lions’ 2020 draft class ranging from favorite player to biggest reach

With the 2020 draft in the books, we are inching closer to the training camps and getting to see the drafted players in action.

Many analysts and fans gave the Detroit Lions glowing reviews on their draft haul, as they addressed many of their most significant weaknesses, but to get an even deep look at fan’s perspectives, we at Lions Wire gauged the #OnePride fanbase’s thoughts on the Lions’ draft class via Twitter polls.

Favorite pick?

#OnePride fan Q/A by @thelionswire: This week we will be getting a feel how fans thought of the #Lions draft class.

Outside of Okudah, who was your favorite pick?

Please RT to reach Lions fans near and far. Looking forward to hearing questions and comments

— Zack Moran (@ZackMoran45) April 27, 2020

Zack’s take: I omitted Jeff Okudah because I wanted to get thoughts outside of the first round.

This was tight back-and-forth between D’Andre Swift and Julian Okwara, but eventually Swift ran away with it. This result really shouldn’t be overly surprising as many fans were begging for a running back early and even general manager Bob Quinn was excited Swift was still on the board in the second round.

Swift will look to be a compliment with Kerryon Johnson in the backfield and give Matthew Stafford a new dynamic weapon. I was surprised the Lions took a running back this early, but after seeing what they did later in the draft, the more this pick made sense.

Least favorite pick?

— Zack Moran (@ZackMoran45) April 28, 2020

Zack’s take: After the Lions drafted Jonah Jackson and Logan Stenberg at guard along with Swift earlier, the Lions focus on improving the running game was evident. Most thought they were finished, but Quinn doubled down on running back in the fifth round by selecting Jason Huntley.

Adding Huntley did feel like a luxury pick but Quinn is always looking for competition amongst the roster and Huntley will likely compete with Ty Johnson at running back and possibly Jamal Agnew on returns.

Best value?

#OnePride fan Q/A by @thelionswire: This week we will be getting a feel how fans thought of the #Lions draft class.

Who would you consider the pick with the best value?

Please RT to reach Lions fans near and far. Looking forward to hearing questions and comments

— Zack Moran (@ZackMoran45) April 29, 2020

Zack’s take: After rarely addressing the pass rush in previous drafts, Quinn tagged EDGE Julian Okwara in the third round. If it wasn’t for Okwara breaking his leg last season, expectations were he would have gone significantly sooner. Luckily for the Lions, he dropped, making Quinn a happy man.

Okwara was PFF’s No. 28 overall player, and the Lions were able to land him with the 67th overall pick, nabbing one of the better value picks in the draft.

Fun fact: Using PFF’s big board, the best value pick for the Lions wasn’t Okwara, it was John Penisini, who was their 104th overall player, and the Lions selected him at pick 197.

Biggest reach?

Zack’s take: It was challenging to nitpick the Lions draft class. Up and down, the Lions seemed to nail value with position needs with their selections. Some would’ve preferred to wait on running back, but as the draft progressed, running backs quickly became a hot commodity on Day 2. Doubling up on guard was a head-scratcher at first, but with a focus on the running game, the Lions needed maulers. As I mentioned before, as the draft progressed, it was clear Quinn had a plan in mind and executed it almost flawlessly.

The player that got a few mentions as a possible reach was Huntley for the same reasons that were mentioned above. Beyond that, the majority agreed the Lions got players who fit perfectly into the plan both Quinn and coach Matt Patricia were looking to execute.

Keep your eyes open for future questions. We would love to hear your thoughts. If you have any questions, you’d like to see answered, send a message, or leave a comment with your question. Thank you to all Lions fans and the #OnePride nation.
