Who's a name on offense that has been a bright spot this season, and someone who is primed to be a focal part of the offense in 2021 and beyond?
TP: A couple of bright spots are the Pro Bowl players for the Lions. Tight end T.J. Hockenson has had a great year, and it's a well-deserved bid for him. He has been a total bright spot with almost 700 yards with a game left to play. He's been really involved in this offense, and a big target for Stafford, especially in the red zone.
Another would be center Frank Ragnow, who is from Minnesota. He's had a fantastic year and has played so, so well and has been in the conversation for best centers around the league. Unfortunately, he had that throat injury, which just sounds brutal to me. We don't know whether he's going to play in the finale, but he's just been fantastic.
So Ragnow and Hockenson are bright spots, but someone to watch is D'Andre Swift. The rookie running back has really stepped in … the Lions had a running-back-by-committee approach early on when they were giving more carries to Adrian Peterson. But as Swift came along, they gave more carries to him.
The game the Lions played Washington and Swift started, he went off, but unfortunately ended up getting a concussion the following week and didn't play for a few games. It was a bummer for him to come on and then get sidelined, but we've still seen good stuff from him when he's gotten back in there.
