Possibly the brightest of those bright spots was rookie running back Kerryon Johnson who rushed for 641 yards on only 114 carries (5.4 ypc) in 10 games (7 starts).

One of the biggest takeaways from Johnson’s presser is how funny he is and how we need to hear more Kerryon Johnson!!!

He went on a long Game of Thrones explanation.
