The Detroit Lions traded David Montgomery for cap space and brought in Isiah Pacheco — a two-time Super Bowl champ with a rugged, downhill running style — to pair with Jahmyr Gibbs. While Montgomery’s nine-figure contract and backup role made him expendable, Pacheco’s injury-riddled past two seasons raise questions about his health and consistency. But with over 800 yards as a rookie and key roles in KC’s championship runs, he’s got the pedigree to thrive under pressure. The Lions’ system fits his aggressive game, but Sione Vaki is emerging as a serious contender for the No. 2 RB spot — making this a battle to watch all season.
