Allen Park — The Detroit Lions were heavily represented in the fan portion of the Pro Bowl vote this year, but after coach and peer ballots were tallied, only one Lions player ended up making the cut: center Frank Ragnow.
While a disappointment on the whole, given 10 Lions players finished among the top 10 at their positions with fans, it's a remarkable accomplishment for Ragnow, who has been playing through a painful foot injury since the early stages of the season.
"When you watch the tape every week and coach (Hank) Fraley and I we’re both just amazed with what he’s able to do right now — and honestly, I think when you talk to him, he feels like he’s not even hitting his standard or his mark," offensive coordinator Ben Johnson said.
