Detroit Lions rookie right guard Tate Ratledge has found himself as a starting offensive linemen for the team after a great camp and brief preseason showing, and now, he's earning the trust of the Lions' top brass to eventually take over at center for the team.
In a press conference following a whirlwind week of cuts, waivings, and practice squad assembly, general manager Brad Holmes and head coach Dan Campbell told reporters that Ratledge has become their long term solution at center.
As fans know, Ratledge was in a friendly competition with Graham Glasgow in camp for the role of starting center after the shocking retirement of Frank Ragnow.
