On Friday morning, Detroit Lions assistant general manager Ray Agnew mentioned that he was excited about second-round pick Tate Ratledge’s versatility on the interior offensive line.
“The first thing you see, this is a big man when you see him. He’s long, tall, big man. But you love the versatility of the player. He can play multiple positions inside and the interior,” Agnew said.
A couple hours later, Lions media saw exactly what he meant by that, as Ratledge began 11-on-11 walkthroughs as the team’s starting center. Later, he would kick over to right guard with undrafted rookie Leif Fautanu taking over center duties.
