Taylor Decker is an expert on continuity, or what a lack of it, can mean for an offensive line.

In four seasons as the Detroit Lions’ starting left tackle, Decker has played next to four different primary left guards.

When Decker broke into the NFL in 2016, he had Laken Tomlinson by his side. Graham Glasgow took over as the Lions’ primary starter at left guard in 2017, then moved to center to make room for Frank Ragnow in 2018.
