With the Detroit Lions' 2025 season getting further into the rearview mirror, it's time to evaluate the season that was with final position grades.
"Comparatively, I'm healthier than I've ever been," Lions center Frank Ragnow said recently. "That's a blessing."
The Detroit Lions were predicted to take a page out of last year's NFL Draft playbook in the first two rounds of this year's draft.
Ragnow has been through the wringer over the last couple of years. But he's feeling "healthier than ever" entering this offseason.
The Detroit Lions' offensive line is the engine that makes the muscle-car offense zip, which means an offseason of rebuilding that line is key.
Detroit also double-dipped in last year's Draft, drafting tackle Giovanni Manu in the fourth round and guard Christian Mahogany in the sixth. Manu was inactive all season, while Mahogany wound up starting two games, including the Divisional Round contest against Washington.
Offensive line coach Hank Fraley, considered a potential offensive coordinator the Chicago Bears, is set to stay put with the Detroit Lions.
The Lions have 7 players slated to participate in this week's Pro Bowl games, including Taylor Decker, Jared Goff and Jahmyr Gibbs
The Detroit Lions won a franchise-record 15 games this season but lost their playoff opener to the Washington Commanders.
Hank Fraley will remain in Detroit and has been promoted, according to reports. In addition to his offensive line coach duties, he now will also have the title of run game coordinator.
In leading the Lions’ offense as their coordinator for the last three years, new Bears head coach Ben Johnson enjoyed success in large part due to Detroit’s stout offensive line.
DETROIT (WYXZ) — Veteran Lions tackle Taylor Decker has been added to the Pro Bowl roster for the first time in his career. The team announced Monday that Decker is replacing Sewell, who is unable to participate in the Pro Bowl Games due to an undisclosed injury.
