Don’t hold it against him, but Frank Ragnow has been a Minnesota Vikings fan since he was a child. Growing up less than 30 miles away from Minneapolis, the Detroit Lions center remembers wearing an Adrian Peterson jersey shortly after the All-Pro running back was drafted to the Vikings in 2007.
At the time, Ragnow was 10 years old. Now—13 year later—he’s going to be blocking for Peterson, and he’s admittedly a little awestruck.
“I was literally asking the o-line room this past day how I should introduce myself, because I was freaking out so much,” Ragnow told Detroit media on Monday.
