In today’s NFL, it’s not often that a team’s best player is their center. It isn’t the most heralded position, and it certainly isn’t one of the more glamorous. But make no mistake about it — All-Pro center Frank Ragnow is the best football player on the Detroit Lions.
He can do just about anything you can ask of a center in the modern day NFL. He is powerful in the run game, punishing defenders up until the whistle blows. He is an excellent pass protector, and as the center, is responsible for identifying changes in the defense pre-snap and making the necessary calls to the rest of the unit.
