When you hear coaches speak about a player’s abilities, one thing that is sure to come up is how versatile their skillset is. Can they play multiple positions? And in most cases, if the answer is yes, it’s usually a big positive.
However, there are rare instances in which that versatility can actually work against a player. Just ask Detroit Lions’ offensive lineman Graham Glasgow. Justin Rogers of The Detroit News spoke with Glasgow ahead of Detroit’s Week 3 matchup at home against the 2-0 Atlanta Falcons.
Because Glasgow can play all three interior offensive line positions, the Lions’ coaching staff routinely asked him to replace All-Pro center Frank Ragnow as he continues to nurse a long-term toe injury.
