Thursday morning’s article from Al.com reminded me of some notable quotes from linebacker Reggie Ragland first obtained by Terez Paylor of the Kansas City Star back in early January.
Remember Ragland’s history—he was selected by the Buffalo Bills in the second round at No. 41 overall in the 2016 NFL Draft, then tore his ACL in training camp, missing his entire rookie season. The Chiefs traded a fourth-rounder for Ragland in late August of 2017, essentially making that year his rookie season.
Ragland started slow but improved as it went on, and he earned more playing time because of it.
