Ratledge Ready to Dominate Right Guard | Detroit Lions News

Tate Ratledge is poised to take his game to the next level as a second-year starter at right guard for the Detroit Lions, building on a stellar rookie campaign where he played every snap and showed flashes of elite potential. With high expectations from Coach Dan Campbell — who praised his camp performance but stressed the need for consistency — Ratledge’s ability to execute the little things repeatedly will be key. His strong college pedigree and improved play in the second half of last season — including zero sacks allowed in his final 12 games — make him a cornerstone of the offensive line. Now, with Penei Sewell moving to left tackle, the real intrigue lies at left guard, where Christian Mahogany and rookie Juice Scruggs are battling for the starting role. The Lions’ line looks set to be anchored by Ratledge, but the competition for his side could shape the team’s offensive identity this season.
