🦁 Not every breakout season comes with huge headlines—some are built in the trenches. Tate Ratledge quietly showed steady improvement during his rookie campaign, finishing the season with some of his best performances after being asked to step into a revamped offensive line. Now entering Year 2, expectations are rising. With more experience, greater confidence, and improved chemistry alongside his teammates, Ratledge has a golden opportunity to become the stabilizing force at right guard that Detroit has been searching for. His development may not dominate highlight reels, but it could have a massive impact on both the running game and quarterback protection. Could Tate Ratledge’s sophomore leap be one of the biggest reasons the Lions’ offense returns to elite form in 2026? 👀👇🦁
