Tate Ratledge<\/a> will be in the building when the Lions start their training camp in full this weekend. According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz<\/a>, the Lions have agreed to terms with their rookie offensive lineman.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Like many teams around the league, the second rounder represented the Lions\u2019 only unsigned draft pick. Detroit\u2019s rookies reported to training camp yesterday.<\/p>\n

Ratledge was the 57th pick in this year\u2019s draft following an illustrious college career at Georgia. He established himself as a starter in 2022, and he was part of the championship-winning squads in 2023 and 2024. The lineman earned All-SEC and All-American nods in each of his final two seasons with the Bulldogs.<\/p>\n

Ratledge exclusively played right guard in college, and there\u2019s a chance he sticks at either one of the guard positions during the 2025 campaign. The rookie will also compete to replace the retired Frank Ragnow<\/a> at center. While Ratledge didn\u2019t play the position in college, he served as Georgia\u2019s backup center in practices. The rookie was also spotted snapping for the Lions during spring practices, per Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press<\/a>.<\/p>\n
