Lions News: Frank Ragnow reacts to Taylor Decker’s new contract

Frank Ragnow and Taylor Decker have been through a lot. So Ragnow couldn’t have been more thrilled for Decker’s contract extension.

Besides all the winning, one of the most notable changes in Detroit Lions culture is how much the players support each other, at least outwardly.

I’m not saying players in the past haven’t been there for each other, but it seems to be on a whole new level these days, especially publicly. I mean:

You can’t get through an interview with a player without them complimenting another teammate. So when I see yet another example of this, I gotta talk about it. Sitting down one-on-one at training camp, FOX 2’s Dan Miller asks star center Frank Ragnow what it meant to see the Lions sign fellow lineman Taylor Decker to a new deal.

“I can’t say enough about the guy,” Ragnow said. “Since day 1, since the day I walked in the door, he’s been an incredible teammate and became an incredible friend. Works his freaking tail off, tough as nails. I mean we’ve been through the thick and the thin, I’m just so happy his work has been rewarded.”

You can watch the full video above, which also includes Ragnow explaining why he invested in Garage Beer, co-owned by the Kelce brothers. I can’t get over the tagline: “Beer flavored beer.”

And onto the rest of your notes.

• Some CBS Sports articles that feature plenty of Lions — ranking divisions by running backs , ranking divisions by quarterbacks , and a list of the top NFL duos.

• The Athletic is putting together an NFL stadium guide and is looking for fan input. What’s the can’t-miss food at Ford Field? Or the “best bang for your buck” seating section? Could be a good resource when you’re following the boys on the road, too.

• A fantastic addition to the preseason broadcasting squad.

• I’m sorry but between Ben Johnson, Dan Campbell, Aaron Glenn, Brad Holmes, and so many others, could you have a more personable regime? I don’t think so.
