Tate Ratledge

24-Year-Old GuardOG
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Ratledge was selected in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft after spending his collegiate career at Georgia. He figures to replace Kevin Zeitler as the Lions' starting right guard this season after Zeitler, who started 16 regular-season games in 2024, signed with the Titans in free agency.

Lions add Round 2 OL help
OGDetroit Lions
April 25, 2025
The Lions selected Ratledge in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 57th overall.
ANALYSIS
Ratledge (6-foot-7, 308 pounds) has a frame better suited to tackle but lacks the arms (32 and 1/4 inches) to play the position. The Lions were evidently not concerned about Ratledge maintaining leverage against shorter defensive linemen, and if they're correct in their assessment, there aren't many other weaknesses in his game. Ratledge was a productive starter at Georgia and his athleticism is of blue-chip quality (4.97-second 40-yard dash, 32-inch vertical jump, 113-inch broad jump, 7.38-second three-cone drill), so he will presumably compete for the starting right guard role in Detroit.

Could take over as starting center
OGDetroit Lions
June 2, 2025
Ratledge could become the Lions' new starting center in the wake of Frank Ragnow's retirement, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Selected in the second round of the 2025 Draft, Ratledge was originally penciled into a starting spot at right guard, but Ragnow hanging up his cleats changes the complexion of the Detroit offensive line. Ratledge has been getting reps at center in OTAs along with veteran Graham Glasgow, and the duo could continue the job battle into training camp.
