Ex. Razorback Motivates Coaches and Team Members
The former Razorback had a sprained ankle and knee but managed to play until the NFC Divisional round. He never did emerge, though. Rather, Ragnow was instrumental in helping the Lions defeat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 31–23 on Sunday. After the game, when questioned about Ragnow, Lions offensive lineman Taylor Decker showed signs of emotion.
“Man, the guy is just a warrior,” a distraught Decker remarked.”He has experienced it firsthand. He has experienced it as a member of our team. The man is a fighter, and since he constantly seems to be battling through pain, there was never any doubt that even after he was hurt today, he would play and battle.
“I think he’s a little anxious about not being out there with us. We have experienced a great deal together. We are certain he will be outside if he is able to do so. Furthermore, he is the finest center in football.He is really important to us.
Ragnow hasn’t always had it easy in Detroit, as the team endured hardships before Dan Campbell was brought on board.The players adore their coach, the Lions, and Ragnow expresses gratitude for the work he accomplishes.
In the instant aftermath of the victory over Tampa, Ragnow declared, “He’s the best leader I’ve ever been around by far.” He genuinely cares about his guys. The same person each and every day.I have so much to say about him. He is the real deal!
The media was informed by Campbell that the Lions have the greatest center in the NFL, to which Ragnow dismissed his compliments for his coach. Detroit was supposed to play with the big guys, according to Campbell. That implies participating in a Super Bowl, something that no other Lions squad has accomplished.
“With that group of guys, we’re heading to the NFC Championship Game, all right,” Campbell remarked. They also play football and adore the game. They appreciate their teammates for that reason alone, and nothing else.And you know, you can achieve some pretty amazing things when you can care more about the person sitting next to you than about yourself, and that’s where this group is right now.
It’s interesting to note that a group of hardworking, blue-collar men put together the culture of Motor City. a mirror of its head coach and elite athletes such as Ragnow.
