For the first time since Detroit Lions center Frank Ragnow announced his retirement at 29, coach Dan Campbell spoke with the media. Campbell spoke glowingly of Ragnow's contributions to the team and revealed the decision didn't exactly catch the team off guard.

Dan Campbell lauded Frank Ragnow on Thursday with an emotional tribute days after the Lions center’s shocking retirement at the age of 29. “Frank’s been unbelievable. Teammate, football player, man of the community. He’s done it all,” the Detroit head coach said at a press conference, his voice cracking with emotion.

"And the other thing is quite frankly, some of the stuff about contract talk, that’s disrespectful. That’s not what this was ever about. Anyway, love you, Frank. Appreciate you.”
