Blake Miller takes starting role on Lions offensive line in training camp
Summary

Rookie offensive tackle Blake Miller has assumed a starting position on the Detroit Lions offensive line during training camp. After the team made significant investments in their offensive line, including drafting Miller in the first round, the rookie played all first-team reps at right tackle. Miller expressed confidence in his development and acknowledged the responsibility to perform for his teammates and the city of Detroit. This change follows a challenging year for the offensive line that saw quarterback Jared Goff suffer a career-high 38 sacks. As training camp continues, Miller will face tough competition to secure his position.
