Detroit Lions OC focuses on young offensive line during OTAs

Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Drew Petzing is focusing on a group of young offensive linemen during OTAs. With Tate Ratledge and Christian Mahogany having made several starts, and first-round pick Blake Miller expected to start at right tackle, Petzing emphasizes learning and communication as vital areas of development. The Lions are conducting OTA practices until June 11, before transitioning to mandatory minicamp the following week. Petzing notes that without the ability to have live contact, the team is working on processing and assignment details to ensure the offensive line functions effectively.
