Lions' Frank Ragnow, Jack Fox earn All-Pro honors

The Lions didn’t land a player on the Associated Press All-Pro first team for the third consecutive season. But center Frank Ragnow and punter Jack Fox both received second-team honors Friday, marking the first All-Pro honors for both.

Ragnow, a 2018 first-round pick, established himself as one of the league’s best centers this season, making the Pro Bowl for the first time. Ragnow, who missed two games late in the season due to a fractured throat, allowed just nine pressures in 929 snaps, grading out as the NFL’s second-best center behind Green Bay’s Corey Linsley, according to Pro Football Focus. Linsley earned first-team AP honors Friday, while Ragnow shared the second-team nod with the Colts' Ryan Kelly.  

Fox, an undrafted second-year pro who won a training camp battle for the Lions’ starting job in September, ranked second in the NFL in net punting with a franchise-record 44.8-yard average. The league leader, New England’s Jake Bailey, earned first-team All-Pro honors. Fox was named NFC special teams player of the month after his first four games to start the season, and went on to become only the third punter in franchise history to make the Pro Bowl — the first since Jim Arnold in 1988.  

The Lions’ last first-team All-Pro selections were cornerback Darius Slay and returner Jamal Agnew in 2017.
