Joy in Detroit lions as they sign a Superb Offensive lineman

Joy in Detroit lions as they sign a Superb Offensive lineman.

Monday night saw the Detroit Lions reaching an agreement with veteran

guard Kevin Zeitler on a one-year contract. Expected to assume a starting role, likely at right guard, Zeitler’s

addition bolsters the Lions’ offensive line, providing a potential starting five following the departure of Jonah Jackson in free agency.

With 12 years of NFL experience under his belt, Zeitler brings a wealth of knowledge to Detroit. His impressive

career includes 181 starts, ranking him 13th among all active NFL players, as per Pro Football Reference (excluding Jason Kelce and Fletcher Cox).

The acquisition of Zeitler aligns with various team needs, garnering

significant national acclaim for the Lions even before the terms of the deal are disclosed.

Let’s explore some immediate reactions to the addition on Twitter, starting with insights from former NFL quarterback

Robert Griffin III, who highlights the veteran guard’s character as a perfect fit for Dan Campbell and the Lions.

Absolutely love this move. Brad Holmes is exceptional at managing as a GM.

— Brad Spielberger, Esq.

This signing is perfect. The Lions have handled their offensive line situation flawlessly this offseason.

— Jon Ledyard

Kevin Zeitler has had a career worthy of a Ring of Honor induction, although it’s divided among five teams, making it unlikely.

— Goodberry

I must admit, I’m envious of the Detroit Lions’ offensive line right now:

LT – Taylor Decker

LG – Graham Glasgow

C – Frank Ragnow

RG – Kevin Zeitler

RT – Penei Sewell

That’s a formidable group.

— Pedro H. Rhormes

The Lions are building impressive depth and positioning themselves to select the best available players in the draft.

— Steve Palazzolo

Here’s some high praise, along with a five-minute clip of Brian Baldinger analyzing Zeitler’s performance:

Kevin Zeitler’s signing with DET is outstanding. His pass block grades as a Raven were consistently among the top

in the league, and he’s been remarkably durable, starting in over 15 games for nine consecutive years.
