Last year, Price was quite possibly the worst starting center in the entire league but he had a whole host of injury issues so that played a part. It sounds like he is still dealing with injury issues, but I’m fearful that we have whiffed on center again.
I still remember all of the tOSU fans telling me he was going to be an absolute monster and anchor for years to come. Hopefully it still comes true but it’s morbidly funny to think about now. He didn’t even last a full season.
Well, like in a lot of threads, there is a whole lot of revisionist history going on in this thread. Price, Daniels and Ragnow were rated very close in the draft. Price was injured from the combine throughout the end of the season. Ragnow, meanwhile, did not even play center in Detroit, he played Guard. So this year Price is still dealing with a foot injury and Ragnow is out with a sprained ankle. Meanwhile, Hopkins did a very good job last year, and fans were wanting him to play over Price. Now, when he ups his game and gets the starter nod, people are still not happy. This is for all intents and purposes, Price's 1st year with a training camp and being able to hit the weight room. He'll crack his way back into the starting lineup. And maybe this wake up call is exactly what he needs....
