“Well, he’s versatile,” Campbell said. “He can play the guard, he can play tackle – he did both of those at LSU. He can sustain blocks, he’s got power, he’s pretty tenacious, he finishes. There’s a lot of things that we like about him. He’s going to need reps.”
Frazier didn’t allow a single sack last season for the Tigers in 13 starts. In fact, he allowed only four sacks in three seasons as part of LSU’s ‘bomb squad’ offensive line unit.
The Lions are dealing with several injuries upfront along their offensive line. Mahogany is out until at least late December at left guard with a broken bone in his left leg. Both tackles Taylor Decker and Penei Sewell are dealing with injuries and missed practice Wednesday.
Getting a versatile player like Frazier back in the mix could help Detroit’s depth at both spots.
Frazier got reps Wednesday at both guard spots and right tackle, and said he’s ready to step in wherever the Lions might need him.
“Since I was 5, I’ve been playing football and this is the only time I’ve been out since that whole time,” Frazier said Wednesday. “It’s a humbling experience. I’m just trying to take it day by day and correct stuff. I just need the most reps possible I can get. I’m willing to play whatever. Wherever the team needs me. Wherever coach Campbell needs me, I’m ready.”
