NFL returns to Fox after pandemic postponement
Fox NFL analyst Chris Spielman on what he expects from the return of the NFL.
The Detroit Lions' signing of Adrian Peterson had at least one player over the moon.
Lions center Frank Ragnow said Monday he was “freaking out” after the team had signed Peterson. Ragnow said the veteran running back was one of his favorite players growing up.

“I was freaking out so much," Ragnow said. "What year was he drafted, what was it like (2007) or something like that? I think I got a jersey right when he entered the league and I remember, A.D., All Day baby. I remember him running for 296 (yards) vs. the Chargers. I mean, wild. Just wild. I can’t even describe it. My family’s freaking out, all my friends back home are freaking out. It’s pretty cool,” Ragnow said, according to the Detroit Free Press.
Ragnow said he introduced himself as Frank but had to keep his fan emotions in check.
Detroit drafted Ragnow in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft out of Arkansas. He’s originally from Victoria, Minn.
