Arkansas OL Frank Ragnow had a great offseason and did everything he needed to do to work his way into the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft, where he was chosen with the No. 20 overall pick by the Detroit Lions.
He didn’t allow a sack his entire college career, living up to expectations set for him by his former coach, Bret Bielema.
On Sunday, Ragnow shared a tweet that quoted Bielema as saying he thought Ragnow could be a first-round pick even when he was only entering his sophomore year:
Ragnow’s father sent him that text message with the tweet back in 2015, but sadly passed away from a heart attack in 2016, so this message means all that much more to the former Razorback.
Though Ragnow going in the first round may have caught some by surprise, Jon Ragnow and Bret Bielema knew this day was coming all the way back in 2015.
