The former fourth round pick in 2009 by the Packers, Lang has started 94 of the 119 games he’s played while earning himself Pro Bowl honors this past season.
Lang is certainly one of the high-end tackles in the League grading out as a flat 87 in Pro Football Focus’ player grading system. He’s among one of the best pass blockers in the League and provides decent run blocking ability.
If the Lions are able to sign him they very well could have one of the best offensive lines in the NFL.
However they’ll have their competition for Lang’s services. The Seahawks are in on Lang as Rapoport mentioned while Green Bay is still looking to bring him back.
