At just 29 years old, Frank Ragnow’s retirement announcement stunned many, but for those closest to the Detroit Lions, the surprise wasn’t that he retired -- it was that his battered body had somehow allowed him to perform at an elite level for so long.

Frank Ragnow's Rags Remembered Foundation has raised nearly $200,000 this week from his charity skeet shooting event and individual donations.

The Frank Ragnow era in the Motor City has come to an end. Ragnow, who missed the Detroit Lions’ first phase of OTAs this spring, officially announced his retirement Monday. The No. 20 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft played his entire seven-year professional career in Detroit.
