  • Was moved immediately to guard upon being drafted in the fourth round in 2007 despite playing his entire college career at tackle
  • Along with fellow guard and teammate Daryn Colledge, still considered a possible left tackle of the future and heir apparent to veteran Chad Clifton, now entering his 10th year
  • Was a four-year starter at Missouri Southern, moving into a starting role midway through his freshman season and starting 36 of 38 career games, all but one of the starts at left tackle.

  • At Detroit (Sept. 14): Played two series at left guard and saw time on special teams
  • Vs. Atlanta (Oct. 5): Came in midway through the third quarter at left guard when Colledge moved over to left tackle in place of an injured Clifton, where he played the remainder of the game
  • At Chicago (Dec. 22): Played on special teams and returned second-quarter kickoff 17 yards
  • Vs. Detroit (Dec. 28): Entered game at left guard late in the first quarter after center Scott Wells sustained ankle injury and Jason Spitz shifted to center.

The play, for which the Lions employed a formation utilizing all offensive linemen, was run as a tribute to the late head coach John Ware, a former offensive lineman who had died just four days prior
