Riley Reiff's versatility gives Lions flexibility this offseason

Indianapolis -- Riley Reiff is in the Lions' offensive line plans for 2016, but where exactly he'll play along the line is yet to be determined.

"We'll figure that out as it comes," Lions GM Bob Quinn said at the Combine when asked about Reiff. "He's a versatile guy, he's played different positions in his college career and his pro career, so we'll look at everything depending on who else is on the team."

Reiff is entering the final year of his rookie contract and is set to make $8 million on his fifth-year team option. He started 47 of a possible 48 games the last three seasons after being used as an extra lineman in sub packages as a rookie in 2012.

Pro Football Focus graded Reiff out to be the 17th best left tackle in 2015.

The Lions are expected to add a tackle via the draft or free agency this offseason. Reiff's ability to play both tackle spots, and potentially even guard, gives Quinn and the Lions some versatility in the kind of players they sign or draft.
