Lions GM confirms they see Reiff as a tackle
Riley Reiff - T - Detroit Lions
Jan. 6, 2013 - 3:35 PM ET

Lions GM Martin Mayhew confirmed that the team sees Riley Reiff as a tackle in the NFL.

"He can play four spots," Mayhew said. "He could evolve over time, but I see him at tackle right now." The first-round rookie out of Iowa started eight games in 2012 but was really a part-timer behind LT Jeff Backus and RT Gosder Cherilus. Backus is 35 and uncertain if he will return for 2013 while Cherilus is a free agent. Reiff will almost certainly be a full-time starter in 2013.
