Juice Scruggs Emerges as Lions' Center Contender After Preseason Film

Juice Scruggs’ strong preseason film against the Commanders gave him a real shot to start at center (and possibly guard) for the Detroit Lions as Cade Mays heals. The Penn State product flashed versatility—stacking second-level blocks, handling multiple run schemes, and showing solid pass protection—matching Brad Holmes’ praise of his intangibles and readiness to contribute across the interior line. If he can maintain this level, Scruggs could be the headset answer for the Lions’ interior line depth.

Lions' 2026 Draft Outlook Shaped by Montgomery Trade

The Detroit Lions traded running back David Montgomery to the Houston Texans for Houston’s 2026 fourth‑round pick, a 2027 seventh‑round pick, and offensive lineman Juice Scruggs. The move leaves Detroit with nine 2026 draft selections and sparks discussion about potential compensatory picks and how GM Brad Holmes might maneuver in the first round.

Lions Add Juice Scruggs as Low-Risk Center Upgrade

Detroit parted ways with David Montgomery and added rotational interior lineman Juice Scruggs, plus a 2026 fourth-round pick and a 2027 seventh-round pick, signaling a center-first, low-risk upgrade for the line. Scruggs started eight games at center in 2024 (with guard experience) and projects best at center, though he’s not guaranteed to start right away. The Lions view him as a potential long-term starter who enhances depth, and the move could reduce the urgency to draft a developmental center in favor of pursuing a proven option in free agency. His contract carries no guaranteed money beyond this season.

Texans' Draft Picks Scruggs, Stroud, and Anderson Jr. Share Their Thoughts.

The Houston Texans have selected Penn State center Juice Scruggs with the 62nd overall pick in the NFL Draft. Scruggs, who brings physicality and flexibility to the Texans' offensive line, started 13 games at center for the Nittany Lions last year and earned All-Big Ten honorable mention. He suffered a major back injury in a car accident in 2019 but assisted the offensive line coaches during his recovery. The Texans traded with the Eagles to select Scruggs, moving up from the 65th pick to the 62nd pick.

Texans surprise with draft picks Scruggs, Stroud, and Anderson.

The Houston Texans acquired the No. 62 pick from the Philadelphia Eagles and selected Penn State offensive lineman Juice Scruggs, the third center off the board in the second round of the NFL draft. Scruggs brings ideal size, strength, and acumen to Houston and has experience at both center and guard. He had to come back from a serious car accident in 2019 but returned to become a captain in Happy Valley. Scruggs should provide an immediate starting opportunity at center for the Texans in 2023.
