Inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1968, Alex Wojciechowicz was a major force in the NFL who spent most of his career with the Detroit Lions.  Playing at Center, End and Linebacker, he was named to the Pro Football Hall of Fame 1940’s All-Decade Team.  He would set the single season record (since broken) for Interceptions in 1944 and in the era of sixty minute players was one of the few who excelled at both ends of the field.  He would later win two NFL Championships with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Canton called his name in 1968, ad he was part of the first class of the Pride of the Lions in 2009.
