Inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2007, Charlie Sanders might very well be the greatest Tight End in Detroit Lions history.  An adept blocker as he was a receiver, Sanders was named to seven Pro Bowls and three First Team All-Pros and was close to 5,000 Yards Receiving.  Sanders was part of Detroit's first Pride of the Lions Class in 2009.

The answer to the not often asked question of who is the player who played the most years for only one franchise is Place Kicker, Jason Hanson, who was a Detroit Lion for 21 seasons.

You definitely can’t go by the statistics on this one.

A great offensive weapon for the Lions in the 1990s, Herman Moore would twice lead the National Football League in Receptions.  Moore may have been overshadowed by Barry Sanders, but Moore was a four-time Pro Bowl selection who had over 1,000 Yards in each of those campaigns.  He held all of the major franchise receiving records until they were broken by Calvin Johnson.

Moore entered the Pride of the Lions in 2018.
