24. Kevin Glover

With the exception of his final two seasons, Kevin Glover was a career Detroit Lion, and was at his best when he was blocking for the legendary Barry Sanders.  Glover was a three-time Pro Bowl selection as a Lion and played 177 games for Detroit, starting 161 of them.

15. Wayne Walker

Out of the state of Idaho, Wayne Walker would spend all of his fifteen seasons in the NFL as a Detroit Lion and was a very rare dual threat as a Linebacker and Place Kicker.  Walker was a three-time Pro Bowl selection who would be named the team’s Defensive MVP in 1968.  Walker had 14 career Interceptions.

17. Roger Brown

Before he would join the Rams “Fearsome Foursome”, he was already well established as a star Defensive Tackle with the Detroit Lions.  Brown was a Pro Bowl Selection in each of his final five seasons with Detroit and would also be named to a pair of First Season All-Pros.  Allegedly, Brown was the first player to weigh in at over 300 pounds, but he was not known as much for his size as he was for his agility.

Detroit selected Brown for the Pride of the Lions in 2018.
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.
