The Detroit Lions have another Hall-of-Famer in the family.
Defensive tackle Alex Karras was selected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Wednesday as a member of the 15-person centennial class.
Karras, who starred for the Lions in 1958-70, was one of 10 senior-era players picked as by a panel of voters that will be enshrined in Canton later this year.
Three contributors and two previously-named coaches, Jimmy Johnson and Bill Cowher, also were picked as part of the centennial class. They'll be joined by up to five modern-era players, who will be chosen by the regular Hall-of-Fame selection committee before the Super Bowl next month.
