Alex Karras' Hall of Fame wait is finally over.
The former Detroit Lions defensive tackle was announced as one of 15 people selected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Wednesday morning, part of this year's expanded centennial class.
Karras spent his entire 12-year career with the Lions after being drafted by the franchise in the first round in 1958. With the Lions, Karras was selected a first-team All-Pro four times, and in 1967 he was named to the All-Decade Team of the 1960s by the Hall of Fame.
