The Detroit Lions haven’t had a whole lot of success at winning football games for the past 60 years or so, but they have had some excellent players along the way.
The Lions have put some players on the field that have been some of the leagues most electrifying and exciting players to watch. These are my five greatest Detroit Lions of all-time…
5. Dick Lane, CB (1960-1965)
Dick “Night Train” Lane is an obvious choice here. Lane played at the cornerback position for the Lions from 1960-1965. Before coming to Detroit, he spent six years with the Chicago Cardinals (1954-1959) and two seasons with the Los Angeles Rams (1952-1953).
