Roger Zatkoff, one of the last living members of the Detroit Lions' 1957 championship team, died last week at 90 years old.
Zatkoff was a standout linebacker at Michigan and with the Lions in the 1950s who went on to a successful business career after his playing days.
A Hamtramck native, Zatkoff played his first four NFL seasons with the Green Bay Packers and made three Pro Bowls with the team before engineering a trade to the Lions.
Initially traded from the Packers to the Cleveland Browns after the 1956 season, Zatkoff balked at reporting to Cleveland.
