In The 50 Greatest Players in Detroit Lions History, sports historian Robert W. Cohen examines the careers of the top 50 men ever to perform for one of the National Football League’s most historic franchises. Using as measuring sticks the degree to which they impacted the fortunes of the team, the extent to which they added to the Lions legacy, and the levels of statistical compilation and overall dominance they attained while wearing a Lions uniform, Cohen ranks, from 1 to 50, the top 50 players in team history. Quotes from opposing players and former teammates are provided along the way, as are summaries of each player’s greatest season, most memorable performances, and most notable achievements.
