List of Detroit Lions in the NFL Hall of Fame
The Detroit Lions are a professional American football team based in Detroit, Michigan. The Lions compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member of the North Division of the National Football Conference.[1] The franchise was founded in Portsmouth, Ohio, as the Portsmouth Spartans and joined the NFL on July 12, 1930, making them the fifth oldest franchise in the league.[2][3] After being purchased by George A. Richards in 1934, the franchise was relocated to Detroit and renamed to the Detroit Lions in reference to the city’s Major League Baseball franchise, the Detroit Tigers.[4][5]
The Pro Football Hall of Fame was founded in 1963 to celebrate the history of professional American football and those who have had a significant impact on it.[6] Since the inaugural induction class of 1963, the Pro Football Hall of Fame has inducted 23 Lions players, coaches, and administrators.
Of the 23 inductees, 17 made their primary contribution to football with the Lions, while the other 6 contributed only a minor portion of their career with the Lions.[7] Dwight Freeney was the most recent Lion inducted into the Hall of Fame, as part of the 2024 class.
