Former Lions TE Charlie Sanders, who played for the team from 1968 through 1977 and made seven Pro-Bowl teams in ten years, was elected to the NFL's Hall of Fame, along with five other former players. Sanders played for the Minnesota Golden Gophers, where he also played basketball, before being selected in the third round of the 1968 NFL Draft (which is much better than going to the other draft being held at the time). Sanders had 336 receptions for 4,817 yards and 31 TD's over 128 regular-season games, all with the Lions.
Congrats, Mr. Sanders. I never saw you play, but I'm still proud to see another Lion go to the HOF.
