Detroit Lions - Team Notes

I loved watching the Detroit Lion's legendary Safety, Punter, Punt and Kick Returner. Yale Lary to this day is my All-Time favorite Detroit Lion.

Yale Lary was the "Original Hang Time Punter" and a fearless safety who shut down other teams passing game of at least half the field.

To this day, I will never understand why Yale Lary's uniform # 28 was never retired.

Jim Brown gave him the highest compliment when Brown said, "There were two players I went up against that gave me the toughest time in the open field, Night Train' Lane, and Yale Lary".
