Lions Legend Wayne Walker Passes Away At Age 80.
CBSDetroit
Walker, who played his entire NFL career with the Lions, ranks second on the team’s all-time list for seasons played (15) and third in games played (200). He was the first player in team history to play 200 games.
As a Lion, he was selected to three Pro Bowls (1964-66), and he ranks eighth on the team’s list for career points scored (345), which includes two return touchdowns (one interception and one fumble), 53 field goals and 172 PATs. He led Detroit in scoring in 1962, 1964 and 1965. As a linebacker, he recorded 14 interceptions for 163 return yards.
In 1958, the rookie linebacker returned both an interception and fumble for touchdowns and established himself as one of the young stars in the NFL. He later went on to receive the team’s defensive MVP award in 1968. In 2008, Walker was named to the franchise’s 75th season All-Time Team.

I found this interesting for not any other reason than I watched the Thanksgiving Day Game The Lions played the Oakland Raiders. Raiders built a 14 - 0 lead early, and I remember post game that old George Blanda the QB and kicker for the Raiders said he was talking to not as long in the tooth but still a veteran Wayne Walker to the effect the Raiders were having their way with them, Blanda says that Wayne Walker said to Blanda,
"There's alot of game left old timer" and the Lions scored 28 unanswered points to win 28 - 14.
