Ring of honor for the Detroit Lions

The Pride of the Lions is a team-specific hall of fame, honoring former members of the Detroit Lions, an American football team in the National Football League (NFL). Considered to be the organization's highest individual honor,[1] [2] inductees' names, jersey numbers, and years played in Detroit are featured in a permanent display on the former Hudson's warehouse at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan.[3] [4] The Pride of the Lions is sometimes referred to as the team's ring of honor.[5] [6] [7]

Established in 2009, the Pride of the Lions' inaugural class featured 12 inductees, all of whom had already been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.[8] [9] There have been 21 former players inducted into the Pride of the Lions.[10] [11]
