DETROIT. (WILX) - Detroit Lions’ former defensive end Robert Porcher is set to be inducted into the ‘Pride of the Lions’ wall display at Ford Field.
The club announced that Porcher will be inducted at halftime of Detroit’s home opener on Sept. 14 against the Chicago Bears.
Two days ago Porcher was surprised with the news by his former teammates Jason Hanson, Herman Moore, and Chris Spielman.
We are thrilled to cement Robert Porcher’s legacy as one of the all-time Lions greats,” said Detroit Lions President & CEO Rod Wood. “As someone who spent his entire 13-year career in Detroit and holds our franchise record for career sacks, he is incredibly deserving of this honor. He was a model of stability and tenacity as a player and will always be someone our fans and even current players can look up to. We look forward to welcoming Robert back to Ford Field for what will be an extra special celebration when we take on the Chicago Bears for our home opener.”
Porcher will now become the 22nd member of the ‘Pride of the Lions,’ which was originally created back in 2009 at Ford Field.
He played all 13 seasons in the NFL with the Lions and is Detroit’s all-time sack leader with 95.5. Pocher was originally selected by Detroit 26th overall in the 1992 NFL Draft out of South Carolina State.
