Lions legend Charlie Sanders passed away at the age of 68 Thursday after a courageous battle with cancer.
Sanders filled many roles in the Lions organization throughout his career -- player, coach, assistant director of pro personnel, mentor, friend -- and will be remembered not only as a Hall of Fame player, but a Hall of Fame person too.
You'll be missed, Charlie.
