On Thursday, former Detroit Lions defensive end Robert Porcher was out at Allen Park for the joint practice against the Houston Texans. On it's own that wasn't notable, but it has been revealed to be a precursor for something else.
Lions special assistant Chris Spielman joined Jason Benetti and T.J. Lang in the tv booth for Saturday's game against the Texans. There he made the announcement that Porcher would be the newest member of the "Pride of the Lions", the Lions' Ring of Honor.
"We are thrilled to cement Robert Porcher's legacy as one of the all-time Lions greats," Lions President & CEO Rod Wood said via a statement released by the team.
