Thank You, Robert Porcher

Robert Porcher ended his 13 years of playing with the Lions yesterday. He is third in all-time games played in franchise history, with 187. He is also seventh all-time in tackles with 673. Porcher should now assume a role among the likes of Joe Schmidt, Chris Spielman, and Lem Barney among others who should be highly regarded among Lion fans.

He is also the ALL-Time Sacks Leader for the Team
