The College Football Hall of Fame announced the 78 nominees for the induction class of 2024. A handful of players with Lions affiliations earned nominations.
The most notable former Lions player to earn a nomination is wide receiver Herman Moore. Detroit’s first-round pick in the 1991 NFL draft had a fantastic collegiate career at Virginia, averaging 22.0 yards per reception and scoring 27 touchdowns in his three seasons for the Cavaliers.
Another Moore, former Lions QB Kellen, is also among the nominees. Kellen Moore thrived at Boise State before joining the Lions as an undrafted free agent in 2012.
Current Lions wide receivers coach Antwan Randle El is also on the list for his college career at Indiana, where he played quarterback.
Two other players who spent multiple years with the Lions in the 1990s, defensive backs Mark Carrier and Todd Lyght, are also in the nomination class.
