The 8 best Lions not in the Hall of Fame

Not all of these 8 belong in Canton but they deserve respect for their great performances in Detroit

Herman Moore

Speaking of receivers with an incredible 3-year peak, Herman Moore was the NFL’s most prolific receiver in both receptions and receiving yards from 1995-1997. Moore was a first-team All-Pro all three years and a four-time Pro Bowler.

Any receiver who can post over 4,200 yards and 31 TDs in a 3-year span merits consideration.

Outside of his truly astonishing five-year run from 1994-1998, Moore doesn’t have Hall-worthy production. But he was a special talent and one of the NFL’s very best in an era where many great Hall of Famers players at his position populated the league. He did it with the omnipresent smile, too.
