Congratulations are in order for four former Detroit Lions players who earned nominations for the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame.
Safety Bennie Blades, offensive tackle Kevin Glover, linebacker Larry Foote and quarterback Drew Henson all appear on the 2023 ballot for the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame, or MSHOF. The MSHOF covers all sports and sporting pursuits from all levels, not just the professional ranks. Henson’s cup of coffee with the Lions isn’t why he’s on the nominations list.
“The Michigan Sports Hall of Fame is a nonprofit committed to preserving the State of Michigan’s sports history and celebrating the State’s legendary athletes, coaches and contributors.”
This year’s full ballot is available at michigansportshof.org. It features over 30 nominees across all sorts of sporting contributions.
