Former Detroit Lions wide receiver Nate Burleson is being honored in a big way by the East-West Shrine Bowl. Burleson is being inducted into the Shrine Bowl Hall of Fame at the annual game next week in Las Vegas.
Burleson played in the Shrine Bowl in 2003, when the game was still known as the East-West Shrine Game. Aside from his excellence on the football field, Burleson has remained an ambassador for the Shriners and their work in helping children with disabilities and medical problems.
