Lomas Brown to be inducted into the Pride of the Lions

On a night when the Detroit Lions opened the 2023 preseason with an exciting victory over the New York Giants, the best moment in Ford Field came up in the Lions’ radio broadcast booth.

Team president Rod Wood surprised color analyst Lomas Brown with a beautiful montage of Brown’s stellar playing career. At the end, Wood revealed that Brown will be this year’s inductee into the Pride of the Lions.

The gregarious Brown was clearly overcome with all the adoration. Fellow Pride of the Lions member and longtime teammate Chris Spielman gave Brown a lengthy hug, as did play-by-play partner Dan Miller. He received a huge ovation from the 48,000-plus fans in Ford Field and also from the press box.

Brown, who played in Detroit from 1985-1995, will have his name enshrined at halftime of the Lions home date with the Las Vegas Raiders on October 30th.
