ALEX KARRAS BELONGS IN HALL OF FAME



The original "fearsome foursome" Sam Williams, Roger Brown, Darris McCord, and Alex Karras (c1962) was a phenomenal unit, before sacks were counted! The early sixties Lion defensive front four were non-pariel and I insist Alex Karras be inducted to the NFL HOF while he yet lives! A man of honor, dignity and intelligence.

Name: Alex Karras
Position: DT
College: Iowa
Years a Lion: 1958-62, 1964-70

Drafted in the first round of the 1958 draft…Was collegiate wrestling champion as University of Iowa heavyweight…Was a master in technique of using hands and arms to fight his way past would be blockers into enemy backfields…Weighing 255 pounds and standing 6-2, Karras used his stocky build to bull rush offensive lines…Karras made the Pro Bowl a total of four times.
