Detroit Lions Legends

Detroit Lions Legends is the club branch of the NFL Legends Community, which was designed to celebrate, educate, embrace and connect all former NFL players with each other, their former teams, and the League. The Lions also have a Peer Pride Outreach program that was created to engage, reconnect, and provide peer support for transitioning Lions Legends. The Lions also received two NFL best practices in 2017 for their alumni efforts.
