Barry Sanders (top) and Joe Schmidt (bottom) jointly hold the team record for most Pro Bowl selections, with 10 each.[1] Sanders, a running back, was selected to the Pro Bowl 10 consecutive times, being chosen every season that he played in the NFL.[2] Schmidt, a linebacker, was also selected to 10 consecutive Pro Bowls during the 1950s and 1960s.[3] Both players were selected to the 100th Anniversary All-Time Team.[4][5]

The Detroit Lions are a professional American football team based in Detroit, Michigan. The Lions compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member of the North Division of the National Football Conference (NFC).[6] The franchise was founded in Portsmouth, Ohio, as the Portsmouth Spartans and joined the NFL on July 12, 1930.[7] After being purchased by George A. Richards in 1934, the franchise was relocated to Detroit and renamed to the Detroit Lions in reference to the city's Major League Baseball franchise, the Detroit Tigers.[8][9] The team plays its home games at Ford Field in Downtown Detroit.[10]

Starting with the 1938 NFL season, the NFL instituted an All-Star Game that pitted the league's championship team against a team made up of the best players from the remaining teams.[11] Five of these exhibition games were played, with the last occurring after the 1942 NFL season, before the NFL reduced the number of teams and games in the season due to players serving in World War II.[12][13] The first official Pro Bowl occurred in 1951 following the 1950 NFL season.[14] From the 1950 season until the 1969 season, the exhibition game was played between teams representing the Eastern and Western Conferences of the NFL.[15] After the American Football League (AFL) merged with the NFL in 1970, the game was played between teams representing the NFC and the American Football Conference (AFC). The conference team format remained until 2014 when the NFL shifted to a fantasy football format with teams selected by captains from the full pool of Pro Bowl selectees. This format only lasted for three seasons before it reverted to the conference team format from the 2016 to 2021 NFL seasons;[14] this period included the cancellation of the 2021 Pro Bowl due to the COVID-19 pandemic (teams were still selected and players were still recognized as Pro Bowl selectees).[16] Starting with the 2023 Pro Bowl after the 2022 NFL season, the NFL again changed the format; instead of playing an exhibition game, the Pro Bowl was converted to series of skill competitions that culminated in a non-contact flag football game.[17]

Pro Bowl selections are made by a cumulative vote by three groups that hold equal weight: coaches, players, and fans.[14] Based on the vote results, each team is filled out based on generic offense, defense, and special teams.[18] Before the institution of the Pro Bowl Games in 2023, the players with the most votes were named starters, while the remainder of the selectees were reserves.[19] If a Pro Bowl selectee is unable to participate in the Pro Bowl, either for health reasons or the fact that they are playing in the Super Bowl right after the Pro Bowl, an alternate is named in the player's place. Alternate players are still considered official Pro Bowl selectees.[20] The coaching staffs for each team have been selected in various ways, with the common option being the coaching staffs of the team with the best record in each conference who were not going to the Super Bowl given the honors.[21] With the onset of the Pro Bowl Games, the NFL now selects the coaching staffs for the flag football game.[22] Players for each team are paid for their participation, with a higher sum going to the winning team.[23] Throughout the life of the Pro Bowl, awards have been given out to recognize the best player or players of the game. From 2016 to 2022, an award was given to an offensive and defensive most valuable player (MVP).[12]

The Lions have had representatives at the Pro Bowl every year since 1950 except for nine seasons. The Lions' first selections in the inaugural Pro Bowl in 1951 were Cloyce Box, Lou Creekmur, Don Doll, Thurman McGraw, and Doak Walker.[24] Four Lions have been given a Pro Bowl MVP award.[12] Linebacker Joe Schmidt and running back Barry Sanders are tied for the team record for most Pro Bowl selections with 10, while Yale Lary (9 selections), and Lou Creekmur (8 selections) round out the top four.[1] Sanders was the first player to play at least 10 seasons in the NFL and be selected to the Pro Bowl in each season they played.[25] The most recent Pro Bowl selections for the Lions were Jahmyr Gibbs, Aidan Hutchinson, Sam LaPorta, Frank Ragnow, Jalen Reeves-Maybin, Penei Sewell, and Amon-Ra St. Brown for the 2024 Pro Bowl Games.[26]

Yale Lary, in the offseason after being selected to the 1954 Pro Bowl, was ordered to report for duty in the United States Army. After completing his service, which forced him to miss the 1954 and 1955 seasons, Lary returned to the NFL and was selected for eight more Pro Bowls.[136][137][138]

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ The position which the player was elected to the All-Star Game for.
  2. ^ a b Sources conflict on whether Lloyd Cardwell and Byron White were selected to the December 1940 All-Star Game. Pro Football Reference does not include them on the team,[30] while sources from the time note that both players were selected and practicing with the All-Star team.[31][32][33][34][35]
  3. ^ At different times, the Pro Bowl MVP Award has also been called the "Player of the Game".[60] It has also been handed out to more than one player: in the past it was given to the best back and the best lineman and more recently it is given to the best offensive and defensive players.[61][62]
  4. ^ The Pro Bowl is held at the end of the season, which typically occurs during the next calendar year. As an example, the 1951 Pro Bowl included Pro Bowl selectees from the 1950 NFL season.
  5. ^ a b The position which the player was elected to the Pro Bowl for.
  6. ^ Bobby Layne was traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers part way through the 1958 NFL season.[71]
  7. ^ The 2021 Pro Bowl was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[16]
  8. ^ The NFL changed the format for the Pro Bowl; instead of an exhibition full contact game, Pro Bowl selectees competed in various skills competitions and a non-contact flag football game.[17]
