With the exception of two years serving his country, the multi-tasking Yale Lary played for the Detroit Lions from 1952 to 1964 and was a large part of the success of the organization’s success in the 1950s. The three-time NFL Champion was a five time First Team All-Pro who was not just a Safety, a Punter and a Returner, he was a star at all three positions.
Lary was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1979 but with the way he excelled at every position, it feels like he should have gotten in earlier. Lary was part of Detroit's first class of their Pride of the Lions in 2009.
