Somewhat forgotten in the lore of Detroit Lions Quarterbacks is Greg Landry, who was there for eleven years. Coming out of the University of Massachusetts, Landry would set many passing records (since broken) for the franchise but he was known actually more for his scrambling ability than he was for his passing. Landry was a Pro Bowl selection in 1971.
