However, not all news is positive in Detroit. Last night, it was breaking news that one of the team’s former signal callers, Greg Landry, drafted in the first round and played from the late 1960s into the 1970s, has passed away.
“We join the NFL community in mourning the loss of former Lions quarterback and coach Greg Landry,”
The Lions posted to their social media, confirming the loss of the legendary Lions quarterback.
The Detroit Lions Confirm The Loss Of Former Quarterback And Coach Greg Landry
In 1971, Landry enjoyed a breakout performance with the Lions, throwing for over 2,200 passing yards while completing 52 percent of his passes. Landry also threw 16 touchdowns compared to 13 interceptions, which garnered him a Pro Bowl selection and All-Pro honors.
In his 11 seasons with the Lions franchise, he threw for over 12,000 passing yards and 80 touchdowns, compared to 81 interceptions, before joining the Baltimore Colts. He also spent some time in the USFL before heading to Chicago to join the Bears.
Landry eventually retired with over 16,000 passing yards and just over 90 passing touchdowns, compared to over 100 interceptions. Following his playing days, he joined the coaching staff of the Browns and Bears before ultimately ending up back home in Detroit as the quarterbacks coach.
We want to send our condolences to his friends, family, and former teammates.
