Favourite Lion Poll #5: Most Outstanding Lineman
Moderator: Team Captains
I will combine the Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman award with the previous Most Outstanding Lineman award. This category also contains a pair of multiple winners. With his many years of service to the Lions and to the community, I choose Al Wilson.

Jim Mills. Can you imagine the bookends with Mills and Murphy ? The quarterback will have all day to pick apart the defence.
These polls are helping me realize you end up having a special attachment to those players who were big when you first started watching football.Robbie wrote:I will combine the Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman award with the previous Most Outstanding Lineman award.

Too bad that Mills was only a few games away from being eligible to collect a NFL pension.
The results of tihs poll were close too, but Al Wilson was the most popular likely because of his very long stay with the team from 1972 to 1986, and many Lions fans will remember him as the first to hoist the Grey Cup in 1985. Mills and Murphy are tied for second. I guess everyone still remembers Murphy from this year, while Mills was a multiple winner. Unfortunately for Tom Brown, although he's a multiple winner too, I don't think many fans were around when he played.
