I was 8 yrs old in 1957 and the Lions won the Championship. Listened on radio to all the games. Born in Detroit and have been a fan ever since. Today I read of Mr Schmidt dying. I was a fan of his defensive play throughout his playing career. Loved to watch him as a leader and as a player. He solidified our defense with Alex, Darren, and Roger.

Joe Schmidt's name belongs in every conversation that is in regard to the greatest Middle Linebackers who have ever played the game. I suggest viewing his Pro Football Hall of Fame page, which provides a fine tribute to his greatness.
