Defensive end Jared Allen, wide receiver Sterling Sharpe, cornerback Eric Allen, and tight end Antonio Gates will be enshrined to the Pro Football Hall of Fame this week. The Hall of Fame honors were a long time coming for both Sharpe and Eric Allen, while Gates and Jared Allen didn't have to wait as long.

With the return of actual football games comes the return of grades from Pro Football Focus. With the Hall of Fame Game in the books, the Lions have their first set of grades completed from the analytical website following the team's 34-7 loss in Canton, Ohio against the Los Angeles Chargers.
