Stafford's 40K Football Featured in Pro Football Hall of Fame

Stafford's football is now featured in Canton, Ohio

If you are visiting the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton anytime soon, there is now a new piece of memorabilia featured from the Detroit Lions 2019 season. 

In October, against the Minnesota Vikings at Ford Field, Matthew Stafford linked up with Danny Amendola on a 36-yard pass late in the first quarter to eclipse 40,000 passing yards during his career.

Stafford became the fastest player in NFL history to reach 40,000 NFL career passing yards. 

He was able to accomplish this feat in under 150 career games played, eclipsing Matt Ryan of the Atlanta Falcons.

Stafford, 31, also was the fastest to achieve 15,000, 20,000, 25,000 and 30,000 passing yards.
