Not to mention, Barry Sanders, a really good dude.
Devout Christian. Always tithed to his church from his
NFL contracts.
Never knew much about his personal life, but for my money he was the most exciting draw the NFL ever had. He could run for 180 yards one week, but the very next week he could be held to negative yardage. It was always unpredictable and every time he got the ball you never really knew if he was going to break an amazing pinball run all the way down the field. I don’t think players these days would be given that level of freedom to risk lost yardage anymore.
