Shows you how much bad blood Sander’s retirement created.

“Billy Sims wore #20 also.”

Lem Barney was probably the best corner ever in Detroit and reasonably the best in the history of the NFL. Other teams wouldn’t throw on his side for years.

The number was also used by Barry Sanders possibly the best running back in NFL history. But it was retired for the legacy of the number itself, which all three players wore with distinction.
