Barry Sanders is a Hall of Fame running back who was drafted with the 3rd pick by the Detroit Lions in the 1989 NFL Draft. Considered by many to be the greatest running back of all-time, Barry Sanders retired early because he lost interest in playing for a losing franchise. In his last season, Barry Sanders rushed for nearly 1,500 and there is no doubt that if he would have continued playing that he would be the NFL record holder for most rushing yards. Below is a look at some of his career accomplishments.
- 10x Pro Bowl
- 1x MVP
- AP Offensive Rookie of the Year
- 2x AP Offensive Player of the Year
- 15,269 Rushing Yards
- 99 Rushing TDs
