Personal Fact of Barry Sanders | |
Even though he retired unexpectedly and quit early in his career, Barry Sanders is regarded as one of the finest American football players of the National Football League in the last decade. After being rejected by several colleges because of his height, Sanders finally joined Oklahoma State on a sports scholarship. He then got picked up by the Detroit Lions for National Football League (NFL) with whom he spent his entire football career. It was not long before Sanders became famous for his electrifying running style, and became the first player to have reached a record of 1,000 yards for first 10 seasons. It was only a matter of time before Sanders became one of the crucial players for the Detroit Lions leading NFL four times in his record breaking rushing. He has broken several major records and has also been bestowed with several prestigious awards. Sanders retired from football suddenly, raising a controversy around his abrupt decision. He clarified later that he held the Detroit Lions too close to him to have been replaced from his position. After an amazing football career, Sanders passed on the baton to his son Barry J. Sanders. |
