Detroit Lions could be close to making big announcement regarding Barry Sanders
For 10 seasons, Barry Sanders wowed Detroit Lions’ fans (and plenty of other NFL fans) with his amazing runs. Then, out of nowhere, Sanders decided that he was done with football and was retiring.
With15,269 yards, Sanders was well on his way to becoming the NFL’s all-time leading rusher. But, that record was not as important to Barry as was going out on his own terms.
In 2004, Sanders was inducted to the Pro Football Hall of Fame and there is no question about it that he is one of the greatest running backs ever to play in the NFL.
Now, Barry is back with the Lions as an ambassador for the team and he is having a great time.
From Associated Press:
“It’s definitely nice to be back after the first few years of being retired and there not being much communication,” Sanders said in an interview with The Associated Press. “So, certainly just being able to be involved with certain things that the team is doing from a community outreach standpoint and that sort of thing, for me, it’s great.
“And, just being able to be around the game a little more and certainly around the Lions family a little more for me is meaningful so I do appreciate that.”
