Around these parts, there is little question that former Detroit Lions running back Barry Sanders is the GOAT.
During his 10 seasons with the Lions, Barry wowed NFL fans (and his fellow players) with spectacular run after spectacular run.

When all was said and done, Sanders had a whopping 15,269 rushing yards and 109 total touchdowns.
Yet, USA Today (and their panel of voters), who recently released its Top 100 NFL Players of All-time, clearly does not get it.
According to their rankings, Barry Sanders comes in as the No. 10 player of all-time.
Now, we are not saying Barry was better than guys like Jerry Rice (No. 1 overall) and Tom Brady (No. 2 overall), but USA Today has the Lions’ legend as the No. 3 running back of all-time behind Jim Brown (No. 4 overall) and Walter Payton (No. 5 overall)!
This is unacceptable!
Please watch the clip below and let us know what other running back could do what Barry did.
Even when you think you got him…@BarrySanders just kept on going. 😤 #NFL100 @KeeganMKey
