Barry Sanders NFL Legacy

Barry Sanders was a special player, and since he retired from the league over two decades ago, there's never been a running back just as special.

Sanders is widely considered one of the best running backs of all time, and numerous media outlets have ranked him number one on their running back rankings. At the time of his retirement, Barry Sanders placed second all-time in career rushing yards with 15,269 rushing yards. He was also second all-time in career rushing attempts with 3,062 attempts and sixth all-time in career rushing touchdowns with 99 rushing touchdowns. As of today, he still comfortably ranks in the top ten in all three categories despite having retired almost three decades ago.

Sanders was a statistical juggernaut and never went below 1,000 rushing yards in his ten-year NFL career. He has the joint second-most 1,000-yard rushing years with ten, along with Curtis Martin. He is the Detroit Lions' most popular player and arguably the greatest player in the much-maligned franchise's history.

Sanders earned his spot in the Pro Football Hall of Fame on August 8, 2004, at 36 years old. He became the second youngest player to earn a gold bust in Canton in the process. He is also viewed as the greatest player ever not to appear in the Super Bowl.
