Although Barry Sanders earned all-state honors in high school
football, many college recruiters overlooked him because of his
height. Undeterred, Sanders used his size to his advantage for the
rest of his career. Accepting a scholarship from Oklahoma State
University, he set several college football records and earned the
Heisman Trophy as 1988's most outstanding player. In only his
junior year of college, he was the third overall pick in the NFL
draft, where he was selected to play for the Detroit Lions. He
stayed with the Lions for his entire career and achievedPro Bowl
status in all of his 10 seasons as a pro. At the age of 30, still
healthy and a season away from topping Walter Payton's career
rushing record, Sanders stunned fans when he unexpectedly announced
his retirement from the game. In addition to spending time with his
family, this former MVP and NFL record-holder now raises funds for
various charities, including those for scleroderma, a chronic
connective tissue disease.
