*Disclaimer - I’m a 24 year old Englishman who’s been watching the Lions for 10 years but never really knew anything about the NFL before 2013/14

After finally watching Billy Sims highlights, he might be the most exciting Lions player I’ve ever seen but am looking for suggestions for other players!

    It’s Barry Sanders, and to me, it’s not even close. With the exception of blackout games where they wouldn’t let local stations carry the Lions unless it was a sellout, I watched every single game Barry ever played, and there was no one like him.

    Even when we had losing seasons, he was a must watch because you never knew when he was going to break one. Megatron was great to watch as well, but because Barry got more touches and started his plays from the line of scrimmage - where he had to scrape for every yard - he is HIM… I also watched every Billy Sims game as well, and he was phenomenal, until Barry eclipsed him.
