A different era for sure. I can make this short and simple.
I believe the current common career average for running backs in the NFL is around 3 years. That’s just the modern statistics.
Barry Sanders played 10 seasons.
It just makes me chuckle, because Barry gave us a whole decade… and it wasn’t good enough.
I never realized how apathetic he was to stats, yet he either shattered or was going to shatter numerous records.
But he just seems like a genuinely good dude and his sons aren’t stuck up rich kids.
