Barry Sanders is still regarded as one of the most prolific running backs in the history of the NFL. Sanders is known for his on and off field humility. He was rarely seen celebrating on the feel and he never spiked the ball after a touchdown.

To this day, Barry Sanders is one of the most respected running backs in NFL history. 1997 was his best season in the NFL, although he gained only 53 yards on 25 carries in the first two mobile games of the season. He became only the third player in NFL history to rush for over 2000 yards, and the first since O.J. Simpson. That year he shared the NFL most valuable player award with Brett Favre.

Barry was always concerned more about his teammates than himself — you can tell by the memory he wrote of that night on December 21, 1997:

“The thing I remember most about that game was how much my lineman wanted me to get 2000yds, so I really wanted to get it for them. To actually break 2000 on a long run that sealed the game against the Jets and got us into the Playoffs made it very sweet. That was a special group of guys and I was proud to share that moment with them.”
