ATLANTA — Barry Sanders and the Detroit Lions were estranged for several years after Sanders abruptly left the NFL in 1999, but the Hall-of-Fame running back eventually reconciled with the only franchise he played for, and said Friday he expects the same to happen with Calvin Johnson.
"My advice to Calvin, I don’t know," Sanders said during an appearance at Super Bowl LIII.
