Detroit Lions Hall of Fame RB Barry Sanders explains his thoughts on Kerryon Johnson and the Lions offense at the Super Bowl, Feb. 1, 2019 in Atlanta.
It's a debate Barry Sanders wanted no part in – who's the best Detroit Lions running back since, well, him.
"I don't know," Sanders said sheepishly at the Super Bowl last week. "I can't say."
Frankly, there aren't a lot of options – well, good options at least.
The Lions have had 12 different leading rushers in the 20 seasons since Sanders retired and just three of those backs have eclipsed 1,000 yards rushing in a single year.
