Age ain’t nothing but a number baby, and Barry Sanders is no exception.
SB Nation’s Charles McDonald listed the 50-year-old Lions legend among six Hall of Famers who would still kick butt (sorry, language) in today’s NFL. Calling him possibly the greatest running back of all time, McDonald argues that Sanders could be dropped into a game today without missing a beat. For reference:
McDonald writes that in 1990, Sanders averaged 13.3 yards per reception, which would have ranked 41st among current qualifying players last season. Just imagine him back in Honolulu blue.
