The cleats worn by legendary Detroit Lions running back Barry Sanders in his final game are up for bid via Heritage Auctions.

Sanders' final NFL game was in Week 17 of the 1998 season against the Baltimore Ravens. Sanders rushed for 41 yards and caught two passes for 15 yards in a 19-10 loss.

While that game wasn't Sanders' best, he rushed for 1,491 yards that season and was named to his 10th Pro Bowl, which is why the football world was shocked when he decided to retire at the age of 31.
