As the Detroit Lions seem likely face a future without wide receiver Calvin Johnson, former running back Barry Sanders is speaking out about the potential ramifications for the franchise.
According to Josh Katzenstein of the Detroit News, Sanders said losing Johnson would be a grueling situation for the Lions: “It would certainly be difficult. He’s given a lot to our organization and our team and such a great player and one of those guys you just love having in your organization. Hey, it would be devastating, no question about it.
