Some records weren’t meant to be broken.
When assembling a list like this, I have to make a disclaimer. I could write a post about the 10 Barry Sanders Records That Will Never Be Broken, and I would still be leaving a dozen or so out. So I might skip a couple of the redundant or on-the-nose numbers in lieu of another Cowboy and for the sake of variety.
That being said, let’s start with the man himself.
1. Single-Season Rushing Yards (2,850*) — Barry Sanders, 1988
This record seems pretty safe, even though the NCAA incorrectly only credits Barry with with 2,628 during his junior Heisman-winning season.
