Hall of Fame former running back Barry Sanders said Friday on X that he suffered a heart-related "health scare" the weekend of June 16.
"It was unexpected and served as a reminder of the importance of staying vigilant about our physical well-being, even when we are feeling fine," Sanders wrote.
Sanders established himself as one of the greatest players in NFL history through ten seasons with the Detroit Lions between 1989 and 1998.
He was recently in attendance with the Lions at the 2024 NFL Draft in April.
