As a big-time football fan, the Running Back position has always been my favorite.  And without a shadow of a doubt (at least in my honest opinion), Barry Sanders was the greatest player to ever play this position.

Though short at 5’8, no other player had the ability to outwit defenders based on sheer mobility and speed.  Throughout his career, a broken play was consistently turned in a highlight reel, thanks to his ability to create turmoil at the line of scrimmage.  And best of all, he was a first-class guy, even till his untimely retirement during the prime of his career. 

I don’t know if there will ever be another running back like Barry Sanders, but rest assured, his legacy will be remembered for a long time to come.  Check out the highlight reel and you will know what I mean.
