Its super easy to pin Detroit's culture of losing and Sander's desire to play for a winner as the exclusive reason for what many considered his early retirement. With absolute certainty, Sanders could've played probably at least 3 more years if he so chose to. With that said, the fact is Sanders played 10 years. That is a long time for an NFL running back. Had Sanders played in 1999, he wouldve been 30/31 years old.
Barry Sanders had one of the best seasons in NFL history in 1997, when he ran for 2,053 yards and led the Detroit Lions to the playoffs. The Hall-of-Fame running back signed his final NFL contract just before training camp that year, and celebrated by splurging on a new car. Kind of.
