Barry Sanders research paper

My Research assignment is about one of the most interesting sports players of our time. Barry Sanders arguably the best Running Back ever to play the game of football. Barry is not one of those players who is just out there to make money, no he loves the game and is always trying his hardest when he is out there. In my paper there is allot interest information about Barry that not every one knows about him.

Barry Sanders was born July 16th, 1968 in Wichita, Kansas.

He grew up in a family being one of eleven other children. When Barry was a kid he was considered to be too short to play football well at the college level. In fact, his 1417 yards rushing in his senior year of high school wasnt enough to impress college recruiters.

One recruiter told barry's coach, "We dont need another midget."(Sabol.45) Only two colleges offered Barry a football scholarship. Barry accepted a scholarship from Oklahoma State University.

If he was suppose to come out of retirement for sure he would be number 1. Barry Sanders is only 35 he retired when he was only 30 if Jerry Rice is Still playing at the age of 40 so can he. Sanders is Third on the All time rushing list behind Walter Paton{16,726} and Emmit Smith {17,256}. Marcus Allen said "Sanders is the first player in leaugue to rush at least 1000 yards in his first eight first season anytime he touches the ball it's a high-reel."(Sideline Film) Gale Sayers "The Most exciting running back ever seen."(Sideline Film)
