Re: Happy 51st Birthday to legendary NFL RB Barry Sanders
I remember when he retired. Everyone had the exact same reaction. What! Why??? He had 99 career touchdowns and was within one season of being the all time leading rusher then at 30 years old he said he was done. They had a good Espn doc about him and mainly his college days where he replaced Thurman Thomas and was torching all the records.

Why exactly did he retire so early? One could argue he was still in his prime. He could have moved to another team for a championship run
