So Barry Sanders’ Son Has a Little Bit of His Father in Him
By Larry Brown December 12, 2008 - Posted in YouTubeage

Barry Sanders is the best running back I’ve ever seen, and probably will always be the best running back I’ll have ever seen (apologies to my cousin). Heck, he’s probably my second favorite player of all-time, right behind Carl Pickens of course! Sanders had some of the most legendary runs in the history of the league and is known for his ability to make impossible happen. Apparently he’s passed some of his genes along to his son, Barry Sanders Jr., a freshman at Heritage High School in Oklahoma:

The reverse he took the house apparently came in the Oklahoma Class 2A State Semi-Finals. Not like it matters. But if there’s more of Barry Sanders to watch, I’m all for it. Hopefully this kid keeps it up because I sure miss his dad.

    Too bad you never got to see Jim Brown.

    Barry was almost as good as the greatest ever, Emmitt Smith.

    Well, it’s hard to top Sanders as far as highlight runs go …

    Larry, you are certainly in the ballpark when it comes to exciting runners. The only other two I know of who were as exciting at the time they played were Gale Sayers (Chicago Bears) and Hugh McElhenny (San Francisco 49ers). I wish Sanders had not prematurely retired so that he could have set the NFL career yardage from scrimmage record.
