In his Junior Season:

-Sanders rushed for 2,628 yards, an NCAA record.

-He had 3,249 total yards, an NCAA record.

-Sanders scored 39 TDs (37 rushing, 1 kick return, 1 punt return), an NCAA record.

-He averaged 7.6 yards per carry.

-He rushed for 300+ yards in four games.

This was all during an 11-game regular season and him many times sitting out for whole 4th quarters! Unreal.

How many guys just hand the ball to the referee after a touchdown anymore?

He broke 24 records in only his 1st season as the #1back in OSU.

He went on to break many more in the NFL. But to Barry Sanders it wasnt about the records the fame or the money. Which is what set him apart from almost if not all athletes in modern sports. Truly a class act all the way

Yeah, he didn't play in the fourth quarter even though he needed just one yard to break Craig James' record. That just shows how less he cares about personal records.

Don't blame Madden, blame Sportscenter and the highlight shows.

thanks for the posts

None, because no one has class like Barry anymore, I blame Madden and his video games that glorify acting like an ass when you score

I agree!!!!

couldnt agree more.. they said he was too small..but hes got the speed moves and mental toughness.. and then hands the ball back..he doesnt put his foot on it and pretends hes an eagle or any of that.. good RB inspires me on how i play..like in one video..type in coreys touchdown and click on the first one
