Badass Birthday
Today, 57 years ago, was born Barry Sanders.
He played for the Detroit Lions for just 10 years, as a running back. And in that time, he holds the following records:
- Seasons with 1,500 or more yards rushing (5)
- Consecutive games with 100 or more yards rushing (14)
- Games with 100 or more yards rushing in a season (14)
- 150+ yard rushing games (25)
- 150+ scrimmage yard games (46)
- First running back to have two 80+ yard touchdown runs in a game
And all of that time, the Lions only made it to the playoffs in 5 seasons, winning only one game. So he got all those records, as well as many honors from the NFL, in a span of time when the team he wasn't playing for wasn't very good.
And all that makes him a Badass!
