Barry Sanders Reveals the Reason Behind His Early Retirement

In a recent documentary, former Detroit Lions running back Barry Sanders explained that his decision to retire at the prime of his career was driven by a lack of passion and the belief that the team was not a serious Super Bowl contender. The departure of key players and the team's lack of success also played a role in his decision. Despite being close to breaking Walter Payton's career rushing record, Sanders chose to walk away. He is considered one of the greatest players in NFL history and his unique running style continues to be revered.
