what age did barry sanders retire
Its super easy to pin Detroit's culture of losing and Sander's desire to play for a winner as the exclusive reason for what many considered his early retirement. With absolute certainty, Sanders could've played probably at least 3 more years if he so chose to. With that said, the fact is Sanders played 10 years. That is a long time for an NFL running back. Had Sanders played in 1999, he wouldve been 30/31 years old.
