Thread: Barry Sanders, Jr.

Barry Sander's son doing the same thing his old man did. He's only a freshman, but he's already got game. Watch the video.

Barry Sanders Jr. is a chip off the old block - Shutdown Corner - NFL - Yahoo! Sports

The kid's like a gazelle on steroids. Colleges are probably drooling for a chance to sign him. Think that he'll follow dad into the NFL steez?

Yeah as long as he doesn't go to Detroit.

No doubt an amazing run, but the style of run is not like his father's in the least. Senior was an amazing LOW center of gravity shifty runner. His Son is seen here as a stand up runner, more jumping over his opponents then anything else.

I suspect that what steez is saying is that Sanders Jr. is as good a football player as his dad but that he doesn't necessarily emulate Sr.'s style.

Well that would be quit a statement to make since Sanders senior is possible the greatest running back to have ever played the game. Pretty big shoes.

Pretty good kid who can likely fill those pretty big shoes.

I agree, but I only base it on that clip. He's also pretty young, and to be honest its hard to tell how he will develop.
