Still, there was no question that the greatest Detroit Lion of all-time has to be Barry Sanders.
In the ten seasons that he played, Sanders was named to the Pro Bowl in every single one of them. He is a member of the 2,000 Yards Rushing (in a season) club, a four-time rushing champion, six-time First Team All-Pro, and a former MVP.
He is the answer to the question of who is the best player to never play in a Super Bowl, but can you imagine how they would have done if he wasn’t a Lion? They probably would have made the playoffs at all!
The Running Back entered the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2004, and his number was retired the same year by the Lions. The team also inducted Sanders as part of the first group of their Pride of the Lions in 2009, and he was also later named to the 100th NFL Anniversary Team.
