The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Barry Sanders
- Happiness does not come from football awards. It’s terrible to correlate happiness with football. Happiness comes from a good job, being able to feed your wife and kids. I don’t dream football, I dream the American dream – two cars in a garage, be a happy father.
- My desire to exit the game is greater than my desire to remain in it. I have searched my heart through and through and feel comfortable with this decision.
- I quit because I didn’t feel like the Detroit Lions had a chance to win. It just killed my enjoyment of the game.
- I’m not better than anyone else. I’m not supposed to be on a pedestal. I’ve always stayed away from that.
- Let’s just win it and go home.
- I sat behind Thurman Thomas for my first couple of years, then my first year starting I won the Heisman. After I won the Heisman, that’s when things changed as far as going to the NFL.
- Nothing ever turns out the way people expect it to.
- The Heisman is the biggest award I’ve ever won.
- It was a wonderful experience to play in the NFL, and I have no regrets. I truly will miss playing for the Lions. I consider the Lions’ players, coaches, staff, management and fans my family. I leave on good terms with everyone in the organization.
- I’m from Kansas, so there were a lot of vacant lots and open fields to tackle each other in so we could avoid tackling each other on the street. But running on the street and trying not to get taken down on the concrete, that will make you fast, that’s for sure.
