The Future is Barry Sanders! Junior that is.

Many were disappointed when Barry Sanders hung up his shoes in 1998. After 10 years of highlights, the running back decided to retire. He still had mileage left in his legs and ankles to give fans a few more years. Fret not people, for Mr. Sanders has a son, Barry Sanders Jr. He is finishing up his freshmen year at Heritage Hall H.S. located in Oklahoma. His freshmen year he suited up for the varsity team, listed at 5-10 170lb. Remember this kid has 3 more years of high school and chances are he will go to an Oklahoma university once he is done with high school. Definitely keep an eye on this kid in the coming years. I know I will. I can still remember his Dad playing and being amazed by what he did on the football field. Now I can see a glimpse of that talent in his son and I am excited about the possibilities of seeing another Barry Sanders on the football field making jaws drop.

Check out the video of the young Sanders:
