Pro Football Hall of Fame running back Barry Sanders says he 'experienced a health scare related to my heart' last weekend. 'It was unexpected and served as a reminder of the importance of staying vigilant about our physical well-being, even when we are feeling fine,' the former Detroit Lions great said in a statement posted Friday on social media. The Lions issued their own social media post saying, 'Get well soon Barry.
Per my doctors’ recommendation, I am taking this opportunity to prioritize my health and well-being. I appreciate your understanding and continued support.' Sanders, who turns 56 next month, was a six-time All-Pro while starring for the Lions from 1989-98 before his sudden retirement. He rushed for 15,269 yards and 99 touchdowns in his career, including 2,053 yards in his MVP season of 1997. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2004.
