Barry Sanders Statue a First For Detroit Lions

Barry Sanders was honored with a bronze statue at Ford Field in Detroit, the first for the Detroit Lions NFL. Sculptors Omri Amrany and Lou Cella captured many specific details, most obviously showing his signature zigzag action. The 8-foot bronze balances on one toe, reminding the fans how Sanders evaded opponents with his speed and athleticism.
