Barry Sanders' last All-Pro as well as last season playing in the playoffs. Yes, Bobby Ross hopping onboard Detroit.

I have heard things about Sanders being unsatisfied with Ross, and how he was a reason he didn't come back. If so, 1997 was the beginning of the end for a legend.

Barry talked in his documentary about his frustration in 1997 with the team's direction being compounded by his emotions while watching Reggie Brown laying on the turf in the season finale, and that he'd basically had enough.

I can understand that.
