Tom Brady recently voiced his frustration with modern football, claiming that it has a lot of mediocrity. However, Hall of Famer Barry Sanders disagrees with Brady’s sentiment.
During an interview on Robert Griffin III’s podcast, Sanders expressed his belief that the current NFL season has been excellent. He suggested that Brady’s perspective may be skewed by watching the struggling Patriots and Buccaneers, while Sanders has been enjoying the success of the Lions, who have an 8-3 record.
Sanders defended his team, stating, “Maybe he’s talking about the teams he played for, but the team I played for? The team that I played for, no. It’s anything but mediocre.” Despite the criticism, Sanders remains optimistic about the Lions’ performance and the overall quality of the game. He emphasized, “I think this is the greatest product, the greatest thing we’ve ever seen as Lions fans. So I’m gonna enjoy this for a while.”
Despite the Lions’ lackluster playoff history during Sanders’ tenure, they are poised to make a strong postseason showing this year. Sanders and his fellow Lions fans are hopeful for a successful playoff run, marking a significant improvement from past performances.
