All time Detroit Lions’ great Barry Sanders, may not ever be back in the NFL like fans have been hoping for since he retired. However, Barry Sanders Jr., the son of the all-time great may very well be one day.

Barry Sanders Jr. (although he really isn’t a Jr. since he has a different middle name than his father) plays for Oklahoma City Heritage Hall in high school. He had a game this past Friday night in which he ran the ball 13 times for a whopping 313 yards. He also scored 5 touchdowns in that game against Tulsa NOAH. All this came in limited action. Sanders already has 970 yards and 14 touchdowns this season.

As for college, he won’t be graduating high school until 2012, but he apparently has chosen 4 schools that he is most interested in attending. Those schools are Florida State, Alabama, UCLA and Oklahoma State. However, Sanders admits that this list may change.

Could Barry Sanders Jr. one day follow in his father’s footsteps and play for the Detroit Lions? It’s not impossible.
