Barry Sanders inspired millions with his brilliance on the gridiron during his Hall of Fame career with the Detroit Lions. Now, the legendary NFL running back is hoping to inspire others once again, albeit in an entirely different way.

NFL legend Barry Sanders revealed roughly a year ago that he had experienced a major health scare, and the former Detroit Lions star is now sharing more details.

Barry Sanders is sharing it all this June with the hope of inspiring his fans in a different way. A year ago, the Hall of Famer announced he suffered a “health scare related to his heart,” and he recently shared in a CBS interview that it was a heart attack while attending a recruiting visit for his son.
