Yeah I agree. Although there are a majority of stand up, great guys in the NFL. The league seems to not care about who they bring in now to make money for the league. I mean look at all the guys who are getting arrested, is it 29? Aaron Hernandez is a case in point...
Well, Sanders is from my home state of Kansas, so I'm biased. Speaking of character, Sanders was a religious guy and used to give something like 10% of his income to his church. This was before people started creating charities as a way to employ friends and family members, while also getting tax write-offs. Or at least I believe this practice was far less common at the time. Plus, how many truly competitive running backs well on their way to achieving the rushing record would retire prior to doing so out of respect for the fallen great, Walter Payton?
