Scott Mitchell, a former teammate and Hall-of-Fame running back, is still a huge fan of former Detroit Lions quarterback Barry Sanders. The Amazon documentary about Sanders' unexpected departure from the NFL, 'Bye Bye Barry,' is a different story entirely. I just watched "Bye Bye Barry" on Amazon Prime,' Mitchell wrote in a Facebook post, first announced by the Detroit News. It wasn't a pleasant experience.' I was a five-year Barry Sanders teammate. I was privileged to some of the most thrilling performances in NFL history. He will never have a competitor as a pure runner in the NFL. I could argue that there were several running backs that were more complete, but I wouldn't. Barry was great!'
