Recap
After 3 straight season in which the Lions failed to win more then 5 games the Lions try to repeat history by reviving their fortunes by picking another RB who won the Heisman in the first round. This time the RB was named Barry Sanders, and much like Billy Sims 9 years earlier Sanders takes home the Offensive Rookie of the Year, and helps the Lions to a more respectable 7-9 record.
