A member of both the college and professional football halls of fame, he was ranked by NFL Top 10 as the most elusive runner in NFL history, and also topped their list of greatest players never to reach the Super Bowl. Averaging over 1,500 rushing yards per season, Sanders left the game just 1,457 yards short of being first place on the list for the NFL all-time rushing record at that time.

This size 52 Russell Athletic Collegiate Legends 1986-1988 Oklahoma State jersey was signed in black by Sanders and inscribed, "Heisman 88." This jersey includes a JSA sticker and COA.
