Bob Bleeping Sanders

Why? He didn't let bob compete in practice and we all know with kirk pracitce is the only thing that matters.
He didn’t let Bob compete in practice because in practice, he broke Fred Russell’s collar bone.
 
I always thought it was Demond “Bob” Sanders but it after watching him play it’s Demond “Freaking Bob” Sanders. That guy was a player and will be fun to see him part of the HoF.
 
Walked past him in the business building on my way to an accounting class a lot in '03. He was probably the scariest looking dude I've ever crossed paths with at eye level in my life. He was one strong looking 5'9 man.

Sanders had a swagger that will never show up in the stats. He elevated the entire defense. This carried through in Indy as well. Amazing.
