That man could stick a tackle like no other and looked like he jumped 6 feet in the air to intercept the ball.
Sanders was one of the main reasons why Peyton won his 1st Super Bowl... I'm not saying that Sanders carried that team, but the Colt's achille's heal was always their defense and Sanders was a pivotal player on a much improved defense that lead to Peyton winning the Super Bowl
As a life long colts fan, I remember the details well. Obviously, Manning is the main reason the won the SB, but without Bob on the field they do not get there. Sanders totally transformed the defense when he was on the filed. During the 2006 season, while Bob was hurt, until just before the playoff run, the offense was under pressure to score 30+ points in order to have a chance to win, and the run D was awful. During the playoffs with Bob on the field, the run D shut opposing teams run game down. His being on the field elevated their D to an entire new level, and some of it was his playmaking and torpedoing any run, but his being on the field also created an attitude and intensity they did not have without him. Probably my all-time favorite Hawkeye.
My son was young when Bob played. I used to always tell him that if he sees a player's head snap back, Bob was usually at the bottom of the pile.
