Saw this on ESPN also... Darren was a great College & NFL Player. He was one of the top returners of all time. A compact but powerful RB and kick returner, he amazing balance & change of direction and could kick in the afterburners when needed.

He's had a great 15 year career, but has had a few injuries the last couple of ones. Great job from KSU's own Darren Sproles in the League!!

Congrats on a great career in both college and the NFL, Mr. Sproles!

Several players behind him in All Purpose yards are in the Pro Fotball Hall of Fame. Sproles has a SB ring and nearly 20,000 all purpose yards. He'll be the 1st KSU Wildcat in the NFL HOF.

i think there's a chance. certainly, if one goes by the numers, it ought to be 'so'.

on top of all he was able to do, did do, he influenced NFL ideas of what a football player is.
If you have to be persuaded, reminded, pressured, lied to, incentivized, coerced, bullied, socially shamed, guilt-tripped, threatened, punished and criminalized...you can be absolutely certain that what is being promoted is not in your best interest
