Barry Sanders' cool gesture to Lions fan who was beaten unconscious
NFL legend Barry Sanders is known for being a great guy.
This story only confirms that.
The Hall of Famer heard the gruesome story about a Lions fan who was beaten unconscious after Sunday's Lions-Eagles game in snowy Philadelphia. He also heard the fan was wearing Sanders' jersey.
Now he's sending that fan, a 33-year-old man named Paul, an autographed jersey.
The fan was allegedly beaten up by a group of Eagles fans as he made his way to the train station after the game. They started by throwing snowballs and eventually ended up attacking him. He was treated for a concussion and minor injuries after urinating blood.
