Barry Sanders reacts to Eminem’s commentary about him, Eminem responds

Detroit legend Eminem has recently appeared in the latest Amazon Prime Video’s documentary, titled “Bye Bye Barry” about former American football player Barry Sanders, a running back who played for the Detroit Lions of the National Football League for 10 seasons.

Sanders led the league in rushing yards four times and in rushing touchdowns once, establishing himself as one of the most elusive runners in the history of the NFL with his quickness and agility, despite being only 5 ft 8 in tall and weighing 203 lbs.

Barry shared one of the Eminem segments from the documentary on X, in which, Em says: “I’ve seen every documentary on Barry Sanders that there is to see and I never walked away feeling like I knew why he walked away. Still to this day, everybody talks about he is the greatest running back that ever played the game and I know that he walked away at a time when he could have broken every single record there ever was and ever will be.”

In the caption, Barry wrote: There is really no way to describe hearing @Eminem say he was fan. Scoring major points with the kids on this one.”
