Daryl Theodore Sanders (born April 24, 1941) is a former professional American football player who played offensive tackle for four seasons for the Detroit Lions. He was the 12th overall selection in the first round by the Lions from Ohio State University in the 1963 NFL Draft. A right tackle with the Buckeyes, he was the starting left tackle in each of his four years in Detroit. He retired after the 1966 campaign to accept a sales position in which he was paid a salary almost twice as much as he earned annually while playing in the National Football League.[1]
