Detroit Lions fans will love this limited-edition Billy Sims bobblehead
Billy Sims was something different. A lot of younger Detroit Lions fans probably don't remember the man who led the Lions backfield before Barry Sanders, but he was an absolute beast.
A violent, low-to-the-ground runner with exceptional explosiveness, Sims was a nightmare for opposing defenses.
His five-year run in Detroit was nothing short of spectacular. In 60 games Sims carried the ball 1,131 times for 5,106 yards and 42 touchdowns. He also had 186 catches for 2,072 yards and five touchdowns.
And before Barry broke it, he set the franchise record for rushing yards. Unfortunately, a severe knee injury ended his career in 1984.
Still, we'll always remember plays like this:
That's why it's so cool that our friends at FOCO are releasing a limited-edition Billy Sims bobblehead, which highlights his Sports Illustrated cover. Check it out below.
