Not sure why--we don't like his name (BOB)
don't like his hair...and really can't put our fingers on it but DAMNNN there really is something about this boy!!!!
Full Name: Demond L. "Bob" Sanders
Born: February 24, 1981 in Erie, Pennsylvania
Occupation: American Football player, starting safety for the Indianapolis Colts of the National Football League. Holds 1 Superbowl ring and Probowl selection.
Despite his diminutive size (5 ft 8 in. - 1.73 m), he is known for his speed and hard-hitting. He played college football at the University of Iowa, and in his role as the Colts has earned a reputation as being the glue that holds the Colts' defense together. The 2006 Colts in the playoffs, with Sanders, had the second best run defense with only 73.3 rushing yards allowed per game. He went to help the Colts, on the road, to their victory in Super Bowl XLI (in which he made a key fourth-quarter interception and his hard hitting forced a fumble as well being credited with 3.5 tackles, earning him MVP consideration).
Born with a name (Demond) that was difficult for many to pronounce correctly, Sanders asked his mother if his name could be changed. His mother suggested "Bob" as a nickname, and the name stuck.
