Now that he's no longer a Colt, I've got to admit that Bob Sanders was one of my favourite non-Patriots players.
(Being injured a lot is a strange thing. On the one hand, there are so many injuries in the NFL that some people will throw bad dice several times in a row. If the rehab is complete then there is no reason to think that a guy will have the same bad luck again in the future. On the other hand, some injuries are cumulative and take the edge off the athleticism players need to be right at the top (perfect example: Deion Branch) Could Sanders still be a special player in the future? For someone whose game is based on explosive hitting you'd have to bet against.)
