Former NFL offensive lineman-turned-football analyst Brian Baldinger (NFL Network, Fox Sports, Compass Media Networks) is excited about the scrimmage tomorrow (Tuesday, August 8) between the Detroit Lions and the New York Giants at Allen Park.
With the video below, Baldinger adds to the excitement: “Whispers are that HOFer Barry Sanders is going to be talking with Andrew Siciliano and myself” and tagged another HOFer, Warren Sapp.

Sanders, who was the No. 3 overall pick in the 1989 NFL Draft (after Troy Aikman and Tony Mandarich), played all ten of his NFL seasons with the Lions.
When Sanders saw Baldinger’s tweet above, he replied: “Those are the “whispers” huh?” Baldinger replied: “I have been given bad information before Barry. Hope we got it right this time,” with a series of thumb’s up emojis.
