Frank Sanders
After lettering four seasons at Auburn and spending nine years in the NFL, Frank Sanders has been chosen as one of the 14 former Southeastern Conference players to be named to the 2013 SEC Football Legends Class.

The announcement came on Sept. 19. The class will be honored at the 2013 SEC Football “Weekend of Champions” on Dec. 6-7 in Atlanta.

Sanders’ playing days at Auburn came from 1991-94, with his senior year being nothing short of successful. He was named first-team All-America by the Associated Press after leading the SEC with 910 receiving yards and breaking Auburn’s single-season record with 58 receptions.

Sanders finished his career with 121 receptions for 1,998 yards and 15 touchdowns.

In the 1995 NFL Draft, the wideout was taken in the second round by the Arizona Cardinals, which he played for through the 2002 season. After spending the following season with the Baltimore Ravens, Sanders retired.

Sanders had 507 receptions for 6,749 yards and 24 touchdowns during his professional career. His best season came in 1998 when he led the NFC in receptions with 89 for 1,145 yards and three touchdowns.
