DETROIT -- Lions legend Barry Sanders made defenders look silly with his jukes.

Now, at 54, remnants of his Pro Football Hall of Fame career are on display downtown in the Motor City.

Sanders was on site Tuesday for the grand opening of Barry Sanders' Lefty's Cheesesteak restaurant, located just minutes away from Ford Field, the home of the Lions.

The restaurant is commemorating it's new co-owner with unique memorabilia, which include rare photos and an autographed jersey on the wall as well as highlights from Sanders' high school, college and professional career playing on a mounted television screen.
