One thing for sure,  I've ever seen a defender tackle Barry Sanders as well as Joey Browner.  

Not being a Lions or Vikings fan, I really can't speak with authority on his ability to single tackle Barry Sanders.  But I saw him enough to know he was very good hitter, had outstanding range, and made big plays constantly.  He also comes from a family of pro football players and is a serious martial artist.

 

It sure would be nice if the Jaguars had a safety like him.

 

For those who haven't seen him play before, the most well known "highlight" with him in it was the Steve Young 50 yard scramble to beat the Vikings in the late 80s.  Browner is the guy who jumps on him at the end of the play.

 

Here is a brief clip of him...
