Ex-NFL player Barry Sanders shocked the sports world when he suddenly retired at the height of his career and disappeared to London, England, during the late ’90s. Now, you have a chance to revisit the mystery with Sanders himself in a new documentary titled Bye Bye Barry. The film is based on the autobiography by the same title (which you can grab here) and will be available to watch starting Monday (Nov. 20) on Prime Video at 7 p.m. ET.

Sports fans across the country were surprised when the former Detroit Lions running back entered an early retirement at the height of his career. Sanders was slated to break Walter Payton’s record for most career rushing yards, but instead decided to walk away from the sport, leaving behind the mystery as to why he left. NFL Films joins the football legend and his four sons as they go back to explore his upbringing, career and finally reveal why he left the NFL.

Even rap star Eminem popped into Thursday Night Football on Nov. 16 to hype up the new documentary saying, “We had the greatest running back that ever played the game,” in the official trailer for the film.
