Most of the old school athletes were/are that way. They were true professionals and didn't "market" themselves. They just let their game do the talking.
It’s not weird if you grew up in this era. This new social media generation is pure narcissism. Back then, people still had values and morals and were normal
He looks like a child in that couch. I'm 58 yrs old, By far the best RB I had the privilege to watch play. One of the classiest to play the game. When he scored, he always acted like he'd been there before and will be back for another.
Never a lions fan but Barry was my favorite. Seahawks are my team I live North of the border but took a ferry and drove for 2 hours to see Barry play, thanks for being so cool 😎
No he wasn't. He couldn't get short yardage, he couldn't pick up blitzes and he was a below average receiver. He is the most exciting RB maybe but greatest🤣
@@drexlspivey3047 dude averaged 99.8 yards per game. 10/10 pro bowls. 5 seasons of 1500 or more yards. Never rushed for less than 1100 yards. the only season he rushed for less than 1,300 yards was when he missed five games with a knee injury. Hes the best RB ever.
@@demarcdegasol Jim brown avg 105 yds per game. He played 118 games, never missed a start. 9/9 pro bowls, 9/9 All pro( 8 1st team), 3 MVPs, 8 Rushing titles. Case closed😜
@@trumpsflushingdocumentsaga2689 If Jim Brown was playing against them big defensive players in the 90s there’s no way he’s averaging 105yds over his career. Plus if Barry was playing against those clumsy cab drivers in the late 50 to early 60 he would probably average 150yds a game for his career.
@@viperguyz The only reason i wouldnt say Brown was the greatest was because Barry's dad always said he was and even called Barry the 3rd greatest RB ever, not sure who was #2? But i respect Barry too much to say anything bad about his dad but what he said about him at his Hall of Fame induction speech was even offensive to me and i better had just leave it at that. But as far Jim Brown goes he was playing in a time when defenses were generally much slower and less complex than today and players as fast and strong as Brown would simply abuse them. Just imagine what Barry would have done against those teams in the 60's and 70's,...oh wait i forgot that Brown retired in '65 after just about 8 seasons...and i thought he was supposed to be Mr. Reliability or something like that?
I was a videographer in Tulsa back in the 80s. The first OSU game I ever worked and the first time I ever saw Barry play he received a kickoff...and proceed to blow everyone off the field and score. He was amazing.
It’s good to see him, I think this may be the first interview that I have seen him in since his playing days. This guy was an amazing back and one of the best ever!
This is so cool to see Barry looking happy and healthy. Also, even though he was soft-spoken during his playing days, I knew he had that engaging persona in him somewhere. He's definitely someone that appears to be in a cool space, and I'm sure it's well deserved.
Barry is probably one of the nicest humans in the world. Got a chance to meet him in 1991. December, right before Xmas in Stillwater, OK. Very humble man. Does not think hes better than anybody. He is the best running back of all time. Period... Love that man.
i was 11 in 1989 when barry came up and he was awesome to watch. i like him as a person more than a football player because he is humble and down to earth, i think barry was talking about Tim Harris as the big trash talker for greenbay back in the early 90's
I was never a Detroit Lions fan but I love to see this man Deion Sanders play every Sunday to me he is one of the great running backs I ever saw my three favorite running backs are Barry Sanders Walter Payton and Bo Jackson
Loved watching him play and especially loved when he would score a TD...just handed the ball to the ref. He expected to score and when he ran, he made the pro's look like amateurs. The most exciting RB to ever play professional football, by far.
Every single Michigan resident loves Barry Sanders, he was the most fun player to watch. The numbers he put up are amazing because we really didn’t have a passing game or a good O line. Barry just didn’t good down and he is by far the greatest RB ever
I can not convey to anyone the feeling of pure joy and privilege that I felt living in Michigan and getting to cheer for Barry. Win, lose. I didn't care. I was a winner every time I got to see him play football. Thx Barry.
My favorite RB of all time! Humble, gracious and left your jaw on the floor. We can wonder what could have been had there been a better O-Line and a commitment to building around him. Love that he retired on his own terms.
Barry is the Goat at RBs . Think about it, he legitimately could have been the only 20k rusher. You give me 3 year RB Priest Holmes 5 year it's Derrick Henry 10 years its Barry. Barry had longevity and tore up the league
Barry seems like the kind of guy who is reserved but once you get him out of his shell he's the funniest guy at the party. I love his interviews during the 2 week period up to the Superbowl.
I've seen Barry outrun people with one shoe on. Love Barry but wish he would have left our beloved Lions to get a ring. GOAT for sure. Thanks for all the great runs I was lucky enough to see in person.
Barry Sanders was not only exceptional athlete and football player but is simply a beautiful humble human being. If they could make a pill called Barry Sanders and feed it to the present day woke NFL and their players presently, we would have an absolutely fantastic league. What a class act on and off the field (he would politely hand the ball to the refs - no spiking it or any antics, after scoring a touchdown. THE best running back ever, bar none!
Being from Wichita myself, this guy is huge in KS. IMO, best ever, but he'd never say it. Class act too. Anyone who played football in KS looked up to him and tried to take pieces from his game to apply to their own.
One of my favorite anecdotes of Barry's playing career, is that he would take naps at halftime. Dang near unheard of in sports, but if you can work that magic like he does... do whatever you have to do. I guess maintaining that calm energy, over amped energy was more his style.
Barry is my All- Time Favorite Athlete But Prime Time Not Only played Both MLB And NFL But Played All Defense (Among Goats In Cornerback Position) Offense (Wide out) And Kickoff and Punt Returning.
As an Oklahoma state fan, I love the fact the Barry still said he’d go play for Tulsa 😂 I’m a state fan, but living closer to Tulsa it would have blown my mind haha
Barry Sanders is my ALL TIME favorite football player bar position. In my mind The GOAT.
Your mind is broke.
Did the most with less 👑💯
Its an interesting debate. Great player for sure.
Brady is the goat but in my opinion Barry Sanders is the best RB of all time.
Yup. Must watch TV and my favorite too
It’s weird to see a player who was so dynamic and exciting on the field, be such a low-key, mild mannered and genuinely humble dude off the field.
That’s why he da fuccin 🐐!!!
Seems like a guy who was the best at not taking hits lol he let the field talk for him
Most of the old school athletes were/are that way. They were true professionals and didn't "market" themselves. They just let their game do the talking.
It’s not weird if you grew up in this era. This new social media generation is pure narcissism. Back then, people still had values and morals and were normal
@@Ferrari-sw7nl Well put.
Not only the greatest running back, but the most humble, too. He did all his work between the snap and the whistle.
Absolutely, wow 15269 yards in 10 seasons, insane talent, so down to earth, humble ...5'8" 205...the best.
I was about to say the same thing
My favorite football player. Imo the greatest RB. Humble and never celebrated a touchdown. He got the job done every game he played
Humble, honest, I'd vote for Mr. Sanders if he rans for President.....We need someone who is honest, brave and not ashamed to be humble.
He looks like a child in that couch. I'm 58 yrs old, By far the best RB I had the privilege to watch play. One of the classiest to play the game. When he scored, he always acted like he'd been there before and will be back for another.
He has the best balance of talent and humbleness of any pro athlete I’ve ever seen .
Never a lions fan but Barry was my favorite. Seahawks are my team I live North of the border but took a ferry and drove for 2 hours to see Barry play, thanks for being so cool 😎
Here here!
Barry Sanders was the greatest running back of all time. It's weird to realize that he's just 2 years older than I am but has been retired since 1998.
No he wasn't. He couldn't get short yardage, he couldn't pick up blitzes and he was a below average receiver. He is the most exciting RB maybe but greatest🤣

This man is the goat for not only his freak of nature athletic ability but his showmanship off the field as well. Hats off to the legend, so humble
What a class act!!! One of the most humble legends ever to play the game..
I was a videographer in Tulsa back in the 80s. The first OSU game I ever worked and the first time I ever saw Barry play he received a kickoff...and proceed to blow everyone off the field and score. He was amazing.
You should have told the Green Bay packers that story
Such a humble guy.... Best ever in my humble opinion. Good man all the way around.
Greatest ever, never seen him this open, good to see
It’s good to see him, I think this may be the first interview that I have seen him in since his playing days. This guy was an amazing back and one of the best ever!
He's been on during superbowl week for several years
@@jeffproctor2897 Thanks for letting me know. I didn’t know that. Maybe it’s in the contract with Rocket Mortgage.
"One of"? The best ever. Possible exception of Jim Brown.
Barry Sanders is my late husband favorite football player, my husband was born in Detroit. He loved Barry, watching him play games he was amazing!!
BS is one of the greatest athletes I have ever seen in my lifetime. What an humble, authentic man.
Barry is so nice. What a gentleman.
This is so cool to see Barry looking happy and healthy. Also, even though he was soft-spoken during his playing days, I knew he had that engaging persona in him somewhere. He's definitely someone that appears to be in a cool space, and I'm sure it's well deserved.
I love this man.. so humble yet the goat.
"As a running back what more is there to do but score a touchdown".....classic humble statement...
Barry is class act. What a legend, really glad I got to watch him play.
I cant help but laugh when Barry laughs
Humble man. Very refreshing.
Classy HOF player. We could use more guys like Sanders in sports today!
Just a humble and grateful human being. Never ever will talk negative about another player.
Never tire of watching his video.
barry is so humble. this man was amazing!!
Barry Sanders is the reason I started watching football. Still my favourite player of all time. True GOAT 🐐!
I know a hall of famer but between never winning a super bowl and retiring early think Barry might be one of the more underrated players in the hall
He did his dancing between the #'s. Blessings to Mr. Sanders. Best to ever do it
Barry is probably one of the nicest humans in the world. Got a chance to meet him in 1991. December, right before Xmas in Stillwater, OK. Very humble man. Does not think hes better than anybody. He is the best running back of all time. Period... Love that man.
One of the classiest superstars of all-time
The NFL needs more athletes with the intelligence, discipline, humility, and sense of humor like that of Barry Sanders.
Classy guy and one of the best RB in NFL history! He mentioned he didn't get the job done. No it was th Lions who didn't get the job done.
Good comment, Mark.
I hate to tell you this Mr. Sanders, but you are by far the best running back that ever played the game of football.
When Barry Sanders talks,
I listen
Barry's the man! He's definitely a role model.
i was 11 in 1989 when barry came up and he was awesome to watch. i like him as a person more than a football player because he is humble and down to earth, i think barry was talking about Tim Harris as the big trash talker for greenbay back in the early 90's
Wow! Barry is still so humble and just a class act! When he talks about his dad, totally see that ! Love it
Favorite player of all time. Legend.
I was never a Detroit Lions fan but I love to see this man Deion Sanders play every Sunday to me he is one of the great running backs I ever saw my three favorite running backs are Barry Sanders Walter Payton and Bo Jackson
Wow. The humility of Barry Sanders. Current athletes could learn a lot from this man.
Loved watching him play and especially loved when he would score a TD...just handed the ball to the ref. He expected to score and when he ran, he made the pro's look like amateurs. The most exciting RB to ever play professional football, by far.

Cowboys fan who knows Barry Sanders was the best running back of all time.
He’s such a good interview.
What a humble guy...he was very loyal to the Lions...he would have had several rings with a strong team..
I can not convey to anyone the feeling of pure joy and privilege that I felt living in Michigan and getting to cheer for Barry. Win, lose. I didn't care. I was a winner every time I got to see him play football. Thx Barry.
This is the most chill I've ever seen him.
Detroit loves you barry a real class act you had us at the edge of our seats thanks for the years
Barry the GOAT or one of the best ever running backs! HOF and humble!
My favorite RB of all time! Humble, gracious and left your jaw on the floor. We can wonder what could have been had there been a better O-Line and a commitment to building around him. Love that he retired on his own terms.
He was so fun to watch. Every time he got the ball you waited for something you’ve never seen before. Bo was like that in football and baseball.
This man is incredibly likeable. What a pleasant dude. You would never think this guy was the best RB ever. So unassuming. He has such a cool aura.
Barry was absolutely amazing!
Bo Jackson, original Tecmo Bowl, nuff said.
Barry is the Goat at RBs . Think about it, he legitimately could have been the only 20k rusher. You give me 3 year RB Priest Holmes 5 year it's Derrick Henry 10 years its Barry. Barry had longevity and tore up the league
The world could use a few more people like Barry Sanders
in terms of what I watch football for Barry is the goat
He’s so likable
Barry seems like the kind of guy who is reserved but once you get him out of his shell he's the funniest guy at the party. I love his interviews during the 2 week period up to the Superbowl.
He DOES remind me a bit of Joe Frazier. What a class act and perhaps the best running back ever. Walter Payton is my choice for all around half back.
Miss watching him play, but enjoy hearing him talk. Great guy!
I've seen Barry outrun people with one shoe on. Love Barry but wish he would have left our beloved Lions to get a ring. GOAT for sure. Thanks for all the great runs I was lucky enough to see in person.
go watch his induction speech to the HOF. Beautifully humble man
BARRY, WAS THE BEST.
HANDS DOWN. NOTHING
LIKE HIM .
Love Barry he’s hilarious
Love seeing Barry. #20
God bless Barry Sanders!!!
What a class act… love this guy!!
Love Barry!

My all-time favorite sports player. Very humble man.
Fantastic Barry 👏👏
It's so crazy how the greatest running back of all time is so humble even in retirement.
wondering if dan would like to be a guest on a show where all he was asked was who was better in his field
Barry is without question the greatest running back ever.
My favorite football player of all time. I've never seen Barry laugh so much.
Being from Wichita myself, this guy is huge in KS. IMO, best ever, but he'd never say it. Class act too. Anyone who played football in KS looked up to him and tried to take pieces from his game to apply to their own.
What a class dude...BARRY freakin' SANDERS
How is anyone this humble? My god. Bo was the greatest athlete since Jesse owens.
Most exciting running back to ever carry the pigskin. Only player that made it a joy to be a lion fan.
Always been a good man!
The respect for his father, when asked how he would feel about celebrating after making touchdowns. Says alot about how he was raised. Thats class.
My favorite nfl player ever... I had pics of him at ok st jumping over the goaline cut out from sports illustrated.. and his humility is humbling
In my opinion Barry Sanders Jerry Rice LT Dion Sanders & Ed Reed are the greatest football players at their respective position for sure.
One of my favorite anecdotes of Barry's playing career, is that he would take naps at halftime. Dang near unheard of in sports, but if you can work that magic like he does... do whatever you have to do. I guess maintaining that calm energy, over amped energy was more his style.
Reminds of Kimi Raikkonen falling asleep before his first F1 race
Barry is my All- Time Favorite Athlete But Prime Time Not Only played Both MLB And NFL But Played All Defense (Among Goats In Cornerback Position) Offense (Wide out) And Kickoff and Punt Returning.
Greatest running back of all time nobody even comes close!!
I love Barry
Barry is just cut from a different cloth!
Needs to go into politics... Has my vote!
What a humble guy! He never talked trash to anyone, he let his running speak for him!
Greatest running back of all-time
The best running back in NFL history
Greatest of All Time
Man, that sofa looks so comfortable.
I'm happy to see that he is in good spirits.
So humble
As an Oklahoma state fan, I love the fact the Barry still said he’d go play for Tulsa 😂 I’m a state fan, but living closer to Tulsa it would have blown my mind haha
The goat all around
Dan Patrick..the absolute king of putting these guys on the spot then forcing you to answer...let it go man
Legend nuff said 👏
