That non-tackle by the Bills at 1:47 is one of the most insane displays of strength, balance, agility, and sheer will power I have ever seen. Love it. Barry was the best.
This is THE run that made me a lifelong Barry fan…I believe it ended up being for no gain, but it may be the best/most entertaining run for no gain in NFL history
Barry Sanders retired 21 years ago. To this day nobody has done on the field what he has done. The moves he made have not been replicated. I can't think of another athlete, in any sport, that we can say that about. In a sports world where evolution of athletes happens so quickly that is probably the greatest legacy that Sanders left.
the only person i compare sanders to is pavel datsyuk. both did things (running/puck handling) that havent been seen before or after they retired. they both embarrassed professional players and made them look like they didnt belong on the field/rink

Marshawn lynch was a mix of both. He was a power back. He had a bad o-line, but still managed to create magic like Barry did. Plus he helped his team win a Super Bowl.
Marshawn Lynch literally carried his team to 2 Super Bowls. Marshawn ran his best when his team needed him the most (THE PLAYOFFS) Barry took his team to what? An NFC Championship? Cool. But it's all personal preference. I like a running back to intimidate the other team with his brutal power house running game and 2 Super Bowl appearances than someone who rushed 1000+ yards in consecutive seasons but no Super Bowl achievements. Who did the Seahawks have on offense that could even compare to Marshawn? Russell Wilson? Russell needed Marshawn back there with him.
irhungry66 hahaha r u serious? u just made it more clear that ur an idiot. those seahawks teams were well rounded, way better than any team Barry ever played on. the seahawks had awesome defenses and a good mix of run/pass on offense. defense shows in the playoffs and when u have a defense that good and r winning u can run the ball as much as possible without fear of losing the lead. the lions never had a defense in the same league as those seahawk teams
Hell, I just feel blessed to have been born in 1975... to have seen the greatest athletes/eras in ALL major sports: basketball (Jordan, Magic, Bird, Olajuwon, Shaq, Kobe, Lebron); football (Montana, Rice, Taylor, Peyton, Marino, Sanders [Barry], Sanders [Deion], Favre, Lewis, Woodson, Moss, Manning, Brady, and Reed [Ed]); boxing (Leonard, Duran, Hagler, Hearns, Tyson, Holyfield, Toney, Jones Jr., Whitaker, Mayweather Jr., Pacquiao); baseball (Jackson, Martinez, Rivera, Jeter, Johnson [Randy], Bonds), and even hockey (in the early 90's we donned LA Kings Jerseys because Gretzky was a WINNER, not because we knew fuck shit about the sport... we didn't). Don't even get me started on the music of the 1980's and 1990's. We Gen-Xer's were some spoiled ass motherfuckers, lmao!
Violent - Put Barry behind Emmitt's O line in Dallas and Emmitt behind the line in the Detroit and tell me both still have same numbers. Nope, Sanders is the GOAT.
I'm 33 years old and I can honestly say that this man was single-handedly the reason why I started rooting for Detroit back in 1990, yes when I was only 6 years old. Because of his short statue, I grew to love seeing him play because he was always against all odds, being one of, if not the shortest man on the field. I'm a true die-hard Lions fans because even when the team went winless, I STILL was repping my Lions 🦁🦁🦁🏈🏈 because Barry had me hooked!!! 😂😂😂 I always hoped and wished that he had more offensive weapons around him but that never happened other than Herman Moore. Brett Perriman wasn't dependable and our QBs... well.... That's another story.
I grew up in Chicago watching the great Walter Payton, but I still gotta go with Barry as the goat. So fast, and he could spin and bounce off you or just flat out make you miss. Fastest recovery I've ever seen. He could go from 60 to 0 and back to 60 in a blink. Two strides and he was back at full speed again.
I like Barry Sanders, but I love Walter "Sweetness" Payton....he was the man on and off the field. He don't have "The Man of the Year" award named after him for nothing...no offense to Barry, but I've always admired Mr. Walter Payton.
The best RB to ever play. His offensive line and QBs sucked for his entire career and he still put up insane numbers. Switch places with Emmitt Smith and it'd be so clear.
put barry on the team jim brown had and you would say its barry all the way...he is insane of an athlete one of the few that could still compete now days
Matt Pawlowski i believe you so much if calvin was there too no team would ever beat them the best in the world barry sander is amazing and he deserved a superbowl ring
The greatest running back to every play the game! He had class as well, was humble, never took anything for granted and always credited his team and coaches! Emmett Smith will always be second fiddle to Sanders
This video is the one I would want a full scale rework of the most. My personal favorite sports star of all time. Barry Sanders is the greatest of all time, and seeing more of his showstopping runs and coverage I never have gotten to hear and see I would just adore. I’ll keep looking out and hope. Keep up the work JV!
The Lion king!! Sanders gave me chills watching him run. I have never seen a runner like him, nor will there be ever. Jim Brown was powerful but Barry was complete.
It's hard to pick who is the greatest RB of all time but I would give it to 3 people: Barry Sanders, Jim Brown and Walter Payton. Thing about Sanders is that he was always very humble and continues to be that way, no matter how awesome a TD he would score he would simply just hand the ball to the ref.
The best RB I have ever had the privilege to watch. Imagine if he ran behind a line like Emmitt Smith. How many rings would he have? He would be the number one rusher in NFL history by far
Hands down best RB ever. I'd loved to have seen him play for real. I don't think anybody could touch his numbers if he played a full career. Especially if he played for a good team. Barry was the reason that lions won what they did when he played.
My memory of watching Barry play was holding your breath when they gave him the ball and the sheer anticipation of what he was going to do.. Name one other player in the game that made fans do that..
Thanks for honoring the GOAT. Mr. Sanders only had mediocre offensive lines and had to earn every inch with pure skill. There will never be another like him. I was @ Detroit/Dallas playoff game in '92, incredible display by Mr. Sanders. Detroit won 38-6. I never faulted Sanders for retiring ... his passion for the game was gone. Godspeed Mr. Sanders.

Barry quit ball in his prime and only needed 1 more season to beat Walter Payton. I am sorry, but Barry Sanders was a better running back than Walter Peyton, and is the best and most impressive running back to ever play the game. He was the only player to ever get such a lousy football squad hope and brought SOOO many people to the game of football. There were just things Barry did on the field that no one else could ever do and probably will never do. Sometimes you have to look past numbers and just look at the skill and and what he brought to the table. He single-handedly made the Lions relevant and brought them to the Playoffs multiple years with GARBAGE Offenses and O-Lines.. Walter had the benefit of playing for some awesome Bears Offenses. Take nothing away from Payton, but Barry was just the more entertaining player to watch and his skillset was just unmatched.
Lakerdude9 Its all opinion man, and yes I know who Eric Dickerson is. I just feel Barry was the most talented and athletic Running back of all time. The guy was the most entertaining back to every play the game and the cuts, jukes, and spins he did were just amazing.
I watched that game when the Steelers played the Lions. Barry Sanders caught a swing pass out of the backfield. Rod Woodson attempted to make a tackle and Barry Sanders put a juke on Woodson so nasty that he blew his ACL & MCL out and his SEASON.....yes SEASON was over!!! Woodson never laid a finger on him....Barry being such a humble guy actually felt bad that Woodson was injured.....I've never seen anything like that since and probably won't ever again. He's the G.O.A.T. Soooooooo many memories as a kid watching him run.
The people that say Barry isn't the greatest running back in NFL history never saw him play... AP was a good running back and so was Sweetness but neither were as good as Barry. You can't even argue it. Yeah AP got injured and came back and had a FANTASTIC year but that doesn't make him better than Barry. That just says that he had a good recovery. There is nothing anyone could say that would make Barry not the best in my opinion.
eklipse Bo is nowhere near the best running back... Barry Sanders, is arguably the best there is after Walter payton. But Bo could of been as good OJ simpson, and that's about it. Bo was strong in the seasons he played but a prolonged career would of made him more talented. There are plenty of running backs better than Bo: Earl Campbell, Jerome Bettis, OJ Simpson, Marcus Allen,Eric Dickerson, Marshall Faulk, Emmitt Smith, LaDainian Tomlinson, Barry Sanders, Walter Payton, Jim brown, etc.
eklipse ikr Bo had potential... He was an electric running back and his speed was the thing that injured him. I would've wanted to see Bo Jackson turn into a Hall Of Fame player. But his career could of been something more than 16 td's within 4 seasons.
@@eklipse2976 People who say Bo are clueless twits. Bo had a total of 2782 yards & only 16 TD's in his 4 year career. Never reached 1000 yards. Ave of only 10 receptions per year & only 150 yards a year receiving. Retired at 28 years old. Yes injury made him retire but that is part of the game. Kirk Gibson could have been one of the best WR's ever but chose baseball. He ran a 4.28 40 was 6'3" tall & weighed 230 lbs back in 1978. He was gonna be a 1st over all pick they said. But guess what you cannot mention him all time great WR because of what could have been. Bo does not even make top 25 all time great RB. Yes durability is part of it.
What a great role model this man was. Did nothing but play the game for the love of the game. Greatest of all time! Glad to of got to watch your career Mr. Sanders
"Now you see me" Lol Barry's the man. His humble attitude really just made him look even better. The comment about ball-bearings in his ankles is the best way to describe him. He's a super-human, and nobody has ever been able to think, react, and cut like Barry could. The "Ali" of football. It's almost as if these once-in-a-generation athletes can slow down time around them.
He would have been the GOAT if he had not retired so soon. Maybe the same with Calvin Johnson. Gotta feel for the Lions organization. Their great players end up retiring early
Says a lot about a franchise that has killed the desire to play football, a game these guys were insanely passionate and competitive about, with not one but TWO once in a lifetime talents. We are talking about top 3 all time best players at their position. And the Lions destroyed their desire to take the field. Unreal.
Johnnie Doe Megatron hadn't practiced in like 3 years. His ankles are torn to shit. Couldn't run very fast. If you saw him play last season, he just gave up when a defender got to him. Didn't even try to break the tackle. He'd jut kinda jump into the defender and fall. As for Barry, yeah. He played during a rough time. Didn't like the direction the GM was going, so he retired right before training camp. You can blame that on the Lions organization. But you can't blame Megatron on them. And you can't blame their other greats on the organization either. It's literally 2 people that ended their careers early, and one of them was because of the GM.
*Thanks to the Lions organization for not giving there GOAT players any real help Barry Sanders & Megatron both left the game early because the organization doesn't want to spend real money and take risk to acquire big name help*
The G.O.A.T and by a long ways and I am from Dallas . Hell even Emmitt has said that Barry is the greatest and that Barry would hold the record if he did not retire. No one that has ever played football has even come close to the skill level Barry Sanders had. I have never seen anyone in ANY sport be that much better than everyone else.
Lions had two pro-bowl OL's in the Barry Sanders era. Lomas Brown and Kevin Glover were credited for Sanders early success Aswell as Jerry Ball all-star one year. Let's not over do it with the "No o-line at all" ..wasnt like he was Earl Campbell on the Saints or Blair Thomas with the Jets..thise were border line ASSAULTS...and I agree on Dan Marino.
@@waylonjones4365 Well, it is a highlight tape. They don't show you the negative yards or the fumbles. The terrible playoff performances or the lack of versatility when he's not running the football.
The only thing that sucks about this is that he played for the Lions. Imagine if Green Bay did not screw up by picking a dud instead of Barry how even more incredible he's career would have been, never seen anyone else like him since, it was magic.
xMusicx It's crazy how the Lions have had the best running back ever, one of the best wide receivers, and some of the best kickers ever, yet still haven't created success. Here's hoping they do eventually.
You mean Cliff Clavin? Yeah, as a mailman, I'm sure he could deliver, but downing beers at Cheers (or any bar, for that matter) wouldn't have helped Barry in the least ;-P
Kevlar Voice i originally thought you were trying to combine their names then i realized there is not a single letter from barrys name in there, you were just making fun of hin for spelling calvin wrong lol
Had the pleasure of seeing him in person a few times in my youth. The most electric RB in history of the game, and easily arguable the best RB ever. A Barry run of 3 yards could be an awesome display of athletics that many RBs could only pull off once a year. Seriously slippery!
How did the Lions not win something? They had Herman Moore and Brett Perriman and the greatest running back of all time and they lose to the Friggin Eagles in 96.. WTF
Jeffrey Silverman they had one of the worst O-Lines in history. Only increases Barry's GOATness. Also, Scott Mitchell was their best QB that decade...Lions for like 20 years sucked at drafting QBs
The line wasn't garbage and in 1994 Scott Mitchel was the best QB apart from Steve Young. Herman Moore has multiple 1,000 yard season and soe does Brett Perriman. They also had Johnny Morton to replace Brett in that duo. Their line had Lomas Brown and Kevin Glover, how was it one of the worst in history. IF you want to know why the Lions lost just look at Barry's post season production compared to his regular season production. In 1994 week 14 vs. the Packers Barry had about 200 yards rushing, then vs. the same teams in the playoffs less than a month later he had -4. Barry is the Peyton Manning of RBs, great regular season,but chokes hard in the playoffs.
The year before in the playoffs Barry had 169 yards against the Packers. If the other teams didn't completely commit to shutting Barry down, he would rip them apart and their season would be over.
+TheMatriX no I've been 're doing the oldest videos because the quality of work has increased dramatically from now having logged so much experience doing these. So yes I did a Barry video, and a lot of that footage is seen in this ons but this is a different edit of Barry.
smith had a great o line, and a great troy aikman to help take the pressure off the run when they hand it off. barry retired 10 years, horrible line and everyone focused on him cuz the passing game was mediocre. plus it was stats vs plain fascinating skill and taleng
The best running back ever. He didn't even have a good offensive line and STILL did what he did. You can even see in this video that there are times there is no where he can go but still goes for TD!
I have been a Seahawks fan since Barry was playing and in my mind I believe that Barry is the GOAT! He was pretty much the whole Lions team back then. My brother was a big Barry fan so I watched the games with him and it seemed like Barry was the only person the defenses had to worry about. I played RB in Highschool and I'm sure I wasn't the only one who wanted to be like Barry Sanders when I grew up. I was a Seahawks fan! Go Hawks!
When talking about different aspects of running backs (durability, finesse, etc.), certain RB names enter the conversation about who was the greatest. But, Barry was good everywhere. He was the best overall running back to ever play in the NFL.
The man walked away on HIS terms. With class and humility. Nobody. Nobody ran the ball like this man. Speed, agility, balance, power, and humility! If you want to know how good he really was, watch his "A Football Life." Didn't even play running back until his senior year of high school. 1 year as a college running back. And wait until you hear what Barry Switzer has to say about him as OK played OK State and Sanders was sitting behind Thurman Thomas at OK St. Best running back in NFL history. No doubt about it.
That non-tackle by the Bills at 1:47 is one of the most insane displays of strength, balance, agility, and sheer will power I have ever seen. Love it. Barry was the best.
NJ2PA Agreed
Yup!
This is THE run that made me a lifelong Barry fan…I believe it ended up being for no gain, but it may be the best/most entertaining run for no gain in NFL history
Undoubtably the greatest RB in NFL history in my mind. So elusive, fast, explosive. One of the all time greats.
Not to mention he had a horrible line his whole career.
when its all said in done Adrian Peterson will be the best, Long with all the rushing records
Along*
Mel Man Idk, he's no doubt in the top few but if you go back and look at some tape of Barry. he will blow your mind.
Mel Man Peterson doing it in this era is super impressive though.

Barry could dunk a basketball from a flat footed stance under the hoop. The dude didn't even crack 5'8".
Matt Pawlowski i believe you so much if calvin was there too no team would ever beat them the best in the world barry sander is amazing and he deserved a superbowl ring
That's exactly what i said
The greatest RB to play the game. The dude had vision and moves that even video games won't let you do.
See I am a stout Walter Payton guy, but when you have 1,000+ yards every single year in the nfl, you are the best.
facts rushed for 1000 plus every since he stepped foot on the nfl field
1,100 + every season
Add to that he was the best running back in college ever.
This guy was a generational sporting freak.
Gavin Scott Herschel was a better college back
Better in what way?
The greatest running back to every play the game! He had class as well, was humble, never took anything for granted and always credited his team and coaches! Emmett Smith will always be second fiddle to Sanders
God bless Barry Sanders. Thanks God for Barry's talent and showtime. What a marvel.
Barry Sanders The GOAT. Hands Down. Period. End of Conversation.
He was like watching a painter paint a masterpiece with each run. Greatest player I’ve ever seen.

Greatest running back ever. People forget how he had great open field straight line speed.
Greatest running back ever and frankly possibly GOAT. He did it all on a team that the defenses could almost always center on him.
It's hard to pick who is the greatest RB of all time but I would give it to 3 people: Barry Sanders, Jim Brown and Walter Payton. Thing about Sanders is that he was always very humble and continues to be that way, no matter how awesome a TD he would score he would simply just hand the ball to the ref.

I personally would put Adrian Peterson 4th.
The best RB I have ever had the privilege to watch. Imagine if he ran behind a line like Emmitt Smith. How many rings would he have? He would be the number one rusher in NFL history by far
Best RB ever to play

Barry Sanders IS the greatest RB of all time. From a GB fan.
NFC North has the three Goat RBs; Barry, Payton and AP
And the packers had Ahman Green lol. Not close to being the goat but close enough lmao
Packers got Favre and Rodgers back to back. I'd say they are comfortable not having an all time great RB haha
It's also a different playstyle of football; we can agree the league was more physical but less talented!!
ryan knight They are not in the NFC North.
Zack Klabunde He's saying Jim Brown should be in the list; I'm sure he knows they are AFC lol.

Bo was strong in the seasons he played but a prolonged career would of made him more talented. There are plenty of running backs better than Bo: Earl Campbell, Jerome Bettis, OJ Simpson, Marcus Allen,Eric Dickerson, Marshall Faulk, Emmitt Smith, LaDainian Tomlinson, Barry Sanders, Walter Payton, Jim brown, etc.
Ezeleus yeah I agree... too bad Bo cut his career short :(
eklipse ikr Bo had potential... He was an electric running back and his speed was the thing that injured him. I would've wanted to see Bo Jackson turn into a Hall Of Fame player. But his career could of been something more than 16 td's within 4 seasons.
@@eklipse2976 People who say Bo are clueless twits. Bo had a total of 2782 yards & only 16 TD's in his 4 year career. Never reached 1000 yards. Ave of only 10 receptions per year & only 150 yards a year receiving. Retired at 28 years old. Yes injury made him retire but that is part of the game. Kirk Gibson could have been one of the best WR's ever but chose baseball. He ran a 4.28 40 was 6'3" tall & weighed 230 lbs back in 1978. He was gonna be a 1st over all pick they said. But guess what you cannot mention him all time great WR because of what could have been. Bo does not even make top 25 all time great RB. Yes durability is part of it.
2:31 that Sync is so SICK
Barry Sanders was the second athlete I ever watched that was inevitable. A dude in Chicago was the first.
What a great role model this man was. Did nothing but play the game for the love of the game. Greatest of all time! Glad to of got to watch your career Mr. Sanders
I don't know if I've ever seen anyone with his stop and burst or his houdini explosive sidestep.
"Now you see me" Lol
Barry's the man. His humble attitude really just made him look even better. The comment about ball-bearings in his ankles is the best way to describe him. He's a super-human, and nobody has ever been able to think, react, and cut like Barry could. The "Ali" of football. It's almost as if these once-in-a-generation athletes can slow down time around them.
Anyone else notice at 2:23 it says baryr
Baryr the world's greatest NFL player ever. Can play all positions, once in a lifetime player.
Not if you're drunk... It's says Barry if you're drunk...
People always point that out in Barry Sanders video, but they probably tried to imply "Barry+Satyr=Barryr"...just saying lol.
Yep
Joey Tellez they were already drukn....lol
Nine Years as not A Running Back, BUT THE BEST is more than most AND a joy to watch!
He would have been the GOAT if he had not retired so soon. Maybe the same with Calvin Johnson. Gotta feel for the Lions organization. Their great players end up retiring early
That's mostly because they've had to carry a whole team for their whole careers....
Says a lot about a franchise that has killed the desire to play football, a game these guys were insanely passionate and competitive about, with not one but TWO once in a lifetime talents. We are talking about top 3 all time best players at their position. And the Lions destroyed their desire to take the field. Unreal.
would have he is the goat like it or not
K1ngFiasco shut the fuck up. You don't know what you're talking about
Johnnie Doe Megatron hadn't practiced in like 3 years. His ankles are torn to shit. Couldn't run very fast. If you saw him play last season, he just gave up when a defender got to him. Didn't even try to break the tackle. He'd jut kinda jump into the defender and fall. As for Barry, yeah. He played during a rough time. Didn't like the direction the GM was going, so he retired right before training camp. You can blame that on the Lions organization. But you can't blame Megatron on them. And you can't blame their other greats on the organization either. It's literally 2 people that ended their careers early, and one of them was because of the GM.
Living in Detroit watching Barry sanders was just outstanding words can't explain how great he was
*Thanks to the Lions organization for not giving there GOAT players any real help Barry Sanders & Megatron both left the game early because the organization doesn't want to spend real money and take risk to acquire big name help*
If you wanna watch goat players get help to get where they are right now go watch the Patriots game aight
Oh man, the way he weaves in through everybody is amazing! Can't believe I haven't heard of this guy until now.
Geez.. those cuts and acceleration 😱
made thanksgiving the best family dinner. watching the berry!
5 days is the longest time when you anticipate Joseph's videos 😭
+Braxton Bradshaw lol, been on vacation for the week, just got back to work today
Haha you're good bro! keep up the awesome work.
The G.O.A.T and by a long ways and I am from Dallas . Hell even Emmitt has said that Barry is the greatest and that Barry would hold the record if he did not retire. No one that has ever played football has even come close to the skill level Barry Sanders had. I have never seen anyone in ANY sport be that much better than everyone else.
Dan Marino best Passer ever shit team........Barry sanders best runner ever shit team .......look at these plays he had no holes to run through
I see holes, I just don't see the runner run throught them.
Ahh, Samuel Robert isn't a sports fan, he's a troll. (just ignore him)
@NolanEP84 he didnt win it
Lions had two pro-bowl OL's in the Barry Sanders era. Lomas Brown and Kevin Glover were credited for Sanders early success
Aswell as Jerry Ball all-star one year. Let's not over do it with the "No o-line at all" ..wasnt like he was Earl Campbell on the Saints or Blair Thomas with the Jets..thise were border line ASSAULTS...and I agree on Dan Marino.
@@waylonjones4365 Well, it is a highlight tape. They don't show you the negative yards or the fumbles. The terrible playoff performances or the lack of versatility when he's not running the football.
Barry Sanders is the goat at HB no dought
The only thing that sucks about this is that he played for the Lions. Imagine if Green Bay did not screw up by picking a dud instead of Barry how even more incredible he's career would have been, never seen anyone else like him since, it was magic.
xMusicx It's crazy how the Lions have had the best running back ever, one of the best wide receivers, and some of the best kickers ever, yet still haven't created success. Here's hoping they do eventually.
nope, nope lol Im a Lions fan..and had the Packers drafted him, I wouldnt of had all the great memories I had, so thank you Packers lol
Couldn't have imagined Sanders playing for any other team. The Lions, it was fitting he was like a Lion tearing through defenses.
He wasn't human the GOAT without a doubt
2:22 the fans can't even spell his name right 😂😂
Greatest running back .
can u imagine clavin and barry together
You mean Cliff Clavin? Yeah, as a mailman, I'm sure he could deliver, but downing beers at Cheers (or any bar, for that matter) wouldn't have helped Barry in the least ;-P
Kevlar Voice i originally thought you were trying to combine their names then i realized there is not a single letter from barrys name in there, you were just making fun of hin for spelling calvin wrong lol
clavin and baryr together
@@kevlarvoice3467 lol
what a stud, i loved the entertainment he gave.. even tho i was not a lions fan i was his.. and always tune in to just to watch him.
Do a greatest super bowl moments vid
Had the pleasure of seeing him in person a few times in my youth. The most electric RB in history of the game, and easily arguable the best RB ever. A Barry run of 3 yards could be an awesome display of athletics that many RBs could only pull off once a year. Seriously slippery!
How did the Lions not win something? They had Herman Moore and Brett Perriman and the greatest running back of all time and they lose to the Friggin Eagles in 96.. WTF
Jeffrey Silverman they had one of the worst O-Lines in history. Only increases Barry's GOATness. Also, Scott Mitchell was their best QB that decade...Lions for like 20 years sucked at drafting QBs
Jeffrey Silverman Barry was the only good one he probably could have one it offensively by himself his o line was garbage
The line wasn't garbage and in 1994 Scott Mitchel was the best QB apart from Steve Young. Herman Moore has multiple 1,000 yard season and soe does Brett Perriman. They also had Johnny Morton to replace Brett in that duo. Their line had Lomas Brown and Kevin Glover, how was it one of the worst in history.
IF you want to know why the Lions lost just look at Barry's post season production compared to his regular season production. In 1994 week 14 vs. the Packers Barry had about 200 yards rushing, then vs. the same teams in the playoffs less than a month later he had -4. Barry is the Peyton Manning of RBs, great regular season,but chokes hard in the playoffs.
The year before in the playoffs Barry had 169 yards against the Packers. If the other teams didn't completely commit to shutting Barry down, he would rip them apart and their season would be over.
As far as I remember they didn't run Barry near enough in that game.
Best show in NFL like the guy said it.
Does anyone else realize the shirtless guys spelled Barry like baryr
Barry Sanders is on my HALL OF FAME for one of the BEST that played the game of football!¡
Is this a repost
+TheMatriX no I've been 're doing the oldest videos because the quality of work has increased dramatically from now having logged so much experience doing these. So yes I did a Barry video, and a lot of that footage is seen in this ons but this is a different edit of Barry.
TheMatriX z
Joseph Vincent do big papi
Barry is pound for pound the best running back ever
smith had a great o line, and a great troy aikman to help take the pressure off the run when they hand it off. barry retired 10 years, horrible line and everyone focused on him cuz the passing game was mediocre. plus it was stats vs plain fascinating skill and taleng
Hands down greatest rb ever.....he has to be...cant deny it
better than Walter Payton
The best running back ever. He didn't even have a good offensive line and STILL did what he did. You can even see in this video that there are times there is no where he can go but still goes for TD!
Kids at my school say he is overrated. That's not true
I have been a Seahawks fan since Barry was playing and in my mind I believe that Barry is the GOAT! He was pretty much the whole Lions team back then. My brother was a big Barry fan so I watched the games with him and it seemed like Barry was the only person the defenses had to worry about. I played RB in Highschool and I'm sure I wasn't the only one who wanted to be like Barry Sanders when I grew up. I was a Seahawks fan! Go Hawks!
Do Kurt Warner plllllleeeeeeaaassseeee
i believe he has a video old video of him
One of God's greatest gifts to mankind: Barry Sanders. Thank you, Lord!
friend told me ap Ennis and Walter were better.... I smacked him
emmit not Ennis
He wasn't wrong...go say sorry
@@samuelrobert4083 nah
When talking about different aspects of running backs (durability, finesse, etc.), certain RB names enter the conversation about who was the greatest. But, Barry was good everywhere. He was the best overall running back to ever play in the NFL.
Out of all the tremendously spectacular athletes that have graced the football field over the years this is the man i wish i could've seen in person
Barry was phenomenal, right next with his mentor, Gale S. What a joy to watch.
God damn. The moves he put on the cowboys with that run. Unbelievable talent.
To me the greatest ever. EVER!
The man walked away on HIS terms. With class and humility. Nobody. Nobody ran the ball like this man. Speed, agility, balance, power, and humility! If you want to know how good he really was, watch his "A Football Life." Didn't even play running back until his senior year of high school. 1 year as a college running back. And wait until you hear what Barry Switzer has to say about him as OK played OK State and Sanders was sitting behind Thurman Thomas at OK St. Best running back in NFL history. No doubt about it.
So humble. No celebration
Who do we appreciate
BARYR BARYR, BARYRRRRR!
Barry Sanders made a 4 yard loss a masterpiece. That's special.
