Emmitt Smith talked about that play to NFL Films after he retired, and I'll never forget his words: "Hey Tony (Casillas, #75), he's already five yards downfield behind you!"
@4browsing Walter Payton is the greatest to ever do it! He is the most complete RB & over all Football Player's ever in the NFL! I also put Marcus Allen as second. These two did it all. There was nothing that they couldn't do. Barry Sanders was a one trick pony. Great East/West runner with amazing moves but was at best a mediocre pass catcher & a horrific blocker. Forget throwing the ball & how can Sanders be the best RB of all time when he was taken out of Goal line half the time?! Another thing is he danced around so much that he put his team in horrible situations as a result of losing yardage on a consistent basis. You know the Homerun King is also the Strike Out King too right!? And don't give me the, he had a bad offensive line when that's simply not true. In fact his spread offense gave him so many great opportunities to get break away runs.
I can't say anything negative about Barry...with that great supporting cast of players.. That Heisman winning QB. and wide receivers... And they where who...???...lol
Barry is the most talented ball carrier in football history. His elusiveness can’t be described, he makes elite defenders look like they’ve never played football.
He was amazing, it is upsetting the Lions never tried to built a team around him, same.thing happened to Marino in Miami. Both franchises just put all their eggs into one basket, literally.
was it the one with the cowboys where one was standing still not knowing where the hell barry was? my personal favorite run was by Michael Vick against the Vikings overtime and two Vikings ran into each other. THAT was my most FAVORITE run.
There was a run where Barry juked Pittsburgh Hall of Fame CB Rod Woodson into an ACL blowout. Made him injury prone and effectively ended his CB career. Woodson made a career comeback back as a safety with the Ravens.
@Leo K ah now i understand. He may have had the potential for that it's certainly within the realm of possibility. And just imagine him on the track, a bunch of 5'8 160 lbs lean sprinters. And then 6'1 215 lb Bo right next to them would've been hilarious
That barry sanders versus cowboys is something mystical. He actually had 5 dudes looking for him thinking they had him on the ground only to realise he gone they were in their own man
The amount of power and speed in his body to be able to pick up crazy speed after a juke or hit/grab is outrageous. He was somehow light on his feet and strong as an ox.
There’s certain athletes that just stand out when you watch footage. Barry Sanders moves different. It’s like seeing Jordan highlights or Lionel Messi in their professions. Or like seeing Jimi on the guitar how they are so fluid and natural but it only came with years and years of practice and studying.
Barry was special. He could change direction without losing a bit of speed. LT and Peterson were power runners who were simply stonger than backers. Emmit was behind the best line ever.
@@briannelson6830 Disagree. You don't average 5 YPC and 100 yards per game running "usually backwards for 2-5 yard losses". Yes, Barry lost yardage during his career, 1,114 yards in 153 games, which is about 7.3 yards lost per game. Considering he averaged 100 yards per game in his career, I'd say there was a lot more going forward than backwards. Consider the fact that for the vast majority of his career he was running without a fullback or tight end in front of him and facing 9 men in the box, it's pretty damn easy to see why he lost some yardage. He was hit in the backfield as soon as he took the handoff on a number of occasions. The thing is, on many of those occasions he did what no other running back could do, he somehow miraculously escaped a significant number of those situations. Those are some of his highlight reel plays. He's the GOAT.
@@evanknechtges1762 - He did have a good offensive line... he had a number of pro bowl caliber offensive linemen in his career, he was surrounded by quality receivers in his career, he played in a weakass division during his career ( yes kiddies the ole NFC North Sucked balls back then) , the fact is, he's severely overrated, and rarely came up big in PLAYOFF games and big moments ( go look up his playoff stats, -1 yards vs Green Bay lol).If you wanna be the GOAT you cant fold like an army cot come playoff time and that's exactly what Barry did. The lions took him OUT of the lineup on goal line situations because they didn't want to LOSE YARDAGE with his constant dancing in the backfield. Did he have some big runs? Sure! Was he a good back? Absolutely! Best ever? NOT EVEN CLOSE!
Agreed on those 2 for sure. And Gale Sayers and O.J. were cut down by knees; swoon at their possibilities. But Jim Brown - OMFG. He could have dominated for another 15 years, and that's AFTER already rewriting the record book - rewriting the hell out of it too. That's the one that makes the head spin.
Or if Walter Payton wasn't on a sorry team with no QB , off line , weapons at wine receiver and a bottom 10 defense his 1st 10 years he would've accumulated 20k yards if he was on the Vikings or chiefs teams the whole career !
I lived in Stillwater when Thurman Thomas and Barry Sanders played at OSU, and saw three games the year Barry won the Heisman. Had the chance to meet him briefly once, he is one of the most humble persons I've ever met.
Ya for sure. Barry and Peyton are just different animals. Derrick Henry will make a run at them but I dont think we will ever see another back like Barry. His jump cuts are ridiculous. So are Peytons. Henry will go down as having the best stiff arm tho.
Bo does unofficially have the fastest NFL combine 40 yard dash recorded at a 4.13. Bo says it as electronically timed & Haters say it was hand timed. I believe Bo, bc he was there when he ran it & the Haters weren't! Now I can tell you this fact, Bo ran a 10.39 100 meter sprint electronic. Chris Johnson ran his 100 meters at 10.38 electronic. Anything in football under 11 seconds is moving! And both men moved very fast in their day.
Nope nothing like Henry and the man was an all-star at 2 major sports I do agree if he went all in on football his career would have been special Barry Sanders too js
If Barry felt like playing longer, he probably could've had 20K yards. I'm not even exaggerating. Watching him play is one of my fondest childhood memories. Damn you Lions front office.
Im a lifelong sainta fan diehard. That game was on my birthday and i had a party for both, still the worst day of my life. Even worse my mother was a lifelong who dat and that was the last game she ever got to see 2 months before she passed away.
I feel like (someone correct me if I'm wrong) strong runs such as all the clips shown in this video are what football is all about. One man running through (with the help of his team) an entire defense saying NO, NO YOU WILL NOT STOP ME and plowing through via sheer will and God given talent This video is special. every running back (and offensive lineman of course) shown in this video is special. These are warriors. The RB is the true mans position, someone who takes punishment after punishment and just keeps moving forward with strength and perseverance and a never say die attitude THANK YOU FOR THIS GREAT VIDEO !!!
As a footballer (The other sports where you use the feet) i find this really cool and epic. Evading tackles and doing crazy runs, never had any idea that american football is this awesome!
There's also this crazy sport called Rugby Football -- lots of kicking like soccer, and lots of tackling and evading like Am. football, plus PLENTY of passing. You should like it.
Barry was amazing. When people talk about football players, you would normally say the players' last name...Barry Sanders is as far as I know the only player everybody knows who you are talking about by saying his first name only.
Jim Thorpe is the best Athlete ever ...best football player, track and field, baseball, billiards and dancer in the world in his prime...statue at the front door of Canton ...and Dion Sanders as good if not better!
Barry was a kick returner and a one cut back at Oklahoma. It wasn't until he got to Detroit where he had no O-line and needed to break to tackles before the line of scrimmage that he became shake n bake.
@Eye in Da sky Yes he did. In his third year. Thomas is older. Barry was his back up and primarily serves as the kick returner in his first two seasons. There aren't many bigger Barry fans then me. However, he was a one cut runner at Oklahoma State because he didn't need to make 5 moves behind the line of scrimmage to avoid getting stuffed.
It’s amazing how some of these guys can throw off one, two or even three tacklers, yet also be graceful and fluid in running. They have it all - strength, agility and speed.
That 90yard Bo Jackson run was nice. A streak of lighting down the sidelines and up the tunnel! Then the next run by Marcus Allen (74 yards) as soon as he saw daylight he turned on the jets. PLAYOFFS WE’RE TALKING ABOUT PLAYOFFS! That’s why I’m here getting pumped for The Playoffs. Go Cowboys!
And you think that since the merger 51 years ago, when the NFL came to be, with Lynch only being the 5th or 6th best back in the league for the majority of his best years, in a weaker running era than Any other, that the 90 or so better backs than him, plus random backs who put up dominant runs, didn't put up NINE better runs, EVER, that were videod, than all his?
I know you'll say something like "if 90 backs are better, why is he 36th all time?" since you have an unwarranted affinity for his not-so-extraordinary talent. There are so many backs like Priest Holmes and Terrell Davis, Bo Jackson, Michael Turner(playing as Tomlinson's backup for Half his career) and even Napoleon Kaufman and Deuce McAllister, who were SO much better than him, who didn't get the same longevity or carries due to injuries or splitting time with stars etc, that ranking him 90th may well be Too High! There were 14 game seasons for decades, during which time nearly all teams featured two and three backs way more than Lynch ever endured. There are dozens of backs who were better overall with their pass-catching combined. Defenses today are SO weak against the run compared to all times past, and rule changes dont even allow for the same violence, etc. So, he's around the 90th best back since 1966.... Is that something to be celebrated with the best EVER? Him BEING on this video twice, as well as Only other backs from the last half of NFL history beside Jim Brown, is Why this video is ridiculous.
Rise Of The Kumquat Al Michaels isn't much better. Check the run at 0:34. Really lame call for a run that long and that unique. In general the NFL broadcasters need to drink a few energy drinks before games or something.
"Coming up next on Fox, be sure to check out American's hit show American Idol.. That will be coming up after the game here and after this alien spacecraft that has appeared to come out of nowhere leaves the field... There is a UFO on the field. Now is as good of a time as any to remind you that today's game on FOX is brought to you by Oreo's.. America's favorite cookie."
The game was greater in person. I was 8 years old and it was my first 49ers game in attendance. Remarkable. Hell, you even got to see an unselfish Owenes block
The Guy I feel like he needed to learn to do that, because his speed isn't the best at all. But his trucking and precise footwork more than make up for it.
Patriots got caught cheating how many times lol Barry bonds asterisks even this year spygate 2.0 and they lost to the beastmode 2.0 ain't that ironic lmao
5:17 Many RBs can make guys miss. Only Barry Sanders can elude a defense so badly that they don't even know where he is. Look at Tony Casillas (#75) with his back turned to Sanders. I remember Emmitt Smith talking about that play: "Hey Tony, he's already five yards downfield behind you!"
Berry Sanders is and was and always will be the best there ever was at the running back position. There are to many other that come in at a close second.
Barry had the best juke moves but that's it. He wasn't the best overall & most complete RB in history! Walter Payton & Marcus Allen could play any skilled position on Offense & they both did. Barry couldn't block worth snot & at best he was a mediocre pass catcher. Facts are facts. But damn the man could run the rock. Credit exactly where it's due!
@@bigelile07 1984 When both McMahon and Fuller were injured. Walter had 8 td passes over the course of his career. Walter was a better all around player than Sanders. He had 1400 more receiving yards than Barry. Walter sought contact and punished linebackers and DBs. Barry avoided it. Barry was unbelievably nimble and spectacular to watch, no doubt about it. It's a shame that Sanders toiled his whole career in Detroit.
Had Barry Sanders played for the Cowboys and Emmett Smith for the Detroit Lions. Omg. If he would’ve been on that team running behind that line he would’ve put up statistics That wouldn’t even be imaginably possible to break
I think about half of all running backs that ever played would have the all-time record behind that line, no exaggeration. You're talking about two or three Hall of Famers, and the others were perennial pro bowlers for a solid 7 years of Smith's career.
The Marshawn Lynch one ... 0:33, watch how hard number 83 works during the entire play. (Just saw his name is Lockett.) He starts as the top most player at the line - right hand wide receiver position at the line up I guess, but watch how hard he works on the blocking. It's his TD as much as Lynch's.
You have LT in here not getting touched..... Chris Johnson during his 2K rushing year had a run where he trucked the mess out a Jaguar & then out ran the competition for 80 yards for a TD..... That should've at least been on the list
WutTheDeuce He got hurt. That first year with the Cardinals would've been great if he hadn't had that injury. Relevancy or not, he was a 2K yard rusher & was up there with AP in talks of best RB in the game at that time. Also, 2K speaks for itself. CJ should have been on the list.
"With an 83-yard touchdown, Johnson broke an NFL record with his fourth rushing touchdown of 80 yards or more" - Wikipedia None of those runs warranted inclusion on this list?
Wade Howlett Everybody seems to forget Smith had Aikman and Irvin and a ton of fun in the OL to help him get that title. Sanders had talent. Hot. Raw. Nasty. Unprecedented talent.
Barry Sanders has a million dominant highlights. Every time he touched the ball it was excitement. Every time. But man, that Lynch 67 yarder just might be the most dominant run of all time. Sanders is far and away the best in history. Ignore the stat sheet, but Beastmode wasn’t too shabby himself and that one run right there was absolutely earth shattering.

Barry Sanders was on an extraterrestrial level the best running back of all time
Yes I agree
He had the best juke moves of all time. He's definitely not the best overall & complete RB of all time.
@4browsing Walter Payton is the greatest to ever do it! He is the most complete RB & over all Football Player's ever in the NFL! I also put Marcus Allen as second. These two did it all. There was nothing that they couldn't do.
Barry Sanders was a one trick pony. Great East/West runner with amazing moves but was at best a mediocre pass catcher & a horrific blocker. Forget throwing the ball & how can Sanders be the best RB of all time when he was taken out of Goal line half the time?!

I can't say anything negative about Barry...with that great supporting cast of players.. That Heisman winning QB. and wide receivers... And they where who...???...lol
Barry Sanders was just unbelievable
You know Barry is the GOAT when the announcers say Emmit Smith is doing a "Barry Sanders impression" during his TD run.

@@LegendMkr7 The Lions won two division titles in the Sanders era. That team was full of pro-bowl players. On both sides of the ball.
Barry Sanders runs were insane. There was one where the entire defense looked silly.
was it the one with the cowboys where one was standing still not knowing where the hell barry was? my personal favorite run was by Michael Vick against the Vikings overtime and two Vikings ran into each other. THAT was my most FAVORITE run.
You need to be specific when it comes to the greatest. He did it alot
Saquon Barkley vs the bears? 😂
1992 vs Cowboys .. one defender was standing thinking Sanders was already down in the pile up
There was a run where Barry juked Pittsburgh Hall of Fame CB Rod Woodson into an ACL blowout. Made him injury prone and effectively ended his CB career. Woodson made a career comeback back as a safety with the Ravens.
Barry Sanders was unreal...and Bo Jackson should have ran in the Olympics!
I believe he did run track in college and his 100 and 200 meter times weren't enough to rep the US in the Olympics
Bo knows
Nicholas Sylve he could have
@Leo K Sorry I don't quite understand what you meant? 'not yet' in reference to what?

Hammy The destroyer ya I know I am💪
mbelma6329 HATERRRR
Oklahoma State had Thurman Thomas as starter and Barry Sanders as a backup. Two HOFers in the backfield.
What a back field huh? Damn!!
Barry was a kick returner and a one cut back at Oklahoma. It wasn't until he got to Detroit where he had no O-line and needed to break to tackles before the line of scrimmage that he became shake n bake.
@Eye in Da sky Yes he did. In his third year. Thomas is older. Barry was his back up and primarily serves as the kick returner in his first two seasons. There aren't many bigger Barry fans then me. However, he was a one cut runner at Oklahoma State because he didn't need to make 5 moves behind the line of scrimmage to avoid getting stuffed.
It’s amazing how some of these guys can throw off one, two or even three tacklers, yet also be graceful and fluid in running. They have it all - strength, agility and speed.
3:55 look at big 74 getting up field to block. That's effort
how is walter payton not on here more than once
That, and no John Riggins? I'm not even a skins fan but that guy trucked over people.
Wht is this the 50s?..berry sanders RUINED tht guys name
No alstott?
Hard to find footage
What? This is the official NFL TH-cam channel. They have all of the footage. They don't have to ask anybody for permission. Walter Payton forever!!!
Some of the all-time greats. As a Tampa fan though would like to see the A train Mike Alstott.
Alstott was great indeed.
A-train. What about Blount
@@danielanderson4011 Oh Blount was good, more atheletic if you ask me. But Alstott is my favorite.
@@davidkoba love Alstotr , my favorite Buc . Blount was a animal , strong at the line, stiff arm on the edge , hurdle you if you come low!!! 😈
@@danielanderson4011 Absolutely agree. Bucs running game has always been my favorite aspect (aside from our Tampa two defense).
Let's call this what it is. A barry sanders highlight reel. And some other guys who had a couple good runs. Barry is the GOAT
Needs more Sweetness.
And some more Beast Mode
Walter Payton would of done better Rest In Peace
America's Broken Levee he literally had 3 highlights in this video. Take it easy
True. But that Roger Craig run against the Rams is my favorite
Barry Sanders @ 4:10 .. oh my lord how sick was this man. I need to go see his highlights now 🤙🏼😂
That 90yard Bo Jackson run was nice. A streak of lighting down the sidelines and up the tunnel! Then the next run by Marcus Allen (74 yards) as soon as he saw daylight he turned on the jets.
PLAYOFFS WE’RE TALKING ABOUT PLAYOFFS! That’s why I’m here getting pumped for The Playoffs. Go Cowboys!
Before watching I better see Marshawn Lynch on here at least twice
Christos Belibasakis your wish will become true
And you think that since the merger 51 years ago, when the NFL came to be, with Lynch only being the 5th or 6th best back in the league for the majority of his best years, in a weaker running era than Any other, that the 90 or so better backs than him, plus random backs who put up dominant runs, didn't put up NINE better runs, EVER, that were videod, than all his?
I know you'll say something like "if 90 backs are better, why is he 36th all time?" since you have an unwarranted affinity for his not-so-extraordinary talent. There are so many backs like Priest Holmes and Terrell Davis, Bo Jackson, Michael Turner(playing as Tomlinson's backup for Half his career) and even Napoleon Kaufman and Deuce McAllister, who were SO much better than him, who didn't get the same longevity or carries due to injuries or splitting time with stars etc, that ranking him 90th may well be Too High! There were 14 game seasons for decades, during which time nearly all teams featured two and three backs way more than Lynch ever endured. There are dozens of backs who were better overall with their pass-catching combined. Defenses today are SO weak against the run compared to all times past, and rule changes dont even allow for the same violence, etc. So, he's around the 90th best back since 1966.... Is that something to be celebrated with the best EVER? Him BEING on this video twice, as well as Only other backs from the last half of NFL history beside Jim Brown, is Why this video is ridiculous.
Ryan McElmurry
Triggered much?
Lol bored. I like Lynch. I just like statistical accuracy more.
Man, aliens could land on the field in the middle of a game and Joe Buck would make it sound like the most boring thing in human history.
Rise Of The Kumquat Al Michaels isn't much better. Check the run at 0:34. Really lame call for a run that long and that unique. In general the NFL broadcasters need to drink a few energy drinks before games or something.
lmao alien...the alien...the alien...damn there's an alien...and he's gone.
Jeff T We need Gus Johnson back.
"Coming up next on Fox, be sure to check out American's hit show American Idol.. That will be coming up after the game here and after this alien spacecraft that has appeared to come out of nowhere leaves the field... There is a UFO on the field. Now is as good of a time as any to remind you that today's game on FOX is brought to you by Oreo's.. America's favorite cookie."
No where near as bad as Marc Bulger lol
The Earl Campbell TD after Jack Tatum hit him should be on this reel.
I was looking for that one myself. Irresistible force meets immovable object. What a play!
th-cam.com/video/Kz1nhPZLyHw/w-d-xo.html
Knocked him on his ass by not even running, just lowering his shoulders
Absolutely
B.Sanders & marshawn runs was Savage
I feel real sorry for Sanders and Tomlinson for not having rings. Unbelievable talent that I am so honored to have watched them play live
I would have liked to see a couple more tomlinson clips he was so fun to watch
@@rareitem_ my favorite back
@@Tarakat7 same
OJ had killer moves. His cuts were deadly and sliced up the competiton.
74 for the 98 49r's is one of the fastest lineman I've ever seen
3:52
The game was greater in person. I was 8 years old and it was my first 49ers game in attendance. Remarkable. Hell, you even got to see an unselfish Owenes block
that's a hell of a sentence
2:59 vick really made 2 players on the same team run into eachother 😭😂
that was something
I remember seeing that live
They both had the angle on him but Vick put it into another gear and they collided. Awesome.
5:15 Barry Sander literally SNAPPED #51’s ankles!
marshawn lynch cuts are so percise...
DeSean Jackson #Jaccpot #0ne0fone #1hunna yeah bro like sweet poetry
The Guy I feel like he needed to learn to do that, because his speed isn't the best at all. But his trucking and precise footwork more than make up for it.
More precise than your spelling that's for sure...
Poison_0038 for sure
smitherskro okay?
Barry and AP had some incredible rushes...
The NERO Probably the two greatest pure rushers in their primes.
No Jerome Bettis or Brandon Jacobs? They also left out a lot of other notable legends!
Gayle Sayers, maybe five more from Walter Payton? Jim Thorpe? Csonka? Edgerrin James?
@TrumpensteinLP
L
That Tomlinson run could've been taken off the list and replaced with a Bettis or Jacobs run. No one even touched Tomlinson on that run.
I was waiting for Bettis
Why are you guys just saying names? Name the particular runs that you have in mind, otherwise your argument is empty and have no proof.
I can’t believe they didn’t include Marshawn Lynch’s goal line, super bowl winning TD against the patriots.
... Oh wait
Lol.But even if they did run it it still wouldn't have made it since it isn't dominant
Lol
😂
Patriots got caught cheating how many times lol Barry bonds asterisks even this year spygate 2.0 and they lost to the beastmode 2.0 ain't that ironic lmao
Please don't bring that up...adding salt to the wound.
5:17 Many RBs can make guys miss. Only Barry Sanders can elude a defense so badly that they don't even know where he is. Look at Tony Casillas (#75) with his back turned to Sanders. I remember Emmitt Smith talking about that play: "Hey Tony, he's already five yards downfield behind you!"
ZhangtheGreat 😂😂😂😂
I chuckle every time I see that play.
The captions are so helpful. I always want to know the dates of these plays I see online.
Berry Sanders is and was and always will be the best there ever was at the running back position. There are to many other that come in at a close second.
Don Dehning he’s good. But not as good as Barry Sanders.
I don't know... Give me good ol Frank Gore !!! The guy is a bull
Barry had the best juke moves but that's it. He wasn't the best overall & most complete RB in history! Walter Payton & Marcus Allen could play any skilled position on Offense & they both did. Barry couldn't block worth snot & at best he was a mediocre pass catcher. Facts are facts. But damn the man could run the rock. Credit exactly where it's due!
@@BreuckelensFinest when did Marcus Allen and Walter Payton play quarterback?
@@bigelile07 1984 When both McMahon and Fuller were injured. Walter had 8 td passes over the course of his career. Walter was a better all around player than Sanders. He had 1400 more receiving yards than Barry. Walter sought contact and punished linebackers and DBs. Barry avoided it. Barry was unbelievably nimble and spectacular to watch, no doubt about it. It's a shame that Sanders toiled his whole career in Detroit.
Beast Quake was insane, you could literally feel the ground shake outside the stadium
Dear lord some of those Barry Sanders runs are absolutely ridiculous, jaw dropping. All of these are great though. Talent.
Peterson is a beast
Did Christian Okoye have big enough shoulder pads!??!
Garrett Kane That was a back brace
Eric B & Rakim back then nfl players wore battle armors, just looks like everyone is lineman out there
Tom Brady Shady #WOAT#CryBaby#StillCheating They have back braces I today's league as well. Tyron Smith wore one this season.
Eric B & Rakim I'm just talking in general. Those pads were massive.
Tom Brady Shady #WOAT#CryBaby#StillCheating You can see the outline of the back brace as he turns around
The way barry sanders kept so much speed in between cuts is just inhuman . imagine if he never retired so soon
I'm glad I wasn't watching football in the 80's. Barry Sanders AND Walter Payton... probably killed my Packers everytime they played
@@u2bgeye679 figure of speech dude
You had your time, the bears are back
Barry Sanders left a pile of Ppl on the field 😂🤣
Without stuff arming too
More like he made the football field a hospital for all the ankles he broke😂😂😂😂
And one guy standing straight up looking around clueless.
Sanders and Gayle - their reads and style to pivot and shift are phenomenal-in a class of their own
Barry Sanders or BEASTMODE
Conrad Travis
Barry beastmode
Conrad Travis beastmode
u cant compare a hall of famer with a rb who is questionable to even make the hall of fame
Conrad Travis Definitely Barry
Conrad Travis Barry. Lynch is great but Barry was unreal. I've never seen anyone move like him before or since.
MARSHALL FAULK WITH THAT STEPBACK OMG 😳
Right
3:49 One of my all time favorite runs. Garrison Hearst was a warrior.
Barry Sanders is the King of running backs
No, he's the GOD of running backs
Had Barry Sanders played for the Cowboys and Emmett Smith for the Detroit Lions. Omg. If he would’ve been on that team running behind that line he would’ve put up statistics That wouldn’t even be imaginably possible to break
Yeah, I always thought Barry deserved the all time rushing yards title. He probably still would've gotten it if he'd played a few more years.
I think about half of all running backs that ever played would have the all-time record behind that line, no exaggeration. You're talking about two or three Hall of Famers, and the others were perennial pro bowlers for a solid 7 years of Smith's career.
Its still the NFL players are paid millions to stop you but he is fun to watch
Fred Taylor and priest Holmes were sooo underrated
This might be the best video the NFL has put on here. Some truly great runs in there!
Barry sanders, Bo Jackson, and Walter Payton cannot be human beings. they're just too good.
Some of the all-time greats. As a Tampa fan though would like to see the A train Mike Alstott.
The Marshawn Lynch one ... 0:33, watch how hard number 83 works during the entire play. (Just saw his name is Lockett.) He starts as the top most player at the line - right hand wide receiver position at the line up I guess, but watch how hard he works on the blocking. It's his TD as much as Lynch's.
He is Ricardo Lockette, a wide receiver with the Seahawks at the time.
You have LT in here not getting touched..... Chris Johnson during his 2K rushing year had a run where he trucked the mess out a Jaguar & then out ran the competition for 80 yards for a TD.....
That should've at least been on the list
Pretty sure they kept this video on relevancy, and we know how Chris Johnson turned out.
WutTheDeuce He got hurt. That first year with the Cardinals would've been great if he hadn't had that injury. Relevancy or not, he was a 2K yard rusher & was up there with AP in talks of best RB in the game at that time.
Also, 2K speaks for itself. CJ should have been on the list.
"With an 83-yard touchdown, Johnson broke an NFL record with his fourth rushing touchdown of 80 yards or more" - Wikipedia
None of those runs warranted inclusion on this list?
Ombeni Idassi thats what i was thinking
WutTheDeuce what about blount?
Can the next season start already
Element 17 exactly I wish the NBA and NFL switch seasons
Element 17 I know right
ta da
It did stupid
Rip
This easily could’ve been a Barry Sanders highlight reel... he had dominant TD runs every week!!
Honestly, same with Adrian Peterson. They are the all-time best home-run hitters. Every game you expected them to break one.
5:25 i love those words
Daniel Chachanashvili he made grown men eat his dust every week
2:59 anyone ever notice the two Defenders that literally tackled each other?
Comedy 🤣
MY GOD... A highlight of LEGENDS!!!
lemme tell a joke
the nfl top 100 list.

Why does Joe Buck still have a job?
Robert Kane Joe Buck called the David Tyree helmet catch like it was a 3 yard dink and dunk in first quarter of preseason game between Jags and Browns
beckham . . . beckham . . . . . beckham . . . . . touchdown. joe buck when the odell got that big td against the cowgirls
he's waaaay better now
baseball
Because hes too stupid too look for a new one
Bully Ball!
Who else is yelling WHOA as they watch these?
especially the marshawn lynch and barry sanders ones
I'm yelling "Oh... OH... OHHHH"
April Babies Not yelling Woah because I did that so long ago
April Babies nahh bro nahhh
I think earl campbell was the only one i hadnt seen
Also a tribute to those blocking. I got your back, don't forget!
Especially on the Steve Young run - some of the best downfield blocking you will ever see.
Robert Cooper I’m a lineman and once our running back jammed his helmet in my back and used me as a shield to get to the end zone big tribute
I just love the endeavour of the offensive line to protect their guy! Just blocking and running and giving him every chance! So good
sanders fillet the cowboys
And Emmitt got the rushing record.
Everybody**
and barry is still better lol
Joshua Eden
Hahaha exactly... if Barry woulda played the same amount of years like Emmitt, he would’ve never passed him lol
Wade Howlett Everybody seems to forget Smith had Aikman and Irvin and a ton of fun in the OL to help him get that title.
Sanders had talent. Hot. Raw. Nasty. Unprecedented talent.
Barry Sanders is the BEST runningback on this list!!!
The guy was only 5'8......a Defenders WORST nightmare!
Barry Sanders has a million dominant highlights. Every time he touched the ball it was excitement. Every time. But man, that Lynch 67 yarder just might be the most dominant run of all time.
Sanders is far and away the best in history. Ignore the stat sheet, but Beastmode wasn’t too shabby himself and that one run right there was absolutely earth shattering.
Barry Sanders was the perfect runningback.
He got a lot of negative yard runs though. Still one of the best.
@@TylerIrelandNFL yeah, but most of his career his o-line was bad
Great video but where's Gayle Sayers?
5:35 Greatest run I've ever seen in my life! Camera angle doesn't describe how tackled he was only to emerge out of the Cowboys surrounding him!
