Every Thanskgiving, I give thanks to family & Barry. He was there for 10 straight Thanksgiving's, and he always brought something special.

I loved the way he would just hand the ball to the ref after he scored. He didn’t show off. He just glided like a slalom skier. The most humble football player ever. You can’t compare Jim Brown and Barry. No need to. They were simply the best. Period.

I grew up watching him play at the silverdome. He could juke your eyes watching from 100 yards away. Watching him in person was crazy. It's like he could go any direction at any time and get up to full speed after a cut in the blink of an eye.

Berry Sanders is my fevorita.

You can tell Barry is the kind of dude that says “darnit” and “cripes”

Barry is the consummate Professional with unrivaled Humility 🙏🏼🙏🏼

What a beautifully humble person.

His dad was thinking ahead of his time.

“Berry Sanders” lol It’s Barry.

his father should've praised his son more...tough is love is 1 thing but a hug is just as important

His love for the game and my love for him is almost (ALMOST) bigger than the watch on his hand.

Impossible not to love who he is as a person just as much as his one in a billion talent

Barry Sanders = CLASS. The world needs more men like him. I was/am not a Lions fan but he is by far my favorite NFL player of all time. Score a touchdown, act like you've been there before, hand the ball to the ref. He stuck with the Lions. I just can't say enough about this man.

He's the greatest without any doubt. Just imagine what he could have done with a good offensive line.

Legend.. simply the best.

Berry Sanders is a new DQ shake. Thanks NFL Films.

The real Greatest Runningback of all time. Barry could be the NFLs all time leading rusher but even if he did his father would still say Walter is better.

BEST RUNNING BACK EVEEEEEER 💯💯💯

Put some respect on that mans name

There will always be the NEXT this player and that player but will never be another Barry

I know all about Barry Sanders, but I was hoping for something about Berry Sanders. Disappointing.

Imagine being a once-in-a-generation talent and being drafted by the Lions...

Truly one of the greatest “what if” stories in football. What if he didn’t retire so abruptly? What if Detroit actually cared about fielding a winning team? What if he continued on his torrid pace for another few years. Barry Sanders is still to this day the most talented running back I’ve ever seen, and to know that there was still so much potential that went to waste is so upsetting

Posturing after every 1st down, the trash-talking after every tackle, and the general lack of respect from today's NFL players, they could learn a thing or two from how Barry Sanders played the game. Pure Class!

What a star .. payton / sanders the best

This title sums up the current state of the actual NFL as an organization.

His dad was cooking with a 2023 offence 😭🔥

What piss me off is all these youngsters know about Randy Moss but not Barry Sanders.Randy Moss my second favorite player of all time behind only Barry Sanders.

THE GOAT! Hands down, no exceptions! I'm a Cowboys fan so I could just say Emmitt and argue Emmitt the rest of my life! Barry would have shredded Emmitt's rushing record if he would have had a line throughout his career as Emmitt did! BARRY! GOAT! PERIOD!

BARRY THA GOAT unmatched

Ain't no way NFL FILMS spelled his name wrong

Notice how many of Barry's TDs were long runs. Emmitt may have scored more but most of his were between 1-5 yards.

Thank you Mr. Barry Sanders…

How do they spell his name wrong..

I don't want to hear this Jim Brown nonsense. Jim Brown was on teams that contended for championships almost half the time he played, never had a losing season. Sanders was on teams that had losing seasons half his tenure. Their YPC, YPG and totals TD's were very close. Just think what Sanders would have done if he were on the Cowboys or Steelers during the 90's with the offensive lines they had, multiple years over 2k no doubt.

Poetry in motion

What other runningback in history could you give the ball to on a draw and 3rd and 15 and expect a 1st down every time?

If those Lions team with Barry , Moore , Morton periam they were a QB away from a superbowl if they had Farve back then they win.

Barry's yardage an stats are like any other great what makes barry the greatest when comparing Emmitt or Payton, an 1 ppl overlook which put Emmitt an Payton higher is, they has a strong supporting cast, barry made magic with half the team the other greats had, that's why his skill an attributes make barry the greatest

Sorry papa Sanders.. If Jim Brown (or any other RB in history) was on these terrible Lions teams, they wouldn't do half of what Barry did. GOAT and it's not close.

Hands down the best running back ever.

multiple videos titled with the wrong name ? did the intern uploading these never hear of him or?

Matthew 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

Could someone tell me why the lions would take Barry out when they got to the RedZone? I didn't get that.

When u depend on 1 player to shoulder the load Herman Moore was your next best player.

He deserves a ring

As great as Barry Sanders was, except for the Dallas game and in the 1993 wildcard game, Barry Sanders was shut down the rest of the game in the playoffs.. The sad thing is if the Lions made it further in the playoffs Barry probably plays another 2 to 3 years. He breaks Walter's record and Emmitt Smith has a tougher time catching up to the all time record. Barry, Calvin Johnson, the Hall of Famers retiring because the Lions couldn't get it done. Only Matt Stafford broke the Lions curse and won a Super Bowl before injury took him away this season. Just be happy that we got to see a top 5 back of all time. Barry was one of the kind and you will not see someone like him ever again.

Berry?

Barry Sanders is the only reason I started watching football, and he never disappointed me. Every game was exciting when Barry Sanders was playing. Watching all the players that started taking knees during the national anthem is why I stopped watching football. And I don't miss it a bit.

Nfl films really used a picture of emmit smith

It's a shame the father did not appreciate how much Barry had accomplished. Barry was pure class.

3:23 - This is why you should not use the argument of "if Barry played with a more talented team in Dallas, he would of been even greater". Also, question I have to ask. Did Barry break out after the first two games in 1997 because they abandoned the two back offense, or the team finally adapted to the new scheme?

The defenses were so terrible, none of those losses were his fault.

I guess the Gen Z NFL Films intern posting this has no clue that it's "Barry". NFL Films, this is embarrassing.

That fullback in front of Barry is no good

E Smith was better.. All time leading rusher... 💍 💍 💍
