Barry is such a humble guy. He was a beast tho!

Thurman Thomas the most underrated Hall of fame back of the 90s.

It's sort of wierd that Thurman has sort of forgotten. So much of the focus of that era in the NFL is on Barry and Emmitt. Thurman was one the most versatile backs in the history of the NFL.

"Don't hurt Thomas. You DO NOT want to play against that Barry Sanders."

I feel Thurman gets a bad rap from the SB losses losing his helmet and all. This guy was an all time great. An all purpose back who would thrive even more today cause of the natural of game which values all purpose backs a lot more. I mean he won MVP of the whole league in 91. Great player.

I'm a bill's die hard fan since 89 and consider Thomas to be a great running back but Barry was just on another level of greatness

Thomas set the template today for the “all purpose” back. He could do it ALL! Highly under rated because of the SB losses. Barry is well, the goat!

I rock my #21 orange Oklahoma state jersey about once a year. Barry’s always been one of my favorite athletes in any sport. And these are both good men, too. 👍🏼

I was born in 1978. Been an NFL fan since 1984. There are very few players I would have paid to see in person. Reggie White. Lawrence Taylor. Peyton Manning. And Barry Sanders.

Even though I only watch Barry Highlights & never witnessed him Live he’s always been My Fave RB of All Time

Barry and Thurman. Two of the greatest in a list of NFL running backs.

...two absolute legends.

*I LOVE 90s NFL*

Barry Sanders still throwing shade at Detroit.

Their two opposite personalities remind of how Kareem Hunt and Nick Chubb are 😂

Two Legend Barry Sanders the best running back and Thurman Thomas the most complete running back to ever play the game he can run he can block and run route like a receiver he change the game

Thurman Thomas Coolest RB of all-time

Much Respect for Thurman Thomas. My Favorite back Hands Down. Barry was Fantastic as well.

Before I realized I was a Bears fan these 2 were my favorite rbs growing up and I had absolutely no idea they were college teammates. 2 HOF rbs on the same field at the same time. I wonder how often that has happened. Great video, thx.

They're like different sides of the same coin

I have been a Bills fan since the 4SB and Thurman was my favorite Bill of all, but Sanders is SO TALENTED, and the only thing that outshines how talented he was is how humble he was.

2 of the best and 2 of my favorites. Thanks for doing this video!

I never really thought about it until seeing this interview, Thurman, and Barry playing together in college, then reaching the NFL Hall Of Fame, WOW!!!

2 Of my Favorite Running Backs.They Were very similar both went to Oklahoma N both extremely hard to tackle Thurman the worman

The fact that these two ran in the same backfield will never not blow my mind

6:39 Could you imagine referring to Barry Sanders as a "kick return wizard" today?

Barry is such a humble guy!!!!!

As a Dolphins fan Thurman Thomas still gives me nightmares. Might be in my closet right now. 😳

I don't think those 4 straight Buffalo Bills Super Bowls would have happened without Thurman Thomas.

Barry Sanders is my favorite NFL player period he had more class than college

Can’t get over how humble these guys are. And they’re among the best ever

Sanders is the greatest RB ever.

Great to see two legends reminiscing.

Thurman was a Beast Barry was an Angel .....

Two of the best that ever did it!

I love these two men...what inspiring heroes.

What an honor for Thurman to be considered in the same category as Sanders. Thurman just does not get any respect and its tragic. He carried the Bills to the super bowl.

Fun Barry Sanders fact- He is the all time leader in most rushing yards LOST by a running back with over 1,100 yards. He’s also my favorite running back of all time.

Love those two. ❤

"I don't think I ever thought it was important to block somebody" Imagine if Barry's offensive line didn't think the same way

I wonder if there's ever been a college running back teammate duo that led their colllege team in rushing in back to back years that have both gone on to enter the pro football hall of fame.

Thurman is the reason I’m a Bills fan and have been since 1988. I got to watch both these guys in Stillwater as a kid.

Can’t imagine having two future NFL hall of famers on the same offense.

Wait wasn't Mike Gundy the dude who had the "Come at me I'm a man" post press comference?

I could listen to these two men talk all day.

Thurman is tied with Smith for most TDs in playoff history with 20. These guys haven't played a playoff since the late 90s and still have most ever.

Barry really roasting his old qbs

You can tell their both Ginuwine friends by seeing Barry so talkative and smiling the whole time.

If either of these guys had the opportunity to step into the situation Emmitt Smith lucked into on that Cowboys team… They both would’ve destroyed the numbers that Emmitt put up.

It’s so great, even Emmitt knows who the best really was. Thank you for all the memories Barry. I always loved when you played TB twice a year. More times than not you’d break one off against them.🏃🏿💨

As a dolfan growing up Buffalo destroyed Miami during the 90's. Thurman Thomas was the best all purpose running back during the 1990's🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Crazy that two of the best ever were on the same college team Thomas was one of the original receiving backs right after roger Craig

That is so wild that Thurman Thomas was a 2nd Pick. The NY Jets front office has to hear that statement and just go...............

I was 14 and remember the cameras at Thurman's house and watching him fall to 40. Sweet redemption.

How do none of these comments so far mention "hot nuts"? lol

My kinfolk 💯💯💯 Thurman Thomas... Thomas gang

Thurman AND Barry back to back? Oklahoma State had some years.

"When God created Barry Sanders, even he didn't know what he made" Greatest quote in NFL history.

Barry da best ever

The Big 12 ( Big 8 /SW conference) will forever be the GOAT Running back factory. Earl Campbell, Billy Simms, Thurman Thomas, Barry Sanders, Ricky Williams, Priest Holmes, Jamal Charles, Adrian Peterson, Demarco Murray, it will be interesting to see what Bijan Robinson will bring.

Thurman was an unbelievable talent ...its unfair the fact he did everything so well detracts from his legacy...if he just ran the ball he would be mentioned with the elite backs

The thought of getting one HOF at your college must be a buzz. But to get back to back RBs, wow!

Barry is so humble

I was at Stillwater in 1984 to 88 and saw them played as a team. Thurman was great but I had a feeling that Barry was going to be better.

They were both so fun to watch. I'm a Bills fan, so there is bias, but for Thurman not mentioned often with the best running backs of all time is a crime. There shouldn't be a question that Thurman is one of the best ever, like it is with Barry. Thurman led the league in scrimmage yards for 4 straight seasons, and he would have had so many more touchdowns if the Bills didn't take him out in goaline situations for the backup Davis because they thought it was unnecessary and to avoid him getting hurt, unlike Emmit Smith who had so many touchdowns within the 5 yard line. (Don't get me wrong Emmit was great too) I'm just saying Thurman's numbers would be padded even more if we didn't pull him.

How the hell did Thurman Thomas drop to #40 in the draft??!

My two all time faves!

Barry was a very small back and many were curious what would happen the very first time he got hit good. Boy they are still waiting 20 years after he retired.

This was so cool to see!

These two are so great .

Man, Barry is funny

Barry Sanders was a once in a lifetime talent at Running Back that I have yet to see since he retired. Before him was Walter Payton and Jim Brown. To me, Barry Sanders is the best Running Back ever and also the best Running Back to never win a Super Bowl. I mean who could with that Detroit team back in the 90’s? Scott Mitchell and Rodney Peete at Quarterback? Please?! The Lions never built around Barry Sanders like the Dolphins didn’t build around Dan Marino. That being said, Dan Marino is the best Quarterback to never win a Super Bowl. Could you imagine if they both were on the same team?! I’m a firm believer that every winning Super Bowl Quarterback great has had a good Running Back behind him. Griese/ Csonka, Bradshaw/ Harris, Montana/ Craig, Elway/ Davis. Except Tom Brady.That dude literally won championships with so many different Running Backs during his long tenure with the Patriots. Trent Dilfer is the exception to what I just said. No offense but Dilfer was not a “great” quarterback. Sorry, but that Baltimore Defense won that championship that year against the Giants.

Sorry to disappoint anyone but the greatest runningback did attend OSU and he wore the number 21. Nothing against Thurman Thomas but Barry was the greatest pure runner, hands down.

Thurman is the goat

Legends in their own time. Well done gentlemen.

To hear Barry Sanders tell what he mostly did as a kid of helping his Dad with roofing as his job was to bring the 50.lb bucket of TAR and bundles of thick roof tiles up on the ladder during SUMMER is very motivating of new ways to work out and even train. Barry had very massive legs as they were bigger than most taller guys. That type of work out of climbing a ladder with extra weight is risky but if you can find a safe way, legs should be extremely sore the next day or 2.

Best backfield ever, Barry switzer said don't hurt Thurman or else Barry is going to come in the game and he became the cowboys coach lol

Thurman Thomas is in my top 5 running backs of all times

I was born in 1989 but the best combo of my lifetime in college is either the 2001 miami backfield or arkansas with mcfadden felix jones and peyton hillis or auburn tigers in 2004 who had cadillac williams and ronnie brown who both went top 5 in the draft for the only time in history

Barry never talk this much or smile... Truman either.

And Barry Sanders is that running back everyone always seems to think would have crushed Walter Payton's record (at that time) if hadn't retired.

This is my favorite goat Barry

This was the (viewed through rose colored glasses) best era of NFL.

Thurman a mo city legend.

The thing is the second Thurman and Barry left the NFL, Oklahoma State sucked for many years after that. Look up the record of up Pat Jones who was the head coach after the 1988 season. They go from two straight 10-2 seasons in 87 to 88 to 4-7 in 89 and 90 and 0-10-1 in 1991. They were the best ever for OSU up until Les Miles came to OSU to revive the team and then Mike Gundy who was the QB's for both Thurman and Barry to continue that tradition. Too bad they couldn't beat Oklahoma or Nebraska who were ALWAYS the top dogs in the Big 8.

What is the piano breakdown at 8:08 ??? Please I’ve been wondering for YEARS!

barry is a god

WOW.

Even this Sooner fan has to give it up to these two Cowboys Also...nice cameo by Ed Murray of News 9 there at the 6:39 mark

#34 is the best RB of all time, and ill fight you fools about it!

As a fan of the Lions, I can't believe we wasted his generational talent. I hope we don't make that same mistake again with a certain different offensive position.

Do a Bo Jackson and Deion Sanders show pleasey!

Why is Barry being humble when he was the far better player?

This is so fake everyone knows Barry Sanders never smiles

Dang bro one dislike in two hours

Barry and Thurman...Like Button

I love barry man hes the greatest of all time

Go thurman and bills

Sanders’ stats wipe Thomas out of the conversation, but if anyone asked me who the best running back to come out of Oklahoma was, I’d tell them it was Marcus Dupree.

If god himself wanted to build a football team, His first pick would be Sanders! 💪👍
