Undoubtably the greatest RB in NFL history in my mind. So elusive, fast, explosive. One of the all time greats.

"Like trying to catch a cricket with your bare hands." Perfect.

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.

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.

Proves you don't need a Super bowl to be a GOAT

I’m glad we finally got a video that recognized the best back of all times, “Baryr Sanders”.

Greatest. Running Back. Ever.

Feel blessed to have been alive to see this man play. GOAT

I feel very fortunate that I saw this man play during his time in the NFL. Totally dominant. Thanks for the great memories Barry

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.

The greatest running back of all time, period.

Barry Sanders was a thrill to watch growing up in the 90's. He's easily one of the best backs to play the game.

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.

The Greatest Running Back Of All Time!

The best of all times! PERIOD

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.

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

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.

amazing. His elusiveness was out of this world!

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.

God bless Barry Sanders. Thanks God for Barry's talent and showtime. What a marvel.

The greatest RB to play the game. The dude had vision and moves that even video games won't let you do.

Awesome. I can watch Sanders run all day; truly incredible.

ball bearings in his ankles

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.

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.

The Reason the spin exists in madden

Absolute Legend!!! Arguably the best Running back the NFL has ever seen

3:49 Legend has it that #75, Tony Casillas, spent the next 11 years trying to find Barry Sanders.

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

The Greatest Football player I've Ever seen with my own eyes.

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.

Barry Sanders was by far the best and most exciting running back of all time

1st Jersey I ever got...also the reason I couldn't wait for Thanksgiving football as a kid. Loved Barry...GOAT!

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..

Barry Sanders was the second athlete I ever watched that was inevitable. A dude in Chicago was the first.

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!

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.

Best RB ever to play

NFC North has the three Goat RBs; Barry, Payton and AP

Barry Sanders IS the greatest RB of all time. From a GB fan.

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.

Undoubtedly the greatest running back of all time ❤️

This man better than beast mode I'm surprised

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.

2:31 that Sync is so SICK

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.

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.

One of God's greatest gifts to mankind: Barry Sanders. Thank you, Lord!

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.

and people comparing Ezekiel Elliot to him... F outta here.

Greatest of all time... only guy to make loss of yards look so good...

Living in Detroit watching Barry sanders was just outstanding words can't explain how great he was

5 days is the longest time when you anticipate Joseph's videos 😭

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

Nine Years as not A Running Back, BUT THE BEST is more than most AND a joy to watch!

Best running back of all time

Anyone else notice at 2:23 it says baryr

*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*

made thanksgiving the best family dinner. watching the berry!

Geez.. those cuts and acceleration 😱

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

Barry Sanders is on my HALL OF FAME for one of the BEST that played the game of football!¡

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.

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.

2:22 the fans can't even spell his name right 😂😂

Barry Sanders is the goat at HB no dought

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.

can u imagine clavin and barry together

Do a greatest super bowl moments vid

Barry is pound for pound the best running back ever

"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.

Does anyone else realize the shirtless guys spelled Barry like baryr

Do Kurt Warner plllllleeeeeeaaassseeee

Best show in NFL like the guy said it.

Greatest running back .

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

better than Walter Payton

God damn. The moves he put on the cowboys with that run. Unbelievable talent.

Oh man, the way he weaves in through everybody is amazing! Can't believe I haven't heard of this guy until now.

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

Is this a repost

To me the greatest ever. EVER!

My two favourite players to watch, Barry Sanders #1 Running Back, the anticipation of what he'd do with a hand-off, and Deion Sanders #1 Cornerback, the anticipation of what he'd do with an interception. They were the Best of the Best.

friend told me ap Ennis and Walter were better.... I smacked him

He is and always will be the best to ever step on the field in his position

Barry was phenomenal, right next with his mentor, Gale S. What a joy to watch.

Hands down greatest rb ever.....he has to be...cant deny it

Who do we appreciate BARYR BARYR, BARYRRRRR!

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!

The Larry Bird of football...just freakish once in a lifetime skills. Greatest ever, complete original.

That man had flat out SPEED!!!! He is loved and hated at the same time Still to this day in Detroit.

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.

The Best lion of all time just watch him all you can say is wow did he do that unbelievable best of all time I think so

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!

My Barry... my Lions... when are we going to shine?

Best ever, period!
