Barry had less years retired early yep like to be Barry not bow bow wasn't better having extra time for stats kinda like Calvin johnson 😀 and Payton same deal they weren't sanders
When Dan said you could see Bo I immediately thought you could hear the wind as he went by. For Barry to say I didn't get it done is a perfect example of his humility, he did everything possible he just didn't get the help or that level of coaches.
Christian man, humble, and complete class act who stands alone with Jim Brown as the two best NFL RB's in history. Barry could have had every record in the book but retired early like Jim Brown did. God bless Mr. Barry Sanders.
I had his rookie card, jersey and poster on my wall. He could greet me at the supermarket and I wouldn't even think past greeting him back until I was on my way home freaking out that that might just have been Big Bad Barry friggin Sanders. Legend and class act!
Barry is one in a gazillion on the field and off. God given talents and all the way down on the ground about it. He never got a SB ring, but he was/is a champion of the working class nonetheless and there was NO one as exciting to watch as him. The insane degree of dificulty of the shit he'd do every game and make it look like it was nothing. Doing ALL the talking even necessary on the field. Pictureframes spoke a million words with him.
Bo was the best athlete to ever be in a backfield with his speed and power, but Sanders is the best running back of all time with his body of work. He would have held the record if he had continued to play.
Agreed. Barry had no team around him and every defense knew who was getting the ball, and yet he still did all that he did. If he wouldn't have retired in his prime. He would still have the all time rushing record today.
@@sydboski Nah, Hershel not even in the ball park. Hershel had to work like crazy to be where he was, Bo rarely ever trained, just walk out there and did it, do yourself a favor, don't repeat what you said to people who know sports, I'm sure you are a sweet kid tho.
@@powerboatguy2308 So because Walker worked harder means Bo was a better athlete? What sense does that make? None. None what so ever. Walker was faster in the track 10.23 to 10.44 100m and 55m 6.11 to 6.18. Both played Pro football, but Walker played HB, FB, and KR. Bo played MLB. Walker didn't. Walker was an Olympic Bobsledder 9th in the world. Bo wasn't. Walker was a professional MMA fighter with a 5th degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do. Bo wasn't. So it looks to me that Walker was faster, more versatile, and did more sports at the highest level than Bo. Pretty easy to see who was the better all around athlete. Herschel Walker.
@@sydboski Dude, don't share your thoughts anywhere else to avoid ridicule. There is a reason Bo is in a lot of conversations of being the best athlete of all time, Herschel is not. You can write forever, you are not going to change mine or most people's opinion.
Barry is such a humble man, I loved to watch him run. Imagine how many ring's he would've had with a offense of line like the Steelers had back in the 70's, in my opinion Barry was the quickest runner he would stop on a dime and back up to speed in one or two steps.
Didn’t appreciate Barry Sanders back in his day cause I always liked the bruisers, but have an unbelievable admiration for him now, and the only thing more awesome than his jaw dropping moves…is his humility. RESPECT!!!
"It would be nice to be able to ... run over a guy or run around him, just take your pick depending on how you feel that day." That pretty much sums it up Bo Jackson.
Barry was a small guy. He had the best moves. He is the greatest running back. Bo could have been if he played only football and didn't get hurt. Watching him play football and baseball was one of the coolest things. Watching no was equal to those people getting watchthe babe.
Barry Sanders is indisputably the greatest pure running back to every play the game. Of all time. He was like watching poetry in motion. Very few players really are so electrifying because they could score anytime the ball was in their hands. Barry was cream of the crop. The only player I’ve ever seen as captivating as him was Michael Vick. Deion was good too, but as DB.. meh, you don’t care what they’re doing unless the balls there.
No way. Deion was far better football player than bo and a far better baseball player than bo . I watched them both and the numbers don't lie either . In the nfl , deion played the entire game , offense, defense, and special teams . Deion is the best cornerback who's ever played he literally shutdown his side of the field against the best hof receivers to ever play , he changed the game . Jerry Rice, the Goat says himself he'd lose sleep trying to figure out how to succeed when he had to play against deion , hof in their primes Rice , Irvin,Tim brown,Chris Carter all said deion had a better chance at catching the ball then they did . You can make a case for who's the best receivers, best running back, best quarterback beat linebacker etc etc . There is only one concensus in the entire nfl game on who's the greatest corner of all time . Deion Sanders . The 49ers paid deion to shut down receivers to win the superbowl , two years later , Dallas paid deion to shut down receivers to win the superbowl . Deion in the world series batted 533 , one strike out , 2 doubles ,2 walks 5 stolen bases , one throw out at the plate , no errors led both teams in on base percentage If the braves would've been able to win , Sanders would've been easily the mvp of the world series . That year regular season Sanders hit 301 , 26 stolen bases , 14 triples which led all mlb players . Bo could never dream of anything close . Hands down , Deion Sanders was a far better two sport athlete than Bo. But I get it , bo was big broke some bats , ran up a wall and hit some bombs between his 150 strikeouts every season . One time bo and deion played against eachother in baseball , bo hit 3 hr , deion walked twice then hit a screaming line drive to bo , bo dove for the ball and missed it terribly his huge body crashed to the ground separating his shoulder , Dion never stopped running hitting an inside the park home run . Football , bo just stiff armed Deion out of the way . Bo knows size and speed, But Deion was far better at both . Bo was outwardly , publicly humble an advertisers golden goose . Likeable guy Deion was brash , when asked by a reporter, Deion replied , they dont pay me to be humble , they pay me to win .
Wow! I love that guy. By far my favorite athlete to watch play. I mean it’s a tough call between him and Bo. But Sanders just had a shine to him that no one else had.
Three great athletes who were the best at what they did. There’s no one “best” of anything, your the best if you give it all you got! My question is are we the best we can be. Be thankful for what you have, be thoughtful of others, and be thorough and diligent in all you do. We all do that then we’re the best!
He handled that with such class and humility. If you're the best or at least one of the best and that list is that short as it should be, you don't have to say you're the best.
It's so funny. He's so small and unassuming. If the average person saw Barry Sanders on the street today, they would have doubts that Barry even played at the college level. Best rb of all time in my opinion.
All opions all were the greatest we may neber see athelets like this again and had the came along in todays time WOW GLAD I SAW AND MET THEM THEY ARE SPECIAL
I'd have to go with Bo, then Deion then Barry exactly for the same reason Barry gave. Bo Jackson is the best athlete my eyes have ever seen. His baseball highlights are out of this world.
Barry is such a good human being. The best Running Back ever. Played for an awful team all his career Bo Jackson, the best athlete to play Football and Baseball. Deion Sanders the best Cornerback and likely the second best athlete in the NFL ever.
Barry is the greatest player to ever suit up. Period. Literally played 11 v 1 and dominated from high school til his last day in the pros. His highlights are unmatched. Period.
Greatest running back of my generation.... and arguably ever. There wouldn't be an argument though if he played just a couple of more years. Amazing player and an even better man.
I just listened to Shannon Sharpe on NIGHTCAP had a hard time deciding who the better football player was ( Barry or Deion)….and here’s the man being as humble as talking like just a regular guy
I mean for me, Barry is the greatest RB over Walter, Jim, and Emmitt. And see how humble he is with the reasonable argument... even with a sense of humor wow.. that's something. You can see is not pretending too. Best "man" I've ever saw in sports interview man.. legit guy
I saw an interview where a teammate of Bo's said after he was done with a baseball season, he just showed up on day in late October with no football type activity for nearly a year, and just cracked his neck, did a few stretches and went into a full contact practice in pads.........no problem. Anyone who's ever played any football knows that Bo was easily the best athlete.
If you watch Barry Sanders NFL run highlights, You'll notice he never broke some very long runs like Bo Jackson did. Barry was VERY quick but a lot of defensive backs could catch him from behind on a long run. Bo Jackson got caught from behind less times than you have fingers on your right hand. The famous 88yrd run where Bo Jackson got caught on the 1yrd line by Kansas city corner back Rod Jones was the rare exception. If you watch that run, Bo had cut back all the way across the field before breaking it open, So Bo probably ran more than 100 actual yards on that play. Bo said his "tank was on empty", he was exhausted at the 20yrd line and it's easy to believe it. Also remember Rod Jones was all American track star in college and had won national titles in track. All 3 listed in this video's title were once in a life time incredible athletes that we were very luck to see play. I wish we had gotten to see more of Bo Jackson play football.
@@ErikThomasMusic Barry had some long runs but what James Smith said is true...he was exeptionally elusive but he did not have the straight line breakaway speed that Bo Jackson had...CBs could catch up to Sanders from behind and often did.
Did you just say Barry never broke long runs? In 97 alone he had 3 80yard plus TD runs. In 94, there were 9 total runs of 60+ yards in the NFL and Barry had 6 of them
You are delusional, Barry had more 50 yard runs than any running back and he was only caught from behind a couple of times, probably because he was so tired from trying to carry a terrible Detroit lion team, he also had 99 touchdowns most of them long runs. Bo was fast but Barry had the greatest cuts, acceleration and moves than any back
Of these three: Bo, Deion then Barry. But Herschel Walker and the GOAT Jim Thorpe are on another level. Jim Brown and Wilt are on that second tier too.
Bo Jackson is clearly the best athlete of modern times. The man was legit track, mlb nfl stud. When he played baseball he was both the fastest AND strongest man in baseball. If I could have anyone’s body it’d be Bo Jackson. No one else is even close.
Barry was fast, he would make dbs with a head start look like they were standing still. But bo did it with an extra 30-40 pounds on him. I still think barry was the best rb to do it, but bo is the better athlete. He is a freak. They (His baseball peers and coaches) said, his baseball skill was PURE instinct and athleticism. If he had devoted himself to baseball and learned the nuances of the game, he would have been the next micky mantle. All that being said, the coolest moment in sports history is deon showing up to the nfl combine in a limo, wearing a fur coat, walked on the field, handed someone his coat and shades, went right to the line w no warm ups, ran a 4.2, got his shades and coat, and got back in the limo and left. 😎
My choice would be Deion Sanders. The guy could play so many positions and be great at any of them. He could run the ball. He could be an excellent receiver. He could play Tight End and he was a great defensive player. I never liked his personality, but he was a great player in his day.
Sad the old guys that remember him are mostly gone, none of the above. Legendary Jim brown nobody will ever come close, 9y yrs never missed a game never injured defenses actually feared the guy !. Average over 5yds a carry in a Era when everybody ran.
Bo is the best all-around athlete I've ever seen but Barry has a longer RB highlight reel, which is saying a lot because both of them wowed us every time they touched the ball.
For all his accomplishments Barry actually has the right to be a little bit arrogant but he always chooses to be humble. Class act.
Totally agree
He was completely unaffected by his fame.
Best RBs to me are Jim Brown and Jackson. Not everyone can play part time and put Marcus Allen on the bench
Goat RB
Jim Brown was the most talented
Bo is black superman...but Barry Sanders is the greatest RB I have ever witnessed...and just so humble as well
Bo is Superman
You never saw Walter Payton.
All facts bro
Barry had less years retired early yep like to be Barry not bow bow wasn't better having extra time for stats kinda like Calvin johnson 😀 and Payton same deal they weren't sanders
Nor calvin there hall of farmers and the young buck Gibbs is getting them lessons
Barry is so humble. it's impossible not to love this man!!!
Barry so humble man,
What a humble superstar athlete
He is cool,humble his laugh, would love to hang out with him very knowledgeable.
Barry Sanders is easily the greatest running back of all time! No contest.
I've always wondered what Walter Payton's numbers would have been if he had played indoors for half his games ?
Bo is the best athlete of all time, but Barry's humbleness in greatness is outstanding
Wilt ?
Barry is the most exciting must see RB in NFL history. He did something amazing every single week.
Barry was a certified beast at RB.
Got to LOVE Barry Sanders. Humility oozes from him. Thanks for the memories Barry.
I love everything about this man, especially his laugh. God bless you Mr. Sanders. As a kid growing up in Detroit, you were my hero.
When Dan said you could see Bo I immediately thought you could hear the wind as he went by. For Barry to say I didn't get it done is a perfect example of his humility, he did everything possible he just didn't get the help or that level of coaches.
Christian man, humble, and complete class act who stands alone with Jim Brown as the two best NFL RB's in history. Barry could have had every record in the book but retired early like Jim Brown did. God bless Mr. Barry Sanders.
I didn't know Barry was Christian. That's Awesome
wtf does him being religious have to do with anything regarding athleticism. This isn't a place to evangelize.
Bo Jackson among the greatest since Jim Thorpe.
The Legend! Still my GOAT RB
I had his rookie card, jersey and poster on my wall. He could greet me at the supermarket and I wouldn't even think past greeting him back until I was on my way home freaking out that that might just have been Big Bad Barry friggin Sanders. Legend and class act!
Bo is the greatest athlete.... Deion is the greatest defensive back..... Barry is the greatest running back

The insane degree of dificulty of the shit he'd do every game and make it look like it was nothing. Doing ALL the talking even necessary on the field. Pictureframes spoke a million words with him.
Plus he had the all-time best touchdown celebration.
As always, Barry continues to be very humble. He’s still the greatest back in the history of the league….coming from a Cowboys fan.
There will be great athletes to come, there will never be another Barry Sanders.
Bo was the best athlete to ever be in a backfield with his speed and power, but Sanders is the best running back of all time with his body of work. He would have held the record if he had continued to play.

yeah, i mean the other two athletes will tell you it's Bo. This isn't debatable.
Bo…but Barry’s humblization is admirable….
Your vocabulary isn't
I got Bo, anybody that lived thru that era understands. He ran like a 4.1 40
4.18 , but *who's counting?!* 😆
Yep!
If he hadn't gotten hurt, there's no telling what craziness he had achieved. Tecmo Bowl. Bo ALL the way baby. Barry a very close second. :-D
@@bruun1974 AGGIN rushed for 900 yards as a PART TIME player. In the 16 game era.

So humble until he embarrasses the entire defense. One man wrecking crew. Salute!
Going against Bo is against the law,my favorite player ever
Man Barry made me fall in love with football.
Bo Jackson 100%

He handled that with such class and humility. If you're the best or at least one of the best and that list is that short as it should be, you don't have to say you're the best.
Humble with Class, a rare commodity in professional sports.
