Barry Sanders Highlights (Final Version)

- The most elusive runningback ever to play football. The best overall runningback in NFL history not named Jim Brown. Barry ran for over 15,000 yards and 99 touchdowns, stopping short of the all time rushing record at the time when he retired after the 1998 season. His accolades speak for themself; 6x All Pro, 10x Pro Bowler, 1994 and 1997 Offensive Player of the Year, 1997 NFL Co-MVP, and a Hall of Famer.

This dude embarrassed hall of famers. Best running back of all time!
Yep!!!!!! He's MEAN! Phenomenon talent period!!!!!! Gayle Sayers was exactly like this!!!
Nah Walter payton
Not better than Payton
Each of Barry Sanders 10 seasons was a masterpiece"..." opening line says it all. Seeing him in person during games was amazing, film doesn't really capture just how much better he was than everyone on the field.
For the young people watching this clip, you have no idea what a running back is until you watch his entire filmography.
25 years after his retirement and there still hasn't been another rb that plays like him. Nobody else can do what he did.
Nope. And it even close!
In these Barry Sanders highlight vids, they never show him break Rod Woodson's ankles and back with a 100% WICKED jook. Sanders only gained a few yards on that play, but, poor Woodson...he was done after that.
OJ COULD
I am an Australian and really do not have much interest in American football but I find myself watching as many Barry Sanders highlights as I can.To me he is one of those individuals that transcends sport and I find myself watching him rather than the sport itself.
Barry sanders is actually unstoppable
The goat barry said it the love of the game
That’s what’s lacking these days in all sports.. it’s now all about money and not about loyalty, respect and love for the game
I'm puttin it out there!! For me, I've seen all the great running backs play except for Jim Brown. But!!!! If ya want to get technical about it pound for pound Barry Sanders is the greatest of all time. Class defined!! Retires at the top like any great athlete should. Man could of played 5 more years , but records were not his top priority!!! Love You Barry!!!
Unlike Brady. He played this last year because he wanted all time yards & Drew Brees retired last year. Give credit where due, he was a great QB but I have no doubt that was his main reason. If Brees didn't retire last year Brady might have. Brady didn't announce his intensions til after Brees retired. Sanders was one bad man . 1 more year & he would have had record . Sucks he never got to play in a Super Bowl. Hell, barely a playoff & still today is the only playoff win the Lions have
@@stevenday9687 So? And you can't compare Brees to Brady. Brees is a first ballot hofer... but Brady is the best ever
@@justinamenta7241 but how do you know Brady is the best without guys like Brees to compare them to? Nobody can say Brady isn't because so much says he is. There are factors though. Other great players, coaches & even team owners. Is Brady great if the Lions drafted him. I .ran there's oy one person with more rings & that's Belechek so that is proof coaching matters. The team & it's philosophy. Great players will shine Brady, Man ing Far e,Montana we t to other teams & had success. Those teams had talent though.Is Montana great without Rice, Taylor & Clark? Is Brady great without Gronk, Edelman & countless other great players in a program that is coached by possible the greatest coach of all time. The Saints we're cellar dwellers when Brees got there. N.E. was a playoff team when Brady arrived. I'd vote Brady but there are things he had that others didn't
Definitely the GOAT, nobody comes close in my opinion. The most humble and talented football player ever
Barry Sanders was the best runningback to ever exist in my personal opinion. The way he could change direction on a dime, read the defenders then just explode through the gap and outrun everyone was a great thing to watch as a high school kid back then. Ive not seen anyone who could run quite like he did before or since, and to top it all off he is a very humble guy and never showboated or talk trash he just let his skill talk for him.
Barry Sanders- the one and only true G.O.A.T.
Don’t disrespect Walter Payton
The first person to be called the GOAT was Jerry Rice.
Good Morning Mr Sanders toyour family we have deaf son myself and him we watch your highlight's you are a blessed by god in the World when you score the line you never dance or throh the ball on ground you are super super person because love's you
His footwork was second to none.dec2021.
Agreed.jan2022.
Trying to tackle Barry Sanders was like trying to catch a fly in mid air with chopsticks 😊😁😊😁
best ever to run the ball
This man was Ultra Instinct before it was even a thought.
Lol man.. it was like he was Neo in the Matrix how he would freeze players up and then be gone!
As a lifelong Lions of that era I was fortunate to watch and cherish Barry Sanders.
His footwork is like watching prime Olajwuon and McHale, to compare NFL and NBA.
You can learn aspects of his style, but part of it is innate. Some people are just wired to excel in certain sports.
Edit: Just imagined if we had seen him with an excellent O-line. He probably would've shattered all records in just the 10 yrs he played.
Barry is my best running back of all time the things he did was incredible you couldn’t tackle this man his juking game and shiftiness was hard to stop he was a force
The best back I have ever seen. Never seen a back the could run like him
When you're at the 20, there's3 defenders in front of you & the QB is signaling TD, you know you're good. 2nd highlight.
Man that Cowboys one always gets me! OMG 75 WAS COMPLETELY LOST! And 51 was shooketh!
😂🤦🏾♂️
Rodney's reaction is priceless. 20 yards out, hands the ball to Barry and declares a TD.
You know a player is great when someone else starts celebrating before they even score. I've seen Randy Moss put his hand up calling for the football when he was even with the defensive back; knew he had beat before he was actually beat.
@@dukewilson14 If you're even you're leavin'
Was always in awe to watch Barry put the entire team on his back and carry them when they needed him most. Was a treat watching him at the Silverdome and I am lucky to have seen it!
Barry was something else. To be fair about it, the Lions had a pretty good passing game during Barry's tenure with the Lions. Herman Moore, Brett Perriman and Johnny Morton caught a lot of passes and touchdowns. The Lions fell victim to an inordinate amount of good old fashioned bad luck in many close losses. That Honolulu Blue and Silver uniform of the Lions is the closest thing to formal wear in the NFL.
Barry Sanders As The Most Elusive NFL Runningback . Just As Tony Romo As The NFL Most Elusive Quarterback Great NFL Legends . ..
Lionel Messi and Barry footwork are amazing
BEST RUNNING BACK OF ALL TIME
The quickest feet in the history of the game.
Agreed that he had very quick feet. Had even quicker reaction time. Just absurd some of the moves he made.
B Sanders - there will never be another RB like him ever.
The FACT that he is the -yard leader.... Truly blows my mind!!😲
Don't blame Barry for that. Blame that turd of an NFL franchise for it.
@@dougbrowne9890 im not blaming any one or anything. Its just a hard to believe FACT.
@@frankponcharelo7276 knowing his overall stats are elite AND he has the most negative yards makes it that much more special.
@@MattPawlowski sure if you say so. I dont think anyone would bragg about negative yards.
@@frankponcharelo7276 it's not bragging about negative yards. It's saying that even though he owns such a bad record, his positive records are still amazing and you could only imagine how insane his stats would've been with Emmitt's o-line.
I remember city football when i was 12yrs from Michigan if u got the #20 jersey u were the man, but u had to try your hardest too lol. For sure most popular # in 90s
I've only bought one Jersey in my life.,,.. #20
Barry will always be the best hands down
That guy was such a weapon. Every time he touched the ball it made me hold my breath. I'm sure I'm not the only one. Such greatness.
show me someone consistently better...
I hate when idiots say Barry didn't win. He did way more than his part. Not his fault that ownership, coaching and teammates weren't at the same level as him.
I would of love to see him in a super bowl
As a 60 year suffering Lions fan we've seen a lot of wasted talent here in Detroit, Sanders, Calvin Johnson, Mel Farr, Lem Barney, Charley Sanders, Greg Landry, on and on and on. even Mathew Stafford. He's in the playoffs with LA RAMS in his first season there. I like Rogers and Packers to win out, but rooting for Rams, because it will prove that Stafford wasn't the problem in Detroit, ITS THE WHOLE ORGANIZATION!! Plenty of ex Lions have gone to other teams and won championships. Lions are hexed by the Bobby Laine curse. It LIVES ON!
Well said. As a 54-year-old Lions fan, I can say this was the greatest player. No other RB would've come close to putting up his stats.
Without question, arguably the greatest of all time. Just imagine, Barry Sanders running behind the same O-line as Emmitt Smith. Barry would have made 2500 yards in a season. The GOAT!!
Sanders had an EXCELLENT O Line. Barry had 7- time Pro Bowl tackle Lomas Brown from 1989-1995, 3 -time Pro Bowl center Kevin Glover from 1989-1997, 2- time Pro Bowl guard Jeff Hartings from 1996-1998, 4- time Pro Bowl tackle Bill Fralic in 1993. Also, the Lions lost two quality lineman to freak accidents, guard Mike Utley was paralyzed in 1991 and guard Eric Andolsek was killed by a truck in 1992, both were with Barry his first three years.
@@thegorn68
Fair enough. But, those O-lineman are no Nate Newton, Erik Williams, Mark Tuinei or Mark Stepnoski. Not even close. Understand, I am no Cowboys fan in the least. Only a football purist. Sanders running behind the players I mentioned would have easily eclipsed 2500 yards. Emmitt Smith is a good back but he couldn't hold Sanders jock.
Barry is the reason why I liked the Lions. Just waiting for the one special “Super Bowl” lmao
I will have a video for Lions fans in a few weeks. Should make you feel better lol.
Well they came close in 1991 but too bad they had to play the Redskins who were just too good that year and no shame in losing to them on the road.
Imagine having Barry Sanders on your team for TEN YEARS and only winning one post-season game. The Loins front office is a clown car.
THANK YOU!
Barry's DA GOAT!!!
If Barry Sanders had played a few more years, then he would have destroyed the record books. The best ever!
The one and only. Best ever.
Cool hearing Wynton Marsalis give his 2 cents.
Thanks berry Yuu made my life as a lions fan fantastic
Barry Sanders is one of the most elusive running backs to ever play football 🏈
First team, lifetime all pro.
What can you say about Barry that hasn’t already been said! I’m just glad I was able to watch him play…I hated him the week he played our team other then that!
Was in the only playoff game the Lions have won to date
It's all instinct. Take the mind out of it, you know your purpose, and you survive.
my personal best RB
Walter and Barry are the best ever without question! Dickerson and Bo were beyond great too, but needed some good blocking to do their thing (not at the collage level, but in the NFL). Smith and Peterson at their best were right there too.
Someone always over looked is Curtis Martin. He played for the Jets though so like Barry, never got to Super Bowl.
Barry Sanders n Allen Iverson
Berry might have had the moves, but Walter had the strength, the ambition to get further, the blocking, the passing, the catching.. he was the full package he was the best football player and best running back of all time
True, VERY true!
Honor a quien Honor merece, tremendo corredor
@2:10 Another great Lawarance Taylor is closing in on him..
No one beatin barry!
I really wish he had played long enough to get a Superbowl ring he deserved a Superbowl ring or a few of them for that matter but anyways his legend and career will always stand out!!
He would never have been able to play long enough, to win a Super Bowl, wearing a Lions jersey. The Detroit Lions are the most pathetic franchise in NFL history. Put Barry on a good team, he shatters ever record in the book.
Barry Sanders made more out of nothing than any running back....EVER! Yeah, he ran a lot of east/west yards, but only because the Lions SUCKED!!! Had he played for a good team, he would have shattered the record book, because he would have played 5+ more years. Playing for the Lions would drain the happiness of playing from anyone. He IS the GOAT!
The Lions have a history of ruining GREAT players!
The Lions didn't "suck" when Barry played for them. They won their division twice and went to the playoffs 5 different seasons during Sanders' career.
If he had played behind the Hoggs and had Joe Gibbs as his coach, he would have 2000 yards every year
1 through 3rd quarter 15 carries 12 yards. 3-4th 5 carries 123 yards. But if the coach abandoned the run 3rd quarter we would think he had a bad game. That wouldn't be the running backs fault. Many runners have this pattern.
G.O.A.T.
Great video and great running back, although I didn’t understand one word that narrator was saying. I don’t think he did either.
He definitely wanted people to know he was a musician.
Not how I remembered it went down,He wanted to be traded and Detroit wouldn’t let him go so he retired
One thing about about running a francise is not only winning championships but also making money. The Lions refused to let Barry go because he filled those stadiums everytime he suited up. That's it, period.
Yet he never won against Oklahoma. His Heisman year they came close, Barry ran for 215 yds, but the OU RB went for for 213 yds. Imagine the numbers if he had ever played for a good team.
That much talent going to a team like Detroit should be a crime.
Sadly, his 1991 Season was his best chance at a Super Bowl and Washington squandered it. Even they haven’t been good since.
Im a 60+ year suffering Lions fan. You're right, but nobody was going to beat the Redskins that year. The NFC championship between Lions /Skins was a better game than the Superbowl . Lions were a better team than Buffalo that year.
@@jamesalllan7806 I wished the Falcons beat them in the Divisional because the Championship would have been in Detroit. They were lights out indoors on artificial turf. The Super Bowl that year was in the Metrodome. I know they would have beaten Buffalo as well. It’s sickening to wonder.
Imagine how much better he would have been if he had been on a great team?!?!?
Like Smith? Best On-line in the NFL plus a HOF QB, WR, TE.
Catch if you can ...once he got out of a tackle he was gone...gone....gone
Barry's own dad used to be a jim brown fan and tell barry that brown was the greatest rb of all time. Which of course is silly, while brown might have been the best in his time, barry is clearly the superior athlete and far better rb... however, i often wonder if his dad telling him this kept barry humble and motivated him to try harder.
Imagine of he had o line like the Cowboys he would've shattered every record in 10 seasons
Dude was a cheat code.
Almost any of his runs would have been a high light reel for any other back. But not barry. He was like a man among boys.
Barry was so frustratingly inconsistent at times...so many plays where he couldn't get away from the defense because of how bad the line was...or because he tried a little too hard.
But at least once per game....magic would happen. Fun to watch and unreal in terms of talent.
One of my favorite players of all time.
Barry Sanders lost the most yards rushing and still averaged 5 yards per carry!
They needed to use him more as a receiver, but this was back in the day of simpleton football with no imagination, way before teams like the Chiefs came along.
@@CaptWalkerRunning backs were used as receivers back then. Chuck Foreman, James Brooks, Roger Craig, Marcus Allen, Walter Payton, Thurman Thomas, Marshall Faulk, etc..all played before Barry or during his career and they caught a significant amount of passes.
I've been saying it my whole life, but this is the first time I'll comment it. WHO TF IS BETTER THAN BARRY!?... *ahem* excuse my yelling.
Everybody should pause at 0:41 and check out those ridiculous stats
For a long time I have debated after watching the film who is the best runner I ever saw Gale Sayers or Barry Sanders it's a toss up I can't make a choice
Did it all with no mouthpiece in
How his east west was better than his north south..
See ive always thought of Sanders and Payton as 2 sides of the perfect running back. Sanders is gonna dodge you and make you look silly. Payton is gonna run through you and make you look silly. I could watch both of their highlights forever. Both really never had a great o-line for their careers.
99% ⌚#20was Just as Fast ⏩ as he needed 2B!
my second cousin jhon jett on my dad's side of the family
Barry Sanders, is the greatest of all times, You know what Emmit Smith was doing his 11th and 12th yr, CATCHING UP TO HIS BETTERS, that is the equivalent of a person graduating high school at the age of 20, he could not get it done in the time allotted. I suppose if someone stayed in the nfl for 20 years with crap stats they would be considered the best. You would think with the cowboys offensive line Emmit would have done much better. If you pay attention to the plays where it seems Barry's own quarterback was trying to kill him for Barry to still make gains is phenomenal. Emmit is the no kid left behind, someone really felt sorry for him to claim he is better.
please save your breath about others like emmit smith. to compare him in the same breath as barry is an insult. ES was so one dimensional it is pathetic. the only thing ES ever faked out was the public into thinking he was something specail.
help me understand ...?
Best running back every, due too no offensive line hardly....
Im sorry Barry played for the lions
talking about with the lions....
big fan of sanders' game, but could only get 3 minutes in, because of wynton marsalis. that guy bugs me.
Coulda done without Wynton’s prattle
NFL version of Michael Jordan
The biggest lie ever propagated by NFL sports pundits, is the Lions didn't have a great offensive line. Nothing could farther from the truth. Uniformed, ignorance, completely bullxxxx. Ken Glover was the best center in the NFL played 8 years during most of Sanders career. Lomas Brown all pro, every year of his career, Bill Fralic, Dave Lutz made the pro-bowl. Jeff Hardings another all pro Lions and Steelers. Mike Utley would of played in a pro- bowl in 1991 if hadn't been for the devastating injury he sustained near the end of the 1991 season. It ended his career. Eric Andelosick was probably the best, out all the Lions O- line during Sanders career. He was killed by a drunk driver, in his front yard raking leaves. The Lions had great O-lines during the Barry Sanders era in Detroit. Ask Barry yourselves!
People forget that he did this while playing for the worst team in sports history.
Clippers have something to say about that.
@@dukewilson14 Winless season and haven't won a post season game since 91.
@dorkanderson4963 Lions actually have championships though, but they have been dreadful in the Super Bowl Era no doubt about it.
@@dukewilson14 I grew up in Farmington Hills a couple of miles from Steve Balmer owner of the Clippers. Think Barry Sanders and his dad lived here too.
If I started a franchise I still take Emmitt. What do you not get with him? He's a better blocker, more durable, drives his whole team to victory with one arm and does this stuff too: czcams.com/video/rhgdKzwoRU0/video.html It's the easiest choice one can make.
LOL
Totally disagree on early retirement, never considered the fans he let down it was very disappointing
The Fords let the fans down, not Barry. Consistently great for 10 seasons without the best supporting cast around him. The notion that he let the fans down is absurd to me. At the end of the day, it's his body he's putting on the line by playing so if he doesn't want to play (regardless of reason), then I can't fault him for retiring.
G.O.A.T.
