  • This short documentary takes a look at the marvel that was Barry Sanders. The spins, the jukes, the incredible moves that defy logic...never before and never again will there be a more elusive running back. Arguably the greatest to ever play. Relive the moments.

    For those who were too young to watch him when he was playing, he was truly a once in a universe type of player. Not once in a lifetime, once in an entire universe. It was an honor to watch him play the game. It's like people who are too young to have watched Michael Jordan play. You just feel sorry for people who didn't get that chance. Except Barry was different. A lot of guys could do the things MJ could do since he left the league, just not as consistently, or as stylish, or with the competitive fire to win. Barry Sanders just simply did things on a routine basis that you didn't think human beings could do. And we know that he's unique because it's still 20 years after his early retirement and there's still no one we've ever seen who could do the things Barry Sanders could do on a football field. He was an absolute marvel to watch.

    I always commended Barry Sanders for walking away when he did. He NEVER cared about personal accolades or setting records. He was never comfortable being the center of attention He was sick and tired of losing! The Lions front office continued to make terrible draft picks and trades and his frustration level reached a breaking point. He didn't care ONE BIT about breaking Payton's record...he wanted to WIN...PERIOD. The Lions treated him HORRIBLY during the last 2 seasons of his career.
    Barry Sanders' father? Did EVERYTHING right raising his son. He was Barry's biggest fan on the sidelines rooting for him for his entire career. But he never publicly gave him the praise everybody else did. He always said (in public anyways) that Jim Brown was the best running back of all time and that Barry was 2nd. TOUGH LOVE. The kind of love only great dads know how to give.
    Sanders' father deserves even MORE credit for raising an outstanding, humble, well-spoken human being. A son that was a once in a generation superstar who possessed strong ethics, morals and character. A son that knew how to act both on and off the field.
    This is something that is sadly missing in most of today's professional sports figures.

      C G that sounds like an excuse to me. So when Barry gets all those yards and touchdowns it’s all him. But when he gets negative yards rushing and has a 1-5 playoff record with 1 touchdown in 6 career playoff games, it’s all his teammates fault? Tom Brady has had more help than Aaron Rodgers. Does that mean Rodgers is better than Brady? Certainly Rodgers is more spectacular and has better highlights than Brady. But who’s better?

      C G well yes I am because when Barry and Emmitt played the running back was the most important position. Learn something young man before speaking! And again, based off of your logic, it’s only a team game when it’s critical to Barry. When he is getting 15,000 yards and doing spectacular things it’s not a team game it’s all Barry. But when he gets stuffed and has poor games it’s his teammates.

    Whenever I watch these I get so sad, not for me(a Detroit fan my whole life), but for Barry. The man deserved better. If he played on almost any other team, he would have won a super bowl and easily still have the NFL rushing record today. There is no doubt in my mind, you take 1997 Barry Sanders and plug him into any NFL team today, and they win the super bowl. There never has been and never will be another one like him, pure ability, you can't teach that. Absolutely amazing.
    Only the Detroit Lions could make a man like that want to walk away from the thing he loved, that hurts, as a fan, to know it was the organization that let him down. I honestly wish, if they weren't going to build a team around him, they would have just traded him. I still would have watched and loved him!

I was just disappointed I was never going to see him run again. He will always be the greatest running back to ever touch a football in my eyes and I was blessed to be able to watch him during his career.

Handing the ball to the ref like “I’ll be back in a minute.” That man will always belong right there, scoring a touchdown. The best to ever do it.
