No Barry you got it done. They sold you off as the Barry Sanders Show. There was no serious effort for the team to win a ring, if it happens it happens, and if it didn’t it didn’t. As long as your ass was selling tickets that’s all Ford wanted so you did got it done.
@@chrisisslick yep, imagine him swapping spots with Emmitt on the cowboys and he would hold every record or if he would have ended up with Steve Young and the 49ers. If he had been on a winning team and in title contention he probably would have played 8 or 10 more years, losing is not fun.
@@nintendogamer5472 How many people would at least hint their team wasn't up to it? Incredible. I don't know many people anywhere who don't blame their family, their neighbourhood, job, school, something held them back. This guy has a no argument comparison like you just made, and you'll never hear it from him. Give it up for Barry, an athlete who is also a role model.
Most of the old school athletes were/are that way. They were true professionals and didn't "market" themselves. They just let their game do the talking.
It’s not weird if you grew up in this era. This new social media generation is pure narcissism. Back then, people still had values and morals and were normal
About 10 years ago, I spent an afternoon playing golf with Barry. After golfing he asked me to eat lunch with him and his family. He’s the coolest celebrity I’ve ever met. Super humble and just chill guy. No arrogance or ego at all.
Believe "us all" it comes across when he does media. As great as he was at the game. Barry would be a successful hit man, because he'd never have the need to tell everyone about his resume.
That sounds amazing. I absolutely love when famous people, especially greats from a sport, are as nice in person as we wish they were. I hung out with Dave Grohl for a few minutes in a lobby and he was exactly the same: humble, friendly, and just as engaged as I was.
@@bobbypinkston9374 he really was. Super nice guy and it was folks like LT, Joe Theismann, Andre Reed, and other super famous people and they were loving the attention, but Barry was just low key and didn’t court any attention,
He looks like a child in that couch. I'm 58 yrs old, By far the best RB I had the privilege to watch play. One of the classiest to play the game. When he scored, he always acted like he'd been there before and will be back for another.
No he wasn't. He couldn't get short yardage, he couldn't pick up blitzes and he was a below average receiver. He is the most exciting RB maybe but greatest🤣
@@drexlspivey3047 dude averaged 99.8 yards per game. 10/10 pro bowls. 5 seasons of 1500 or more yards. Never rushed for less than 1100 yards. the only season he rushed for less than 1,300 yards was when he missed five games with a knee injury. Hes the best RB ever.
@@demarcdegasol Jim brown avg 105 yds per game. He played 118 games, never missed a start. 9/9 pro bowls, 9/9 All pro( 8 1st team), 3 MVPs, 8 Rushing titles. Case closed😜
@@trumpsflushingdocumentsaga2689 If Jim Brown was playing against them big defensive players in the 90s there’s no way he’s averaging 105yds over his career. Plus if Barry was playing against those clumsy cab drivers in the late 50 to early 60 he would probably average 150yds a game for his career.
@@viperguyz The only reason i wouldnt say Brown was the greatest was because Barry's dad always said he was and even called Barry the 3rd greatest RB ever, not sure who was #2? But i respect Barry too much to say anything bad about his dad but what he said about him at his Hall of Fame induction speech was even offensive to me and i better had just leave it at that. But as far Jim Brown goes he was playing in a time when defenses were generally much slower and less complex than today and players as fast and strong as Brown would simply abuse them. Just imagine what Barry would have done against those teams in the 60's and 70's,...oh wait i forgot that Brown retired in '65 after just about 8 seasons...and i thought he was supposed to be Mr. Reliability or something like that?
Never a lions fan but Barry was my favorite. Seahawks are my team I live North of the border but took a ferry and drove for 2 hours to see Barry play, thanks for being so cool 😎
I was a videographer in Tulsa back in the 80s. The first OSU game I ever worked and the first time I ever saw Barry play he received a kickoff...and proceed to blow everyone off the field and score. He was amazing.
Barry Sanders has to be the greatest, most humble athlete that has ever lived. Tebow might be as humble, but nowhere as great. Thank God for Barry being raised by a great set of parents and it shows.
A true Football superstar and so humble. One of the greatest players in the history of the game. Imagine if he'd been the RB for the Redskins in 80s or Cowboys in 90s, how many super bowl rings?
It’s good to see him, I think this may be the first interview that I have seen him in since his playing days. This guy was an amazing back and one of the best ever!
This is so cool to see Barry looking happy and healthy. Also, even though he was soft-spoken during his playing days, I knew he had that engaging persona in him somewhere. He's definitely someone that appears to be in a cool space, and I'm sure it's well deserved.
Barry sanders was the greatest running back ever. I watched him play and did so much. So much respect for Barry sanders. I wish he was able to get a super bowl ring.
I love Barry, Not just because I was a Lions fan during his time(still am a Lions fan), but because he doesn't answer a question by avoiding the question, he answers the question. He was asked who is better you or Deion and he answered it. He didn't try to dance around it and give some answer like "I was good at this and he was good at that, so we were about equal." He said 'those are my only two choices' and he picked one. He does that, pretty much, with EVERY question. Love it.
Barry is probably one of the nicest humans in the world. Got a chance to meet him in 1991. December, right before Xmas in Stillwater, OK. Very humble man. Does not think hes better than anybody. He is the best running back of all time. Period... Love that man.
Raiders fan for decades but man when I use to see Barry play on that lions team specially with Scott Mitchell as there quarterback jezzzzzz he got me as a fan in that time
i was 11 in 1989 when barry came up and he was awesome to watch. i like him as a person more than a football player because he is humble and down to earth, i think barry was talking about Tim Harris as the big trash talker for greenbay back in the early 90's
Loved watching him play and especially loved when he would score a TD...just handed the ball to the ref. He expected to score and when he ran, he made the pro's look like amateurs. The most exciting RB to ever play professional football, by far.
I was never a Detroit Lions fan but I love to see this man Deion Sanders play every Sunday to me he is one of the great running backs I ever saw my three favorite running backs are Barry Sanders Walter Payton and Bo Jackson
My favorite RB of all time! Humble, gracious and left your jaw on the floor. We can wonder what could have been had there been a better O-Line and a commitment to building around him. Love that he retired on his own terms.
I can not convey to anyone the feeling of pure joy and privilege that I felt living in Michigan and getting to cheer for Barry. Win, lose. I didn't care. I was a winner every time I got to see him play football. Thx Barry.
Every single Michigan resident loves Barry Sanders, he was the most fun player to watch. The numbers he put up are amazing because we really didn’t have a passing game or a good O line. Barry just didn’t good down and he is by far the greatest RB ever
if not for growing up in Chicago, Barry would be my favorite, I remember watching his 1988 season at OSU, he had multiple 300- yard games, over 2600 yards rushing...
Detroit fan here ....Barry Sanders, Nicholas Listrom, Steve Yzerman, AL Kaline and Joe Dumars were some of the greatest professionals in there sports and most of all greatest people in professionals sports....we were blessed to have them here
Barry seems like the kind of guy who is reserved but once you get him out of his shell he's the funniest guy at the party. I love his interviews during the 2 week period up to the Superbowl.
I've seen Barry outrun people with one shoe on. Love Barry but wish he would have left our beloved Lions to get a ring. GOAT for sure. Thanks for all the great runs I was lucky enough to see in person.
Barry is the Goat at RBs . Think about it, he legitimately could have been the only 20k rusher. You give me 3 year RB Priest Holmes 5 year it's Derrick Henry 10 years its Barry. Barry had longevity and tore up the league
Bo Jackson said it best "Barry is my new idol. When I grow up, I want to be just like him.”"...Man what great dude Barry is and it comes across in this interview
Being from Wichita myself, this guy is huge in KS. IMO, best ever, but he'd never say it. Class act too. Anyone who played football in KS looked up to him and tried to take pieces from his game to apply to their own.
![Did Barry Sanders help HIRE Dan Campbell in Detroit? 👀 [FULL INTERVIEW] | Pat McAfee Show](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/ieLgEM0J2mM/mqdefault.jpg)
Not only the greatest running back, but the most humble, too. He did all his work between the snap and the whistle.
Absolutely, wow 15269 yards in 10 seasons, insane talent, so down to earth, humble ...5'8" 205...the best.
I was about to say the same thing
"I didn't get it done." Accountability, humbleness and truth. Qualities missing today in most sportspeople.
He was "being nice" to his Journeymen Teammates. How many other Guys "Didn't get it done" without 3 EXCELLENT Players on both sides of the Ball?
His team was just TRASH
No Barry you got it done. They sold you off as the Barry Sanders Show. There was no serious effort for the team to win a ring, if it happens it happens, and if it didn’t it didn’t. As long as your ass was selling tickets that’s all Ford wanted so you did got it done.

It’s weird to see a player who was so dynamic and exciting on the field, be such a low-key, mild mannered and genuinely humble dude off the field.
That’s why he da fuccin 🐐!!!
Seems like a guy who was the best at not taking hits lol he let the field talk for him

@@Ferrari-sw7nl Well put.
Barry Sanders is my ALL TIME favorite football player bar position. In my mind The GOAT.
Your mind is broke.
Did the most with less 👑💯
Its an interesting debate. Great player for sure.
Brady is the goat but in my opinion Barry Sanders is the best RB of all time.
Yup. Must watch TV and my favorite too

I’d be so nervous as Hell if I was hanging out with Him. I was that way with Brett Favre’s Brother!😂
@@boogitybear2283 He was cool. When did you hang out with Favre's brother?

Love his laughter. This man has no regrets.
My favorite football player. Imo the greatest RB. Humble and never celebrated a touchdown. He got the job done every game he played
He looks like a child in that couch. I'm 58 yrs old, By far the best RB I had the privilege to watch play. One of the classiest to play the game. When he scored, he always acted like he'd been there before and will be back for another.
He has the best balance of talent and humbleness of any pro athlete I’ve ever seen .
Barry Sanders was the greatest running back of all time. It's weird to realize that he's just 2 years older than I am but has been retired since 1998.
No he wasn't. He couldn't get short yardage, he couldn't pick up blitzes and he was a below average receiver. He is the most exciting RB maybe but greatest🤣

Here here!
I am dumbfounded/floored by how humble and down-to-earth Barry Sanders is. He is arguably the best RB and definitely one of the best RBs ever.
Humble, honest, I'd vote for Mr. Sanders if he rans for President.....We need someone who is honest, brave and not ashamed to be humble.
What a class act!!! One of the most humble legends ever to play the game..
This man is the goat for not only his freak of nature athletic ability but his showmanship off the field as well. Hats off to the legend, so humble
The greatest part about Barry, is even he cant really explain how he did the things he did. It was effortless, and fluid and it was amazing.
I was a videographer in Tulsa back in the 80s. The first OSU game I ever worked and the first time I ever saw Barry play he received a kickoff...and proceed to blow everyone off the field and score. He was amazing.
You should have told the Green Bay packers that story
Such a humble guy.... Best ever in my humble opinion. Good man all the way around.
Barry Sanders has to be the greatest, most humble athlete that has ever lived. Tebow might be as humble, but nowhere as great. Thank God for Barry being raised by a great set of parents and it shows.
Always a great interview with the greatest RB to ever play.
BS is one of the greatest athletes I have ever seen in my lifetime. What an humble, authentic man.
Greatest ever, never seen him this open, good to see
Barry is so nice. What a gentleman.
A true Football superstar and so humble. One of the greatest players in the history of the game. Imagine if he'd been the RB for the Redskins in 80s or Cowboys in 90s, how many super bowl rings?
I cant help but laugh when Barry laughs
"As a running back what more is there to do but score a touchdown".....classic humble statement...
Barry is so modest. Hes the greatest ever.
This guy is class. He's up there with Walter Payton.
I was a student at Oklahoma State when he and Thurman Thomas were in the same backfield. So much fun to watch
Should we all thank Jimmy Johnson for recruiting these cats!!!!
Classy HOF player. We could use more guys like Sanders in sports today!
It’s good to see him, I think this may be the first interview that I have seen him in since his playing days. This guy was an amazing back and one of the best ever!
He's been on during superbowl week for several years
@@jeffproctor2897 Thanks for letting me know. I didn’t know that. Maybe it’s in the contract with Rocket Mortgage.
"One of"? The best ever. Possible exception of Jim Brown.
Barry's just being humble (as usual). He was one of the best athletes in the NFL.
This is so cool to see Barry looking happy and healthy. Also, even though he was soft-spoken during his playing days, I knew he had that engaging persona in him somewhere. He's definitely someone that appears to be in a cool space, and I'm sure it's well deserved.
Barry sanders was the greatest running back ever. I watched him play and did so much. So much respect for Barry sanders. I wish he was able to get a super bowl ring.
The characters he possesses is unparalleled
Just a humble and grateful human being. Never ever will talk negative about another player.
Barry Sanders is my late husband favorite football player, my husband was born in Detroit. He loved Barry, watching him play games he was amazing!!
Barry is class act. What a legend, really glad I got to watch him play.
I love this man.. so humble yet the goat.
barry is so humble. this man was amazing!!
He is maybe my all-time favorite athlete. Imagine how much fun it would be to play in a golf ProAm with him.
Humble man. Very refreshing.
Barry Sanders is the reason I started watching football. Still my favourite player of all time. True GOAT 🐐!

I know a hall of famer but between never winning a super bowl and retiring early think Barry might be one of the more underrated players in the hall
Classy guy and one of the best RB in NFL history! He mentioned he didn't get the job done. No it was th Lions who didn't get the job done.
Good comment, Mark.
I love how modest he is.
Barry's the man! He's definitely a role model.
Raiders fan for decades but man when I use to see Barry play on that lions team specially with Scott Mitchell as there quarterback jezzzzzz he got me as a fan in that time
Same here RN4L ☠️🏈👍
Arguably the most humble unassuming superstar athlete we've seen maybe ever.

Wow. The humility of Barry Sanders. Current athletes could learn a lot from this man.
One of the classiest superstars of all-time
Love Barry Sanders, best running back ever.
Wow! Barry is still so humble and just a class act! When he talks about his dad, totally see that ! Love it

So humble. A good role models for todays player. But then again he did have a good strong father in the household. JS
I was never a Detroit Lions fan but I love to see this man Deion Sanders play every Sunday to me he is one of the great running backs I ever saw my three favorite running backs are Barry Sanders Walter Payton and Bo Jackson
When Barry Sanders talks,
I listen
He DOES remind me a bit of Joe Frazier. What a class act and perhaps the best running back ever. Walter Payton is my choice for all around half back.
My favorite RB of all time! Humble, gracious and left your jaw on the floor. We can wonder what could have been had there been a better O-Line and a commitment to building around him. Love that he retired on his own terms.
Barry the GOAT or one of the best ever running backs! HOF and humble!
What a humble guy...he was very loyal to the Lions...he would have had several rings with a strong team..
HUMBLE! That's why he is my favorite.
Have always admired him for going out on top and not being bothered with personal records, just performance.
The NFL needs more athletes with the intelligence, discipline, humility, and sense of humor like that of Barry Sanders.
He did his dancing between the #'s. Blessings to Mr. Sanders. Best to ever do it
I can not convey to anyone the feeling of pure joy and privilege that I felt living in Michigan and getting to cheer for Barry. Win, lose. I didn't care. I was a winner every time I got to see him play football. Thx Barry.
I hate to tell you this Mr. Sanders, but you are by far the best running back that ever played the game of football.

I love how content he is with his accomplishments and what he could have done
Cowboys fan who knows Barry Sanders was the best running back of all time.
Detroit fan here ....Barry Sanders, Nicholas Listrom, Steve Yzerman, AL Kaline and Joe Dumars were some of the greatest professionals in there sports and most of all greatest people in professionals sports....we were blessed to have them here
Never tire of watching his video.

Favorite player of all time. Legend.
As a Lions fan. Thank you Barry. You and Calvin are my fav Lions of all time. Both humble and never talked trash and no diva moments. Just respect
Miss watching him play, but enjoy hearing him talk. Great guy!
I've seen Barry outrun people with one shoe on. Love Barry but wish he would have left our beloved Lions to get a ring. GOAT for sure. Thanks for all the great runs I was lucky enough to see in person.

This man is incredibly likeable. What a pleasant dude. You would never think this guy was the best RB ever. So unassuming. He has such a cool aura.
go watch his induction speech to the HOF. Beautifully humble man
wondering if dan would like to be a guest on a show where all he was asked was who was better in his field
Probably the most physically gifted athlete to ever play the game…,
Barry is an example of a person to look up to.
Athletic version of the “Quiet Professional”. Maybe even rarer in today’s look at me world. Good to see a legend still doing well off the field.
Respect! So Humble, Mild Mannered...GOAT on the Field...
Barry learned So Much From backing up Thurman Thomas. An unsung Hall of Famer/Hero who Never gets His Fair Due
My all-time favorite sports player. Very humble man.
Best interview ever!
My favorite nfl player ever... I had pics of him at ok st jumping over the goaline cut out from sports illustrated.. and his humility is humbling
"jab step and if he goes I'll go the other way"
So simple.
in terms of what I watch football for Barry is the goat
Being from Wichita myself, this guy is huge in KS. IMO, best ever, but he'd never say it. Class act too. Anyone who played football in KS looked up to him and tried to take pieces from his game to apply to their own.
Love seeing Barry. #20
This is the most chill I've ever seen him.
