First Time Watching "Barry Sanders" Most Ridiculous Plays of All-Time !

I'm 42 and Barry sanders was the best running back I've ever seen. His change of direction was crazy

Something you may not know when he scored he just gave the ball to the ref no showbaoting ever. A humble and respectful man.

There will never ever be another running back like Barry Sanders in the NFL. I feel so lucky to have seen him play!

Barry was and still to this day is the most gifted running back to play the game. The man was worth the ticket price alone.

Barry Sanders is an amazing athlete. It was an honor, and a privilege to watch one of the best running backs who ever stepped on the football field.

By far the most elusive, and complete running back of all time. He played with NO O line. And he also has something many athletes lack. Humbleness.

Barry Sanders best RB of all time! Always total class act! I grew up a Saints fan, but always wanted to catch the Detroit game just because of Barry. The man would hand the ball to the ref, go to the sidelines and start stretching for the next series. When he retired, it was a rough day for football fans!

Stats from his Heisman season in 1988: Sanders rushed for 2,628 yards, an average of 238.9 yards per game 37 rushing touchdowns He also added a punt return TD and a kickoff return TD to bring his regular season touchdown total to 39. He produced a record 3,250 all-purpose yards and averaged 8.3 yards per play He added another 222 rushing yards and five touchdowns against Wyoming in the bowl game, bringing his 12-game total to 2,850 rushing yards and 42 scores.

Barry Sanders still has the record of most broken ankles in a football career. He ran like every dude on the defense was carrying a knife.

The lions have the honor of forcing two top ten players all time at their Position retire early because the team was so bad

Barry Sanders is absolutely the best of all time! He was poetry in motion. Beautiful to watch. We will never see anyone like him again.

It's good to see young guys appreciate just how great Barry was. Greatest running back in NFL history. Period. He did make the playoffs though. Helped Detroit get their only playoff win in franchise history.

He is one of those great players that had the misfortune of not being on a great team. However, we all can recognize a champion and his greatness. He was the only reason to watch the Lions back then.

I’ve been watching ball for 50 years & Barry is still the most incredible RB pound for pound

Mr. Sanders was one of the very very few blessings those of us who watched Lions games could treasure. Too bad he didn’t have a team to help him out. He just couldn’t do it all by himself. ❤❤❤

Barry was the complete package. But the thing that stands out the most to me is how he set up his direction changes by where others were on the field in real time. Even if his blockers weren't blocking, simply by having them in the way of the tacklers always extended the play. He was a master at this.

His celebration for a TD is so classy. Just flip it to the ref every time

I've been a Cowboy fan since 1977...and as I watched Barry Sanders in awe back then, I said if he had OL like E. Smith did, he'd break all the records. Barry Sanders best/humblest running back in my book.

I swear at times this man made very small subtle movements that were simply perfect. Like the #1 run they showed. At one point he made about 5 movements in an area less than 3 square yards n dodged half the defense. Literal perfection, divine intervention even. Incredible.

In my opinion, Barry Sanders was the very best at changing direction, making defenders miss, bouncinging off defenders while keeping his balance, and then racing past them with his speed. He was the greatest combination of speed, power, agility, creativity, and vision of any running back in the history of the game. He was artistry in motion. Whenever he touched the ball, whether I was at the game or watching it in my living room, I would rise to my feet because I knew he was going to do something special. Something we had never seen before. He was simply the best.
