[@AmirKhan-yv8jm]

[@benapodacs7363]

The players back then and now !! Would have Had a he'll of time with him' he brought me some happiness to watch him run.😮😮😊

[@lainiwakura4678]

That run at 0:40 is just one of the sickest things I've ever seen on a football field.

[@dascientiss]

That cut he did @ 0:45 was too nice

[@sargondp69]

Among the great, Sayers is the most underrated. Perhaps the best runner the ever play.

[@torrebrannon8180]

Sayers is the GOAT in my book..

[@conradyo9274]

Yeah he really is because he was a kick returner, punt returner, and running back. Best offensive threat ever.

[@DanielSong39]

GOAT rookie season!

RIP legend

[@corneliussqualls1544]

You want to know how great Gale Sayers was? Gale Sayers is the only back that i've ever seen who i thought could score a touchdown every time he touched the ball! And that's something i never felt with any other back!

[@olympicjeff6504]

Grew up outside of Chicago , 8 years old and wore #40. How blessed to have My First Hero to be. GAYLE SAYERS. THE BEST ⭐💯⚡

[@pablopabon588]

The best two running backs in my view are Gale Sayers and Jim Brown.

[@RobertSmith-hz9sm]

Walter Payton and Barry would like to have a word… but for me Jim brown is in fact the best running back to play the game, the other 3 are in no order 2 3 4 all time tbh

[@christopherbost5387]

The man ran on a wet field with more fluidity than Barry Sanders did in a some... and Barry's running was magic! So, what does that make Gale's, Godliness?

[@christopherbost5387]

Dome. Sorry.

[@samuelblackwell3762]

Rest in power legend

[@collinwilson4223]

Had surgery been advanced when he had his knee injury In 1068 he may have played 10 years easy the most exciting runner I've ever seen he did it all.in a short time like jimi hendrix

[@mikeyoungblood1642]

If you combined the skills of Barry Sanders & Devin Hester, you’d get Gale Sayers! RIP Kansas Comet!

Sayers was one of those once in a generation talent of a running back.

[@E-Brightvoid]

No rookie in the NFL had ever had 22 TD’s at ANY position.

[@user619tlsdca5]

What Gale Sayers did to the NFL was he exposed the open field of Defensive players s range of tackling. I dont know any other player or RB before Sayers played in NFL that had his talent. Before he came the NFL was strictly a scrimmage line range of most tackles. Its why Sayers stood out so much of his skills especially his SPEED when he went to NFL and it was obvious the DEFENSIVE PLAYERS had no skills in the open field and forced all defensive coaches to change the way they trained the defensive players by practice or cuts of players that wouldnt be skilled enough of Sayers CHANGING THE GAME IN THE 60S...

[@carlweaver3243]

Before they moved the Hash Marks.

[@user619tlsdca5]

@@carlweaver3243 All I know, every ti,e I watch his films,,,, lol,, they all just falling down from running as fast as they can but couldnt control their own effort to tackle him.. Lol,, I mean, they just falling,lol...

[@mikeyoungblood1642]

Imagine if a rookie RB scored 6 TDs in a game in 2020!?! It would be top page news for a week!

[@weakestlink20]

I just wanted to point out that this video has Paul Linford's The Mann from the Need for Speed Most Wanted 2005 original soundtrack playing in it, and that's awesome.

[@lessmith6848]

I know it sucks to play the "What if" game but imagine the stats Mr. Sayers could have had without his knee injury and a 16 game season like to day. Also imagine Chicago going from Gale Sayers to Walter Payton with little to no break between them.

[@SCORPIONSCOME1st]

His vision and speed were so Ahmad of its time The way he runs away from the packers herb adderly and he's a corner back say a lot

[@trennedyblair836]

Rest In Peace Gale Sayers

[@DrePants44]

Untacklable

[@marcoslaureano5562]

Imagine if Devin Hester, on TOP of his return talents, had been the best running back in football - that's what Gale Sayers was like.

[@chrishamilton5181]

Bring it on home, to Sallie Lee!!

[@eltondennie6114]

Jim brown gayle sayers best running backs ever.

[@elvis316]

depends on the show, he also says Payton the greatest when asked. He's humble.

[@collinwilson4223]

Had gale not been hurt I saw that game and cut the photo and artical from the paper my heart sank. Better surgery look out this was 1968.

[@johnscritchfield5736]

Sayers is number 1

[@CareyBolam]

How the hell is this not #1?

[@yourontheair]

great

[@ldfreitas9437]

Lots of backfield talent for the Bears in 1965. Ronnie Bull at FB and Gale Sayers at HB were the starters most games, but the backups included Jon Arnett and Joe Marconi. Passing wise there was Mike Ditka and Johnny Morris, catching what Rudy Bukich threw, along with Bill Wade playing from the bench from time to time. Yet the Bears started out badly that year, only to play catch up the rest of it, falling short of the Colts and Packers.

[@kevinbrooks1104]

I disrespectfully object , here's why TD ,Tony Dorsett , won the Heisman trophy NCAA national Championship, NFL Rookie of the year, The Superbowl championship In a single year can name any other player that did that. I know respectfully that Gale didn't

[@Master.Sensei]

He may have had a better career than Walter Payton if it weren't for his unfortunate knee injuries.

[@SpiritualMix]

whats his 40 time

[@brianandrewleahy1]

According to him he said it was around 4.7 which isn't all that impressive. I think his "game speed" was probably faster. What was unique and freakish about his running was that he could make lightning fast cuts and lose hardly any speed at all. He wasn't "start and stop" like say Barry Sanders. He was just so fluid and smooth. He rarely back pedals and seems to almost always be moving forward with his cuts. His career yards per carry is 5.0 which is only slightly behind Jim Brown who comes in at 5.2 yards per carry. His field vision and instincts amount to a kind of football genius i think. :)

[@nickvoulgaris]

12 regular game seasons vs 16 now. Best vision ever.

[@oldschoolruler]

His brother Roger was even faster. Ran track at Omaha University (UN-O) and was the ONLY sprinter to beat 'Bullet' Bob Hayes when he held the title 'Fastest Man Alive'.
