Barry Sanders Runs

[@keithhensley6203]

Doesn't matter who you think is the best, how can you not love Sanders. Humble, full of class, and just an absolute masterclass in vision and ability.

[@MrCoyotebob]

22 years and I still get the chills watching him run! GOAT!

[@jimarmstrong2630]

Never saw anything like him before he came along, and haven't seen anyone like him since. Every time he played you knew you were going to see something you had never seen before. Amazing.

[@donfeld3054]

I'm 63 and I've been a Packers fan since the 60's. Barry Sanders is the best running back I've ever seen. That includes the old films of Jim Brown I've watched. Barry is the GOAT.

[@cheesegyoza]

Barry has to be the only player on the field where the fans of both teams cheer at his incredible running.

[@miyukishijisha8540]

Even Favre gave him a pat on the back when he scored against GB.

I'm sitting here watching it with a grin on my face the whole video, none better. Great memories watching him play.

[@univac7677]

What a nice humble guy. Great talent; everyone knew it and he didn't go around self promoting. Refreshing.

[@MrDinFla1]

The only running back I've ever seen where you almost literally held your breath Every Time he touches the ball. Words just can't describe him

[@km3946]

You got to check out his footwork and see how he plants his feet and times it according to the body position of the other player and then takes advantage of them as soon as they become unbalanced. It's artwork worth studying. Makes u appreciate his jukes on an even deeper level

[@conniekramer915]

Never danced, never celebrated, just flipped the ball to the ref, and trotted off. A class act. One of the greats. I still brag on him.

[@Fister_of_Muppets]

Dude's a legend. His moves and footwork was just spooky good. Never seen a player since with that kind of natural talent.

[@lesant7659]

Indeed,he's a Class act. Best running back of all time.

[@buffv7]

Thurman Thomas was the same way. Must be an Oklahoma State thing.

[@tomdodds8091]

Well, he danced... while he was running and looking for that sliver of daylight. Never in the end zone though. Absolute class act.

[@tomdodds8091]

​@@buffv7Pretty much says it all when Barry Switzer told his defense "Whatever you do, don't hurt Thurman! You don't want to play against that freshman Sanders. Thurman will give us enough trouble. You'll never touch that Sanders kid".

[@Shadowdancer777]

There hasn't been a runningback like barry since. He is the greatest back of all time.

[@jon5104]

The best running back ever, i dont care what others say, what a treat to watch him run!

[@enthused7591]

I swear the dude could see reality in 1.5x motion. His ability to see and react was superhuman. His run against the cowboys where 9 of their 11 man defense piled up on top of eachother, 8 feet later, 1 linebacker fell to the left as he ran right, and meanwhile the last remaining lineman standing couldn't see where he went. Touchdown. The only time I've ever seen anything in the NFL that looked like that. Literally looked like an all-pro NFL running back playing against a division 3 high school team.

[@PInk77W1]

I like how he doesn’t celebrate after making a TD His running is the celebration

[@robertramirez5230]

I think thurman Thomas was also so humble

He “acts like he’s been there before’.

[@mobetta2092]

And to think we had Barry who is the best running back in the history of mankind and life itself, then Megatron who was an all-time top receiver and both left for the same reason..... incompetent management who couldn't construct a winning culture to compliment them.

[@rogercobbs4297]

the greatest without doubt

[@felixmadison5736]

Man, was he fun to watch!! What made Barry Sanders even more impressive is the fact that almost all 11 men on defense were keying on him! And only 5' 8" tall!

[@ginnerpig5928]

I miss Barry, such a joy to watch every time.

[@scninja07]

This was the way to see Barry, with no music, real speed, original announcers. So many other vids are in slo-mo, which don't show the true greatness. Thanks for putting this up. :)

[@enthused7591]

The one great thing about watching the play in slow mo (after watching it in real time) is that he looks to be able to react in real time, while we're watching it in slow mo, while everyone else is stuck in slow mo. In real time, I tell people all the time, it's like he could see what was about to happen before it happened.

[@RandyB199]

@@enthused7591 he was a master at it.

Im a Cowboy fan and I watched Emmit in his prime and Barry was just better. Greatest running back of all time and I dont think 2nd place is that close.

[@bobbyswain7049]

Wouldve loved to see him play 5 more years.....GOAT

[@tyronejames4187]

This is one of the best highlights of an NFL player I've ever seen. Perhaps the best. Wow!

[@cjordan024]

I still get chills everytime I hear Dick Enberg's "There he goes" 9:35. That was the run immediately following the 2-3 yard run he had to break 2000 yards. I remember earlier in the game, the crowd was so loud the refs had to stop the game multiple times, threatening to take time outs from the Lions if the crowd did not settle down. One of my favorite memories as a kid watching that game.

[@matthewsobkowski4319]

That was the loudest game I have ever been to see. 9:21 was a TD run earlier in that game and you can hear Dick Enberg just about come out of his chair after the move Barry put on that guy. Man was he fun to watch!

[@TheMichiganFisherman]

The crazy thing about that game was how poor his numbers were in the first half and how many yards he had to rip off in the second half to make it happen. He only ran for 20 yards in the first half and needed 111 in the second half just to hit 2,000.

[@Nkosinati]

Probably the best Running Back video i've ever seen on You Tube. Thank you for putting this one together with no music, no frills----just genius running. Forget the stats. Forget the records. Anyone who doubts that Barry is the GOAT RB in history should just meditate on this video a few times.

[@fan4life34]

Look up walter payton (the younger years 1975-1979) and( older years 80-87) now those were as impressive as the sanders runs!

[@dantheman5745]

2:55 The most scintillating 9-yard run in NFL history. Thing is, Barry also has the most amazing 30-yard run, the most amazing 5-yard run, the most amazing 12-yard run.... At 5:05, he's got the most spectacular 4-yard loss you'll ever see. That's why watching Barry was so great. Before each and every snap, you wondered what incredible thing he was about to do.

[@ivanblank3667]

Yeah, I really, really would love to see a highlight film of all of his non-touchdown, non-big gain monster runs that turned what should have been 4-yard losses into 4-yard gains. That highlight video would be hours long.

[@joeno-say5504]

LITERALLY the sentiments I just posted 😂

[@tomocallaghan1809]

Noticed that whenever Barry scores or has a great run, the other team does not cheap shot him at the end. They just seemed relieved the play is over lol. Much respect for a class act.

[@RandyB199]

I bet the last thing an opposing team wanted to do was piss him off, lol!

[@mottthehoople684]

The best description I've ever heard of Barry Sanders came from a linebacker whom said I Squared him up and he split in two

[@mlee7115]

I grew up watching Barry Sanders. Really no doubt in my mind who is the greatest ever at running back. This vid helps people see how special he was running.

[@elduderino3120]

@2.55 - the essence of Barry: his O-line disintegrates, he's having to cut & juke as soon as he's given the ball deep in the backfield with defenders flying through the air at him, and he makes a gain out of an impossible situation, while the crowd goes wild. They've just witnessed magic. None like him.

[@jaywalt8418]

Such a humble giant in a small package. We’ll nev see his kind again. No such thing as arm tackles with him. So amazing watching him live here as a kid! GOAT! Just wish we had a better team so he could’ve gotten a ring or two

[@skyjones918]

Jason Walton we will see it again

[@kmarasin]

He's coming. His name is David Montgomery, look him up. Does everything Sanders did except win footraces. Look for him to go high in next year's draft; people are calling the 2019 RB class one of the best ever, and he's widely seen as the best of the bunch.

[@dominicsosa7405]

Jason Walton great but i will always feel sweetness was a better back ..barry ran away

[@flintsvariety811]

My son told me that Barry wouldn't be able to all this in today's league... (My son no longer lives in my house, I put him out for his blasphemes tongue! Lol!)

[@skyjones918]

Flintsvariety i know he would because every time i see an older player playing in a game a decade into their career and they're doing the same shit it makes me realise thay he can...and their are rookies who played right after barry left who've had long careers and you cant tell me Barry wouldn't have been better rhen them lmao

[@pillowbugg]

Your son can get arrested for a tongue like that...

[@nolan6157]

He had such a unique running style that no one, even now, would be able to stop. Walter Payton, who was only 200 lbs yet was still a power back, wouldn’t survive today because players are much bigger now. 200 lb power backs don’t and won’t exist now and in the future.

[@jamest3552]

Nolan Payton could bench 500 lbs. and stop lineman in their tracks with his blocks.

[@nolan6157]

James T his bench was 390

[@ryanball2754]

This is the best Barry vid I have ever seen. Nice job. Barry was not the fastest player but he was by far the quickest to go from 0 to full speed I have ever seen, amazing.

[@johnboehmer6683]

Yup, as unbelievable as his acceleration was, he gets chased down from behind when he's in the clear so many times. He probably would have had another 10 touchdowns if he could have just stayed ahead.

[@toddmg]

He was extremely fast... EXCEPT when his short stride length became a disadvantage. Acceleration: blazing. Change of direction: blazing. 40 time: blazing. Jumping: insane (At 5’8” he could stand flat footed underneath a basketball hoop and dunk). His top gear though was merely above average. But for a running back it’s more about the three cone drill.

[@asthedaysofnoahliveright8565]

Yes, berry was awesome, but he was a much better man than he was a football player, and that is what is important.

[@MrAaronschannel]

[@cryingleftists2290]

He was friends with a doctor I knew kids. He would go over there and play table tennis every week. The doctor was a man that would give you the shirt off his back. He asked to take a picture with him and Barry said he would but that will be the last time he would see him. That was screwed up! He also decided to not work with the team during spring training. You can't do that to a team no matter who you are. That is one of the reasons the lions did not go far with Barry running.

[@Nkosinati]

That move he put on the great Reggie White at 6:12. Mmmh mmh mmh. He made Reggie fall to his knees and pray in the middle of a play...

[@timothywilliams1359]

Ha ha, yeah... a lot of defenders found religion when they had to face Sanders!

[@santinovaughn9336]

Barry Sanders was poetry in motion, if he was able to play for the Cowboys and run behind Newton and them other hofs and a passing game to open up the defense, he could have easily ran for at least 3000

[@willyounghans6052]

3000 yds easily... no disrespect to Emmit but Barry behind that line would have been illegal

[@DarrylAJones]

No matter how many times I watch these, he always amazes me! Barry and Sweetness: The Two Greatest of All Time!

[@Nkosinati]

We all know the breakout runs Barry is famous for: 1) The "spin the defender" against the Pats, 2) the 8-tackle breaker against the Bears, and 3) the "which way did he go" against the Cowboys... just to name a few. But what are Barry's best short yardage runs of all time? Here are my new top 3: 2:55 -against the Vikings. The "spin double step back" for about 10 yards. That's some cartoon sh*t. 7:03 -against the Browns. The "rotate reset" for about 25 yards. Mmmmhh. 4:09 -against the Redskins. The "spin collider" for 15. How do you use a spin move to make 2 defenders collide behind you? Come on man...

[@anthonystarke893]

Nkosinati 2:55 the announcer couldn't have said it better. Unbelievable.

[@GregzVR]

Yeah, a lot of his best runs weren’t even touchdowns. When you think some guys jump around after making a simple first down, this guy could’ve talked trash or done anything after any of his runs, and it would’ve been totally justified.

[@BLADEMACAPHEE]

[@soloone8158]

[@tommysawake4130]

I was blessed to be able to watch his entire career as he played for the LIONS.. went & watched him live at least once per season! Only player ever that you had to hold your breath every time he touched the ball. Didn't dare to leave the TV room for nothing if Detroit was on offense! These videos are great, but I feel sorry for people who never got to watch him play during his career. Every single time he touched the ball you just knew he could break one & take it to the house! # 20 - there'll never be another that even comes close!

[@michaelharris169]

There was nothing like the excitement of watching him run. You wanted the Lions to run the ball every play. At any moment, he was capable of doing something you’ve never seen before.

[@Darthpdogg]

Love watching him Gallup ...every third step in stride he pushes ...you can see his heart beat with the rhythm of his pace. GOAT.

[@grantwhite4201]

Fast, agile, powerful, but above all, humble. People always say "Look at the records, he doesn't have the most yards or TD's" yada yada yada... First of all, Emmitt Smith had to play nearly twice the number of seasons, and had the most stacked o-line to make that possible. Secondly, having your name on those records doesn't matter that much, it's how a player's individuality effects the game. MJ doesn't have the most points or best FG%, Gordie Howe doesn't have the most goals or points, etc. I think Barry's the best RB of all time because of his ability to make you stand up practically every time he touched the ball.

[@daniel-ym9un]

Yeah, Aikman and Michael Irvin sucked. 3 hall of famer's in those 3 players alone, yet you think Barry's team had a better offense?

[@joshuahendricks7701]

I don't THINK IT I KNOW IT!!! Go look up the 1995 season Homeboy!!! Dallas had a better TEAM!!! NOT A BETTER OFFENSE!!! Now go look up Brett Perriman and Herman Moore over the 1995 and 1996 seasons!!! 433 catches between the two of them over TWO YEARS!!! BEST RECEIVING TANDEM IN THE LEAGUE!!! Who said Michael Irvin and Troy Aikman sucked??? NOT ME!!! They're in the Hall BECAUSE THEY WON CHAMPIONSHIPS!!! Now tell me who had the best receivers in the league in 1995-1996. You don't know JACK!!!

[@RandyB199]

I am sure people that didn't even like football stopped to watch Barry play. I'm not a big basketball fan but I stopped to watch MJ play. Barry was top notch. It wasn't a matter of if but when he would break loose.

[@jayarr3075]

I absolutely love the fact that he carried the heart of Detroit, and the whole team knew it. After almost every run, all the lineman and other members of the team ran to help him up off the ground. I have never seen any other team do that for just one player. He was the best, even if Barry was too humble to own it, the team knew it and owned it for him by show of respect.

Will people please stop holding on this archaic notion that Jim Brown is the greatest RB of all-time? Because it isn't even close. Brown in Barry's era or today's era would have been good, maybe great, but it wouldn't have been nearly as dominant, because in Brown's day he was a 235lb back playing against defenders that didn't even weigh 200lbs. Barry on the other hand, would be dominant in any era. Period!

He really had it all : seemingly from first step acceleration at top speed , open field speed , amazing agility , strength , moves , toughness, etc. Really amazing is when his knee , even his whole body would be an inch from the ground and his strong arm and hand on the turf would push him back up to running at full speed again .

This is what people dont understand... they want 6'5 245 lb - measurables mean shit... This guy was a BEAST- pure muscle and center of gravity unstoppable, agility, hard runner, guy is the GOAT EVER RB- FK everyone else. Emmit is shit compared to Barry- Jim brown vouldnt hold barrys jock, Walter payton would have been crushed in todays nfl. Barry- guess what would still be breaking ankles

[@anthonystarke893]

2:55 How? Just how?

[@seandafny]

Anthony Starke that to me is the greatest run of all time. And i put some thought into that lol

[@seandafny]

If that would have gone for a touchdown, which it nearly did, i bet it would be shown for decades on ESPN.

[@johnboehmer6683]

Yup, I commented on that particular run also, the most overlooked, impossibly spectacular run of all time. Probably just does not get its props because it was only for 10 yards, but what a 10 yards!

[@seandafny]

John Boehmer exactly bro. People love to bring up how Barry had the most negative yards but this footage clearly shows why. Literally no one was blocked on that particular play and Barry managed to get a first down. any man who can get a first down without an O-Line is the GOAT. no question

[@willyounghans6052]

Best run EVER in the history of the NFL. Look at how many defenders are on him at once

[@chrisrobinson8339]

Barry was truly amazing.

[@Metallicru01]

Emmitt Smith with the DisLike

[@yomamascupoftea9459]

lmao

[@reintjiaguas8483]

Thank you for this. Brought me all the way back.

[@cheese11211]

2:55 holy shit

[@88Path88]

Yeah. Highlight reels are one thing, but a lot of people never got to see the incredible runs he made just to get 4 or 5 yards. Seriously, it was ridiculous sometimes.

[@static9061]

Gets the ball, jukes right , spins back left, back juke, accelerate into a sharp cut and finish with 2 jukes down the middle for 8 yards lol

[@mitchellkalina8191]

that run is just downright ridiculous, as soon as he gets the ball he's already making people miss. best feet EVER!!!

[@AARONANKRUM]

Still one of his best plays, the 2nd in this vid, where he turns the defensive back completely around. Too awesome.

[@demondparker6214]

The one thing I realize in watching The goat BS runs is in most of his runs there’s always a defender in position to make the tackle b4 Barry gos for 80 yards! That guy 99.8% of the never made the tackle! I’ve been watching Barry since he came in the league in 90! Same year as one of my favorite players Eric Metcalf, I haven’t seen anything like him since!

[@richardjohnson6]

Never thought I would see a better back than Jim Brown ,Barry Sanders is hi-lite reel every time he has the ball,most elusive,powerful,fast running back ever

[@carlosrodriguez550]

Born & raised in metro Detroit. My younger years I was a 49er fan. Mainly because of Montana and Roger Craig. But as Im in my 40's now, I never appreciated how much Barry Sanders meant to the sport. So very classy, humble and always had humility, hell, he still does. Videos don't lie, this man did things running backs nowadays just don't do. He didnt showboat, didn't talk to the media. None of that bullshit. He respects the game, scored, gave the ref the ball. And went on as if it's just honorable.

[@varnliche]

7:02 great run

[@nicholaskierstead5193]

Watch him cut. I've never seen anyone be able to cut like that. Never will again.

[@aidanaffeld8042]

Being from Detroit my dad got to meet Barry after his last game. My dad worked at chicken shack and after the last game in his career he went to the same chicken shack my dad worked at. Edit:Sometimes you gotta like your own comment to get the ball rolling. plz like

[@technomage6736]

Perfect compilation with original audio!

[@bochore572]

Best ever!!!!!

[@chacorive]

Greatest football player, awesome human being.

[@brmillgr]

He was so fun to watch. Can't really describe being there and watching him get the ball, edge of your seat every time he touched the ball, knew at any moment you could witness one of the most amazing runs the NFL would ever see.

[@davidbruin4381]

It's too bad that Berry never got a Super Bowl ring!
