Barry Sanders Top 50 Most Ridiculous Plays of All-Time | NFL Highlights

[@skinsman82000]

Barry Sanders did more with less than any running back in NFL history. In my opinion, the best ever.

[@mattgmoney69thegoat69]

Barry was the sickest combination of speed and agility. His ability to plant, juke, change direction and then accelerate is something I’ve never seen from any other player. On top of that, he was strong as hell. The guy broke tackles as much as he avoided them. And all while being probably the classiest player the league has ever had. True legend.

[@logicaldude3611]

He was so strong that tacklers would just slide off of him. The power he had in his lower body was unreal. He gets attention for his agility and all that, but he'd slip tackles from people all the time like they weren't even there.

[@aerochattychick1397]

Accurate comments throughout.

[@jarvellwilson6721]

[@mspionage1743]

The only other player I saw with a similar run style, albeit to a lesser extent of course was Eric Metcalf who rarely gets much attention. But even though Metcalf had very similar moves and running style he was no Barry as Barry was just a level beyond anything else by far. Outside of those two guys though I have never seen another runner be able to do all those things consistently.

Barry Sanders is hands down the greatest running back to ever play in the NFL. His burst off the line of scrimmage was insane,then his ability to make cuts once he reached the second level of the defense was quick and decisive.

As a Lions fan born in 97, I never had the chance to see Barry play. I finally decided to educate myself since I realized I had never really sat down and watched film on him. The way he hit holes (if there was one) and accelerated blows my mind. And that’s just the beginning. Watching the NFL today I realize Barry is timeless and would be the best back in any era. Best of all time.

[@kinginanorth]

@@1TotalJabroni - much respect to both guys mentioned AP and LT who were absolutely great but I believe he is referring to running style. I find it funny how people always try to say Shady runs like Barry. It was just something about Barry's low center of gravity and quickness that can't be duplicated. Defenders always talked about how powerful he ran. Not in the sense of running you over but having to try to tackle someone so short, compact and quick was so hard when you are 6ft 2" 250 pounds. AP was a tall runner and very strong with speed which made him a nightmare but Barry was just on a different level.

The Best description of trying to tackle Barry Sanders - "Hello, Goodbye, Where are you?" Love that!!

[@gthompson4707]

There is no question that Barry Sanders is the all time best running back to ever play the game. A running back with no offensive line to block for him, and the amount of yards that he accumulated over his career is unheard of. Emmitt Smith is the all-time leading rusher in the NFL., with 18,355 yards playing 15 years in the NFL. Barry Sanders has 15,269 all-time career yards with only 10 NFL seasons. Emmitt Smith had a monster offensive line to block for him. So you play five more seasons than Barry Sanders and only beat him by 3,086 yards. Barry Sanders could have had that in the next two seasons that's why I consider him the best running back to ever play the game.

[@tomconstance2391]

He had some good offensive lines, too. Tackle Lomas Brown (3X All-Pro) and Center Kevin Glover (4X All-Pro) were stars. Mike Utley and Eric Andolsek were strong guards. Regrettably one was paralyzed and the other killed by a truck in his front year. Others like Bill Fralic passed through.

[@tomconstance2391]

Watching the Lions, rooting and cheering for the Lions, was an exercise in frustration if not self-flagellation. In all those years, and I'm talking 40 plus years, there was only one redeeming fact about the Detroit Lions, and that was Barry Sanders. He was the greatest that ever carried a football, he made you forget about the score of the game or the won-loss record, none of that mattered when Barry went off on one of those crazy runs. And to top it off, he was a class act, a real gentleman. You can say that the Lions didn't deserve him, but the Lions fans did, and he was greatly appreciated for bringing a little sunshine to an otherwise dark place.

@@mojoschmee9320 I was only referring to most of these highlights, where much of the time very little is done by anyone but him. I wouldn't say the teams around him were atrocious, but I would also argue they were not planned very well and averaged out to mediocre.

[@coppulor6500]

he got some pretty good blocks on some of those runs but, yeah, he wasn't on a great team. He'd be scary behind the Hogs or 90's Dallas O-lines.

@@mojoschmee9320 There is no way on earth you watched Barry play. You sound like someone who just looked up some accolades and made broad assumptions, based off of them, that would fool the average commenter who didn't actually see Barry play. Barry is the reason they went to the playoffs in the first place. Words can't describe how difficult it is for a RB to get the Lions to the playoffs that many times.

My favorite RB of all time!! I love how they culminated it, with John Madden (RIP). Barry had the worst O line, yet carried the Lions on his back.
