For the people wondering why there's so much footage of Red Grange when television didn't exist, in those days, when you went to the movies, you got a cartoon, some short subjects, and a newsreel in addition to the feature film. Because Grange was so popular, lots of film of him was shot for those newsreels.

That's a myth. He had a 4-5 time Pro Bowl Tackle named Lomas Brown who did a great job for him. And had Herman Moore at WR. Barry didn't have a great line, but to say he had nothing is a lie. It's overrating Barry.

It was also easier for Barry to run with the Lions’ run and shoot. Lots of 5-6 man boxes and big seams to run through on the outside. He got into the open field faster than most backs because there was more open field. That wouldn’t have happened in the scenario where he played for the Cowboys, lining up in the I-formation and facing 7-8 in the box all the time.

@Chris Paul I can't speak on Walter's career before Ditka, I need to research it. I know he was the 1977 MVP and I know that 1983 onward, he had a magnificent offensive line. They drafted Jimbo Covert the HOF All-Decades Tackle, Mark Bortz, Tom Thayer, and they got Willie Gault whose speed at wide receiver definitely help draw defensive backs into coverage and keep them from crowding the box where Walter would run. So we can't say that Walter did it all alone either. I'll look in to his earlier rosters.

Barry had over 1,000 yards for loss and the majority of those runs were special. From the right of the field to the left while 10 more yards from scrimmage. Always hear "what if he had a better offensive line" but as a Lions fan I'd rather have a great coach. Barry wanted to win and played his ass off. We had the talent. Joe Washington was fun to watch with his cut jersey sleeves. He was Faulk before Faulk. Prime Time was a great elusive runner too. Great pass defender. Not a tackler. His returns for interceptions, kickoffs, and punts are incredible.

Great runners are tough, have exceptional balance, speed, and an intuitive ability to recognize momentum, and to cut against it. As Gayle Sayers said, I knew where I was going, and they didn't. Cutting against moment means you use your opponent's momentum, at the last instant, against him, because he has physically no way in that instant to reverse, or even substantially react, to your cut. You see it again and again in the great elusive runners, and watch Devin Hester return kicks. It is a master course in physics on the gridiron.

Funny, they mention Joe Washington was “vertically challenged”, at 5’9. Then, stated how people “..thought he was too small, to make it in pro football.” THEN..:come the 80s, people realized short guys were GOOD, bc the Opposing D’s can’t SEE them behind the line. These HBs hit the line, before anyone knows they’re even THERE. Ever since the 70s, there’s been NUMEROUS sub-6’ HBs…and GREAT ones, too. Marshall Faulk, who was somewhat the second-coming of Barry Sanders (also shorter than 6’). They were only 5’10 & 5’8 respectively. Two of the all-time GREATS. Ladanian Tomlinson - 5’10, Emmitt Smith - 5’9, Thurman Thomas - 5’10, Walter Payton - 5’10, even the brute Jamal Lewis was 5’11, Warrick Dunn - 5’9, and then many have been or are right at 6’0. (I was surprised to see my Bengals’ Joe Mixon is actually 6’1. I think that may be inflated, though. Because he doesn’t LOOK over 6’, to ME. Lol!) We’re all of these all-time GREATS? No. I won’t even say so myself. But, many ARE, & those that AREN’T were STILL high-level impact players (Thurman Thomas being an example here). Amazing how the game changes. Granted, there have ALSO been MANY above 6’. I am just making the statement that many HAVE been under 6’…and a couple WAY below that mark. That’s all.

As a lifelong Bears fan, Sayers and Payton were untouchable. That is, until Barry came along. He’s like a Sayers-Payton hybrid. He used to just murder the Bears.

I imagine trying to tackle Barry Sanders will be like trying to grab jello with a gloves on that are covered with KY-Jelly. I got to see him play against the Buffalo Bills in the early 90s. He made some of the baddest defensive men in the NFL of that time look like they were ice skating, without any ice skates.😅😅😅

Some people don’t realize how dominant Barry Sanders would have been had he gone to a competent franchise like the Mike Shanahan Broncos, early 90’s Cowboys, or any other franchise that knew the importance of having a good offensive line. If Barry Sanders was the Broncos’ RB in 1998 instead of Terrell Davis, with that offensive line, zone blocking scheme he would have rushed for 2400 yards+ in a single season. People have a misconception that Barry Sanders wouldn’t hit the hole, and a good defense could shut him down. The reality is he accomplished everything with a below average-mediocre offensive line and a nonexistent passing game. Just watch his highlights from Oklahoma State where he had a decent offensive line. 2800 yds in a single season.

if you replaced Emmitt Smith with Barry Sanders the Cowboys win idk maybe 5-6 titles... undefeated one year sounds realistic with Deion... Troy winning playoff games with 15 pass attempts... the number of times Barry would get to the second level untouched would have been one juke and second level if he aint tripped then its just him and the safeties ... Barry behind Larry Allen pulling into the gap is frightening ... as a Broncos fan if you put him behind the OLine's OG Shanahan was rocking to those back to back titles in the mile high City that would have been incredible but the timeline doesnt add up obviously for Barry having been retired for a couple but prime B Sanders... my goodness... Elway plays longer... Put Barry on the 49ers now and he's somehwere in his 30's... they'd have a chip or two if not more in the Shanahan Jr era. Barry Sanders is the RB GOAT IMO

Who didn't see Barry as #1? He gained all of those yards, when the defenses were keyed on him. In a game with 40 offensive plays, you expected Barry to touch it at least 30 times. So did the NFL defenses.
