It is a tough choice as to which attribute to be most impressed by, his unparalleled athletic ability or his unpretentious humility. This man was a rare breed as a college and pro player.
My dawg averaged 295.4 all purpose yards PER GAME, his Heisman season. There were college teams who didn't average 295 yards per game, as an OFFENSE, that year.
Barry switzer was the head coach at Oklahoma in the 80's. His team was about to play Oklahoma state. Thurman Thomas was the starting running back. Coach switzer warned his team that if Thurman Thomas gets hurt, dont get comfortable at all. Oklahoma state had a back up named Barry Sanders who is more dangerous than Thurman.
Coach Switzer had the incomparable Marcus Dupree from Philadelphia, Mississippi and didn’t treat Dupree like the legendary running back he was becoming.
@Lord Cregan Stark Man I miss that era of Football, Barry Sanders on Thanksgiving every year was must see T.V, even If the lions had a 2-7 record coming into the Game.
@Lord Cregan Stark This era football has done away with the FullBack altogether Utilizes running back by committee And has Linebackers the Size of Safeties .
I played for the University of Colorado during this time. It's strange, but we didn't even know what we were witnessing. It was like having a light too bright shine in your eyes, and you just couldn't understand what you were seeing.
THANK YOU! Well done, well done!! Hard to get all that footage, tie it together, keep the talk out of it. I loved the theme, but my love waned a little after three minutes, and by the end I was nearly humming the refrain, to my agony. You did a great job and with a subject like Barry we can all still, after all these years, appreciate competence, playfulness, and the amusing trait of handing the ball to the ump.
The head of the class of great college football running backs who won the Heisman Trophy. Barry Sanders was just unbelievable to watch running the football.
Honored to have watched his ncaa AND pro career play out in real time. The man went out in top of his game, with all his faculties, seeing more of a vision than chasing records. And still he is recognized as unstoppable!
I doubt we ever see a running back as great as Barry Sanders again. Nobody will even come close to touching what he did his last season at Oklahoma State. Did Barry Sanders ever once get hit hard? Barry had a supernatural ability to know where everyone on the field was and the ability to avoid them.
Mr.Tim I agree. Steve McMichael from Chicago Bears summer it up. Trying to tackle Barry Sanders was like trying to catch a fly. You think you got him but when you open your hand he is not there.
Only way it wouldn't happen is because of him taking himself out of blowouts, because Barry Sanders. Could have had as many 2k seasons as all other RBs combined if he had Emmitt's line.
Barry Sanders' college record does not include playoffs because bowl games were not counted towards season totals when he set the record in 1988. The NCAA has not retroactively added bowl stats for past players. In 1988, Barry Sanders rushed for 2,628 yards in 11 games for Oklahoma State. This earned him the Heisman Trophy and All-America honors. In the 1988 Holiday Bowl, Sanders ran for 222 yards and scored five touchdowns in three quarters. However, this game did not count towards his season or career totals. The NCAA did not include bowl stats in record keeping until 2002. INSANE
I remember how disappointed I was when he retired. I just didn’t understand why. I get it now. To bad he couldn’t have played for a team that he didn’t have to carry. I also didn’t appreciate his class and humility back then and I do now.
When I was a young boy I never heard of B Sanders, or mr B as my friends called him, I was learning to climb in caves and squeeze Those bugs with the tails that sting you, no praying mantis but the other ones not to mention Mr B wasn’t born yet so I’m not sure what my friends knew him on it?

The best back I've ever seen!
The best back, EVER
Best natural runner over the ball ever. I’d rather have Payton but this dude as far a rushing skills is the best…. ever!
No doubt
Huge pecker too
Easily the greatest....there is a wide gap with this position.
My dawg averaged 295.4 all purpose yards PER GAME, his Heisman season.

Flat out insane. And beautiful.
That is unimaginable even for video game numbers. That is madden on rookie level numbers
The Greatest

@@claudiatucker5145 Absolutely...
Though not as great as Barry, Thurman Thomas was no slouch..
Had a great career. Very versatile Back.

Utilizes running back by committee
And has Linebackers the Size of Safeties .

Cool. What position did you play?
Great comment!
Did you see those numbers at the end!? That's just unheard of man wow!
Still records to this day. Video game numbers.

Barry Sanders Was The Greatest Ever To Play NCAAF And NFL - LT Was The Greatest Ever On Defense.
Tom Brady 🐐

A true legend in college and in the nfl 🏈
Barry Sanders, Enough said.
The head of the class of great college football running backs who won the Heisman Trophy. Barry Sanders was just unbelievable to watch running the football.

It was his gravity & speed that made him the best
Big time speed & low
BEAST!!!
The Greatest!
Once again let me say-
If he played behind the Cowboys offensive line like Emmitt he would've averaged 2500 per season.
Mr.Tim I agree. Steve McMichael from Chicago Bears summer it up. Trying to tackle Barry Sanders was like trying to catch a fly. You think you got him but when you open your hand he is not there.

Thurman Thomas would've killed it too
The best pure running back.
In the NFL his career in Detroit he was great
Berry is MR. consistent, he running didn't change from college to NFL. Making people miss like WTF had him right here
Barry should thank Mike Grundy for not being able to throw a spiral as to why he had 250 carries that year.

Wyoming Defense; “where’s number 21?”
Barry Sanders; “HERE I AM.”
Opposing team’s head coach: “Just tackle the guy, will you.”

OJ Simpson

Barry sanders had more moves than ex-lax🤣🤣
Imagine if he would had played in the spread offense scheme 😮
What’s the song in the video I remember beat but I can’t name the song?
The song is “Keep It Real” by Milkbone
Monster
Shook one's instrumental nice touch
The song is actually “Keep It Real” by Milkbone. That’s the instrumental
The only way to stop ✋ Barry sanders was to put 22 men on defense and then you still might have a chance of stopping him!
🐐🐐🐐
Those holiday bowl stats were 3 quarters
Wow!!!
The Greatest ever!
Very dope compilation, but Barry quit too early.
Hes a human jackrabbit

Hey elder Sanders your son was Better than Jim Brown!
He knew!
I know that's right!!
Still confused how he didnt break his own ankles at times. They were flexible, I guess.

Oklahoma had a better offensive line then Detroit did
on a college field he did not look as small as he did on an NFL field, or maybe i'm just tripn

SMH ... Could've been a Miami Dolphin 🐬
Second greatest Running Back behind Jim Brown.
The math just don't add up 2 all time leading rusher could have been #1 played for a not talent team putting Barry behind sounds silly to me
Barry Sanders only played 10 years #2 all time rushing to this day Emmitt smith played 15 years years become #1
I misspoke Barry is now #4 all time Frank Gore has pass Barry sanders now smith Payton Gore Sanders
That's my opinion.
If Jim Brown played against the size and speed of the defensive players that Barry did, maybe
