How is Curtis Martin better than Eric Dickerson???? Who did this list
Someone who didn't see Dickerson play.
Martin was definitely amazing. Dickerson was a force of nature. To be that big and that fast and agile is just scary.
Right tu
Barry is not better then sweetness
How is Earl Campbell #10? Earl dominated the field like no other except perhaps Jim Brown n Gayle Sayers.
If I were a coach and had to pick just one back coming out of college, then it would be Walter Payton, no question. He ran, he caught the ball, he blocked, and he was a great teammate - a great team player. In fact, Walter *LOVED TO BLOCK* . And *TOUGH* , missing just 1 game due to injury in 13 seasons. Are you kidding me? What more can you do? In the words of teammate Steve McMichael, "Walter wasn't a running back, *HE WAS A FOOTBALL PLAYER* ."
Jim Brown? No! Why? He wasn't a great teammate, and he was an inconsistent blocker. He blocked when he felt like it. Great player, yes, but he frustrated coach Paul Brown so much, that Brown at one point considered trading him. Paul Brown wrote that in his book.
Walter did everything. A coach's dream!
Amen
I would take Marshall faulk.
Marshall was the most complete running back that I ever saw. He did have one of the few 1000/1000 seasons. The greatest show on turf was Marshall faulk.
All around Payton was the best. Purely running the football in was Barry sanders. The things he did haven’t been done ever. Payton was a stronger runner and greet teammate. It’s really hard to say. I felt like Erick Dickerson was a top 5 guy.
Gale Sayers and Tony Dorsett should be on this list.
Wayne Rembert I agree
Gale Sayers was a good running back but he wasn't in the league that long. Gaye played only seven years most time he out because of knee injuries.Tony Dorsett Definitely should on the list
Dorsett was just amazing to watch.
For sure!
Old guy here...the first four years of Sayers was ballet, levitation and magic. There are those who Earnest Hemingway referred to as "perfect in his game". For a half-back, he was the first to draw comparisons with Jim Brown, not for style but as a force of nature.
Curtis Martin ahead of Campbell, Simpson, Peterson, and Dickerson? What Jets fan made this video?
Bill G 5th on all time rushing list bro
@@alexcannillo4377 frank gore is #4 and may finish #3. what's your point?
Curtis Martin made this video, friends talked him down from #1 spot
For REAL I don’t even know who that running back is?
Ap..
Where is Bo Jackson, Gale Sayers and Tony Dorsett
Bo Jackson did not play many nfl games because he played baseball
Bo jackson played for 4 seasons, gale didnt have good stats, and tony just wasnt as good
You high as fuck
I know right
Gator G.O.A.T Because his career was cut short due to a injury. If he hadn’t got injured, top 5 RB all time easy
Walter Payton tough tough guy! I would be tempted to take him ahead of all the other running backs. I know I’m getting 100% every Sunday!
I liked "Sweetness" because he said football was a lot of fun. He knocked 3 defenders out of the way on that last touchdown and he looked ready for another game.
I'm an older fella, and a Browns fan, and while part of me feels like it is blasphemous to even think anyone other than Jim Brown is the greatest running back, I have to go with Barry Sanders. Watching him was always surreal - he looked like a video game come to life, doing things that seemed impossible. Oh, and Curtis Martin was a fine back, but he is ridiculously high on this list.
Is not a even closed Barry Sanders is the GOAT. This is one argument in football no one should have.
@@vecumex9466 I've seen both of these two back splay. And I watched Jim Brown play when I was growing up. Unless you are older than 50, no way. Jim Brown is the greatest. He had speed, size and power. Plus, he played fewer games, and retired in his prime like Sanders.
@@vecumex9466 they took Barry out of the game on short yardage and goal line plays because he couldn’t run with power or between the tackles. He couldn’t block to save his life. Walter Payton is the goat. Did everything. Most complete player ever. Barry literally did nothing better than Walter
@@vecumex9466 A good big back is better to have than a good little back. Barry was a great little back. Jim Brown had more speed and power than Barry and was a very big back and a very fast one too.
@@georgesingleton3425 I'm up there in age too, and I guess you weren't paying attention, Barry could've put the rushing record way out of reach if he hadn't retired, and all of that without a great O-line. He wasn't as big as Brown, but his legs were just as powerful, that's why he escaped so much from tackles. Sanders is the GOAT as most people say, even professionals.
bruh bo Jackson is the best player of all time and he’s not even the top 10 running backs?
LOLOLO!!!
Payton had so much heart.
sweetness.
@@mjt11860 Walter's biggest flaw was he didn't have that break away speed..If he did, he would easily be no. 1#
And he shared it every woman he could cheat with. Terrible husband and father.
@@stevebrown7608 don't they all cheat?
No way martin is ahead of Dickerson faulk Peterson or Campbell
As the biggest barry sanders fan alive today. I'll agree with this. But in my heart, I think Payton should be 1 and Barry 2.
No list can be complete with so many good backs throughout the years, but there's only room for ten.
Jim Brown number one. He had no equals.
John Best at lacrosse? Yes. He was good, but many other backs were better
@@ausewanee Why do idiots feel the need to address me?
John Best Well not being, an idiot, I wouldn’t know. Don’t want replies to comments? Don’t write comments. Otherwise, accept that your opinion isn’t above disagreement.
@@ausewanee You're probably a young kid who never saw him play.
John Best Well, I have a television machine....so I am aware of his playing history visually. Ever see Bo Jackson play in person? If I was 70, but had never physically been in a stadium with him, would that be more or less valid than a 40 year old who had seen a lot of tape? Did you go to a lot of games Jim Brown played in? Nevermind, I don’t care.
Just like it said Walter Payton was the most complete player in the history of the game!! RIP sweetness
Another extremely complete player was deion Sanders. That guy pretty much did everything.
I'd say Payton and Marcus Allen were the 2 best all around backs.
@@paysonfox88 Deon wasn't a running back. Great player but didn't have the frame to Carrie the ball 25 times a game
Larry Csonka toughest rb ever this guy use to chase defenders if there weren't there to him he made sure he hit you He's also the player on offense to get roughing penalty from stiffarming a defensive player in the head
Jim Brown 3rd? Come on, man.
There's your 735 thumbs down.
No Gale Sayers? Make that 830 thumbs down.
ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO MAKE A LIST THAT MAKES ANY SENCE!!
I agree with him being 3rd.
To be honest it seems like Brown, Sanders, and Payton are kind of interchangeable as top 3. Personally I'd go
3. Brown
2. Payton
1. Sanders
But every list is a little different and every comment moves them around. It's basically opinion at this point.
Hey brother, I like your list. I know it was very hard to make. Gayle Sayers should have been on there & maybe John Riggins. I agree though Barry was the best. I think Marshall & LT should have been a little lower & Earl and Eric should have been a little higher, but you did a great job.
JOSEPH C. LEWIS
LT is the second best of all time. Stats don’t lie.
I’m not a LIONS fan but Barry Sanders was the BEST with the team he played on! Had he been on many other teams he would have much better overall stats! He was also a very humble person! Truly a classy guy in a sport of arrogant assholes!
Sanders - then daylight . Best.footwork.ever.
Jim Brown #3? Hahahahahahahahahahaha
I also put Sanders and Payton 1 & 2. I say Sanders is the greatest pure runner to ever live... Payton is the best player to every play the position of running back because he did it all. Either way grateful to have seen them play the game. And unlike so many today they both did it right in every way. 100% class at all times.
LaDainian Tomlinson is definitely top 5 no debate
I got Walter 1. Yea he did it all and that's why he's the best RB. Barry was great but he wasn't running thru people like Walter. He was Gale and Jim put together.
Barry was the best I ever saw... I often wonder how many more yards he would have run for if he was behind that Dallas offensive line
@@chipcarter5971 Dallas O-line opened MAC TRUCK HOLES
I like Barry, but when I think of RB, I don't think of a shaking and baking type of runner! I prefer guys like Walter and Brown types! I got Barry behind those two @ 3rd all-time and that's no dis, I enjoyed Barrys' game! Respect!
if he was on that team, AND he didn't retire early he would have over 25000 yards
With Dallas O line, Barry would score on every play.
@@EJJones-yr1jr well, probably not EVERY play just 98 percent of them
I've always put Sanders and Payton as my top two.. I'm not sure one was any better than the other but they got their yardage with mostly bad teams with exception of 85 Bears.

Walter Payton is the GOAT. He was a better all-purpose running back than anyone in history. He could run, pass, and block. He’s still the Chicago Bears’ all-time leader in receptions. On top of that, he actually played quarterback in one game.
Whoever made this video should go to the Joe Vincent editing school.
No best Running Back in NFL History listing can be complete without the great Tony Dorsett of the Dallas Cowboys!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bro OJ was a stone cold killer on and off the field bruh way too low
Lol
❤ o.j Simpson, too
Killer in a literal way or figurative way??
Ah no Gale Sayers or Bo Jackson. Smdh or Tony Dorsett
Barry sanders is not a quiter. It's knowing when to step away That's what makes u great. If he kept playing he would eclipse both walter payton and emmit smith by 5000 yards. I'm just saying
If he would have played on a team that wanted to win and got some lineman and a deep threat he would have had those yards.
Jim Brown not number 1 is absolutely criminal, the numbers he put up were crazy, he was like a Madden franchise career
I had the pleasure of meeting both Earl Campbell and Walter Payton during their playing days. Very polite and humble gentlemen (off the field).
1. W. Payton
2. B. Sanders
3. J. Brown
These 3 in a class all by themselves.
But this list should include:
Dickerson,
Dorsett, &
J. Bettis ( i.e., all of 'em better RBs than Curtis Martin).
Simpson is the best.
Sanders 1
W payton 2
E.cambell 3
Where tf is bo jackson
1. Jim Brown, 2. Walter Payton, 3. Barry Sanders, 4. Emmitt Smith, 5. Eric Dickerson, 6. O.J. Simpson, 7. LaDanlian Tomlinson, 8. Marcus Allen, 9. Marshall Faulk, 10. Earl Campbell
That is a good pick but here is mine.
Jim Brown because he set the standard
B.Sanders
Walter Payton
OJ Simpson
Dickerson
Tony Dorsett
This list is more accurate than the NFL one, they put Barry Sanders at number #8
No way that's ridiculous he's literally the best back ever
That’s is stupid for me Barry Sanders would be 2 i also think Earl Campbell should be higher on this list
@@drakethesnake3984 whos first?
@@sourpatch4209 Walter Payton
@@drakethesnake3984 i would like what your on
Imagine if Barry had a line like emmitt,he would of broke records,that man literally earned and fought for every single yard
BARRY WAS A GET OUT OF MY WAY TYPE RUNNER A BETTER LINE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO IMPROVMENT
If Payton had Barry’s offense, he would have dominated in a way to put this discussion out of reach. If he had Emmitt’s… it would be criminal the way Payton would have assaulted defenses
I feel like Barry would not have fit as well in Dallas. That run and shoot in Detroit was perfect for his style. I think he would have got more yards than Emmit, but the cowboys were a better team with Emmit too. He was better at moving the chains than Barry, he was a MUCH better pass blocker, and he was more of a gamer. Emmit played better when things got tough, while Barry tended to choke a bit.
@big catfish You're kidding, right? Although he had incredible tackle-breaking abilities, Sanders was one of the most elusive runners the league had ever seen, which also equates to why he had more rushes for negative yards than any of the other greats.
It can't be measured, and one can only imagine what his career would have been like if he had more talent around him. During Barry's whole career, Detroit was never considered a team with a great offensive line or a dangerous passing attack.
@jhvuv n ik65s2 good points overall, but I'd never say Barry choked.
Emmitt was a better blocker and the Dallas offense definitely utilized him more effectively as a dual threat out of the backfield than what Detroit did with Barry, but Sanders never played with an entire host of HOF caliber players @ QB, TE, WR, FB, and the OL simultaneously like Emmitt did.
I suspect that Barry would have led nearly every statistical running back category career-wise, in addition to multiple championships and a longer career span. I guess we'll never know though.
No disrespect intended towards Emmitt, however.....he was one of the best players to ever lace them up.
Barry and Walter an exceptional mix of speed of cheeta, agility of a mangosse and the fullpower of rhino.
Walter yes. Barry didn't have no power of a rhino tho lol tf. Adrian Peterson sure. Barry was just graceful, quick, and elusive
Condor Gaming earl and AP were both like rhinos 😭😭 but BARRY the most quickest running back of all time nobody could stop him one and one
Where's is the Nigerian nightmare
Walter was more physical
I'm Bo Jacksons biggest fan but going by his stats theres no way should he be on this list like so many ppl say. 4 yrs with a total of just under 3k yards. Yeah I know he played 2 sports but that's the way it is but if you went by would of, could of, should of, yeah Bo would of been #1 on any list
Where is the Kansas Comet, Gale Sayers. The best !!
Barry's the best..And I'm a big Walter Payton fan..
My friend likes Walter and won't admit barry is better
Barry was a great flag football running back. He went down if a defender was even close. Couldn't carry Emmitt's jock.
Ur not a Walter fan ur just saying that so people will agree with u barry is barley just barley better then walter probs not even
@@michaelklatte92 so you admit it to you said it best they are both legends but Barry's better
@@sourpatch4209 but if u look at there rushing stats Walter is better and he has more tds
When Barry retired, I stopped watching football.
Your loss
Nobody cares lol
Same. Detroit was never the same without him
Eric Dunn if u don’t care than u would of Scrolled right past this comment stupid ass
Lastima que le tocó jugar en un ekipo perdedor
Barry Sanders was an amazing player to watch. I'm a Steeler fan, but I'd catch Lions games when Sanders was active. Just a great , no nonsense running back that played football like no other! 🏈🍻🏈
yeah, Detroit Lions,says it all.
1# Emmitt
2#barry
3# a tie between ap and Campbell
Susie Leatch Go vacuum a rug or cook some dinner. Your opinion is null.
@@ryanmcneila1957 this mans doesn't have sweetness top 3
How do you leave out Gale Sayers and Tony Dorsett??
Lthal Gale Sayers was also from the movie Brian’s Song
@@gcvhappy4026 so what are you trying to say?
They go by yard's
DORSETT ITS THE KING
Gale had bad stats, tony wasnt as good
Jim Brown and Walter Payton both either One or Two. Both great Running backs
No they are properly placed, you could shift them between 2 or 3 but Barry has a solid hold of number 1.
"SWEETNESS"
Barry #1
@PlayerIdentity yeah you obviously must have not watched must of Barry's film then. Hell right off the top did the 7 Bears that got to take him down? How about the Cowboys playoff run did they bring him down. I watched all of Barry's games and he was not an easy out. Was he a bull dozed he no but then there was that IF you catch him...
#20 Sanders 🐐🐐🐐
Barry Sanders was Unstoppable full to say the least who's a great great player the darn shame that he didn't never win a championship ring
Played for a bad organization. Had very little help, teams were geared up specifically to stop him when they played Detroit, but still couldn't stop him
Jim Brown # 1, without question....
However, any list of the best running
backs in NFL history, that doesn’t
include Gale Sayers, is not anywhere
near accurate or believable......
Brown is not better than Barry buddy
you got that right!!!
O.j Simpson cut up defenses when he was in his prime
Then his ex-wife after his prime.....
I'm a Payton dude, but that NFL films score at the 0:27 mark is incredible. When Campbell turns the corner on the Cowboys, it sounds like someone moving with authority, just Campbell's run. AWESOME!
Where's Marcus Allen Bo Jackson Franco Harris and all the other great I got better top 10. Just my opinion
Woah at the age of 29 and a very knowledgeable sports fan and someone who played football from the age of 12 until I was 21 I’ve never heard of Marcus Allen before
Jordan Love if you are not joking then you have missed out
Tony Dorset !!!!!
Enrique Garcia You are so right , he was the best "home run hitter " of his era & he wasn't even in his prime when he went for 99 . Watch the highlights !
Lol
On this list TD.....maybe 11....bc Marcus Allen is not on here along with a couple others. This is a great list of RBs
TD ran north and south. And will take to the house on any play
Heshould be no. 9
So many great backs to grace the NFL, but in regards to just running... I have Barry Sanders at the top, Jim Brown at 2nd, and Walter Payton at 3!
No Gale Sayers. or Tony Dorsett?
Where’s bo Jackson
Sherrese Johnson he didn’t play as long in the NFL meaning less of an impact on the game
Right?
That’s what I’m sayin
Sherrese Johnson he left the chat
Bo Jackson was a Great athlete but he was injury prone come on man I can name fifty running backs better
They have Emmitt Smith at 4th?? A running backs main job is to run the football. He has the most rushing yards in NFL history. He should be #1 on this list....and btw, he was a good blocker and very effective when he was used as a receiver.
What are you talking about he is #1 nobody will catch him Zeke won't come close to passing him I know.
Emmitt is the best for ever an ever nobody will pass him for a long time.
@@sexysexy36 they got the top 4 right on this list.
it's your list and I cannot nor will not seek to change your mind...…………...that being said, any list of the top 10 that does not include Gale Sayers is, at best, suspect and isn't to be taken at face value
1. Payton 2. Brown 3. Sanders 4. Smith 5. Faulk 6. Dickerson 7. Tomlinson 8. Sayers 9. Simpson 10. Campbell
Sweetness is literally the goat
Tom Brady
Player 69 he inflates the balls
Peyton Manning
Emmitt is better
Mikey P nah Barry
Brown deserves no. 1
Your all on drugs. Barry sanders was the greatest running back of all time. Period.
Walter Payton was better
Barry didn’t have the yards or TDs mostly because the lions were shit but also in the 1970s the bears were shit and Walter was still incredible
jim brown dude
Mr. PAYTON the best ever!
(In relation to my previous comment), I want to see a top ten list of, top 10 RB's in their prime. I think one of the most crucial aspects of the list of, "Top 10 RB's in NFL history" is longevity and producing amazing things year after year for a career. Even Barry, who retired way too soon, played 10 seasons.
#1 Emmitt Smith
#2 Jim Brown
#3 Walter Peyton
#4 Barry Sanders
#5 Eric Dickerson
#6 LaDainian Tomlinson
#7 O.J. Simpson
#8 Adrian Peterson
#9 Earl Campbell
10. Tony Dorsett
Barry is #1 no debating that. If Sanders played as long as Emmitt did, Emmitt wouldn't have any NFL Records
Sergio Gomez if my aunt had balls she’d be my uncle
No way i take ANY of those backs over Earl Campbell. Maybe Jim Brown. The videos don't lie.
You got one player in the wrong place
Jim brown isn’t suppose to be #3
He’s supposed to be #1
How tf was emmet #4 and tony Dorset not even on the list 🧐🤣
Tony wasnt as good
Bro emit #1 because he had the most rushing yards ever
@@domp9185 idk if he is number 1 but he is top 3
Yes Barry Sanders is the greatest Running back of all time.If Barry was running behind Dallas's or San Francisco's offensive lines in the 1990's Barry would've won four Super bowls and probably had 24000 career yards with 200 touchdowns.Why is Adrian Peterson and Eric Dickerson not ranked better.
If Payton had Barry’s offense, he would have dominated in a way to put this discussion out of reach. If he had Emmitt’s… it would be criminal the way Payton would have assaulted defenses
Adrian's and Brown's and Sander's yards per average seem to set them apart from the rest.
Problem is… yards per carry really don’t tell us anything. Did a back get 5yds per carry as in 5 yards every carry… or 50 yards on 1 play and nine 0 yards runs? One way is great for highlight videos (and a bunch of punts)… the other way gets you a first down every 2 downs, marches you down the field and ends in a score.
Barry Sanders no doubt the best to me. He was so fast he use to loose the cameraman and Emmit Smith was the last of the oldschool runners.
If he played longer bo Jackson
No
Walter should’ve been 1
Jim Brown is not only the best running back ever he very well may be the best player ever in NFL history.

Maximilien Robspierre dude never got through a full season... most overrated player ever
Jim Brown-By far the best,in just 9-seasons.And remember he was playing in 12-game seasons,not 16-So that’s 4-games per season,so he basically missed two full season at four extra games per season,so add at least minimum(1,000-1,200)yards if not more.
Makes sense to me! His first 4 seasons were 12 game seasons. His final 5 seasons were 14 games.
I saw Jim berry Earl walter and Dickerson play ln that order. The five greatest runners.

I don't know if anyone remembers Tony Dorsett. Best running back I have ever seen play football.
Emmitt Smith should be number 1
Edward Harper Jr. that’s a joke
Stupid
OJ at #10??? He’s #3. Nobody did more with less and they knew where the ball was going. His teams were horrendous.
1. Walter Payton
2. Jim Brown
3. OJ Simpson
I have to agree completely - even though I might switch Brown and OJ. OJ still had accomplishments that no one can match. That he was on awful teams for his entire career as the only weapon they had makes him even more remarkable.
You got it right Barry Sanders was the most electrifying football player ever period.
Never seen so many defenders miss tackles so badly
Adrian Petersen, made me forget Barry sander
Where is BO JACKSON. He was the most dominant player in his time in NFL’s and baseball
Thank you
Where's the 'Nigerian nightmare' Christian Okoye,,guy moved back once after a safety hit him hard cause he was always moving forward in a streamlined position,,just awesome to watch
Too many others ahead of him.
1st Barry Sanders 2nd Jim brown 3rd Walter Payton this is my opinion
Barry was incredible, every sunday was special. IMO, I would have Jim Brown # 2 and Payton # 3 and I agree Barry is the best running back we have ever seen. 10 straight years of masterpieces, even coming off an injury, he would do it over and over again and hardly ever fumbled. He was defensive players nightmare. I think the craziest statistic is he has the most negative yards in history just trying to find room to run behind that bad offensive line and this guy still ended up with 5 yards a carry for his career, now that is Insane!! Definitely #1
I like his list.🤣👌
Barry Sanders was the best of all time and he plays today he will still be the best
Emmitt Smith and Barry Sanders are my favorites.
Who has the all time rushing yards in history? Emmit Smith should be #1
Bro it took him like 100 years to do that... Barry sanders could of beatin him in 11 years. Emmit really wasn't that great. Probably# 5 or 6..
Bo Jackson is the best running back ever!! If not for injury it would not even be a question. Smith was good but if not on that team would not have the numbers he had. Sanders, Peterson and sweetness both rank above Smith.
IF...IF...IF.............IF's dont win SuperBowls
Surprisingly Emitt smith got more touchdown's than both Randy moss & Terrell Owens!?!?
Steven Bohmfalk :
Emmitt Smith also had a front line that opened holes a 747 could roll through as well. That was 90% of how he got his yards.
Going through this whole video thinking "If Barry Sanders isn't in the top 5....."
I was thinking the same actually as number one because I have never seen so many defenders tackling air when he played
Payton Sayers Brown Dickerson Campbell Smith Sanders Faulk Thomas oJ
Where the hell is bo Jackson
Nicholas Mcdermid he played 4 years MADDEN fanboy
Bo is better then oj
Nicholas Mcdermid lol why would Bo Jackson be on the list of greatest running backs ever when he played 4 seasons of about 9-10 games each? Do you realize how many running backs throughout history had better four year stretches than Bo did from 1987-90?
Bo was an absolute physical freak. Him playing as well as he did after spending all that time playing baseball and having to adjust to football shows how amazing of an athlete he was. But he belongs nowhere near a list of greatest running backs ever. Nobody was saying he was the best RB his rookie year, or better than Dickerson or Craig in 88’, or Sanders or Thomas in 89-90.
It was more like “Bo is the most freakish athlete ever”
No tops the list of COULD HAVE BEEN!! Marcus Dupree number 2
He didnt play long enough
No Thurman Thomas. No Tony Dorsett. No Franco Harris.
Yeah where is Franko Harris. The list is just a little flawed.
OJ Simpson is being totally disrespected he killed it on and off the field
