No Barry you got it done. They sold you off as the Barry Sanders Show. There was no serious effort for the team to win a ring, if it happens it happens, and if it didn’t it didn’t. As long as your ass was selling tickets that’s all Ford wanted so you did got it done.
@@chrisisslick yep, imagine him swapping spots with Emmitt on the cowboys and he would hold every record or if he would have ended up with Steve Young and the 49ers. If he had been on a winning team and in title contention he probably would have played 8 or 10 more years, losing is not fun.
@@nintendogamer5472 How many people would at least hint their team wasn't up to it? Incredible. I don't know many people anywhere who don't blame their family, their neighbourhood, job, school, something held them back. This guy has a no argument comparison like you just made, and you'll never hear it from him. Give it up for Barry, an athlete who is also a role model.
About 10 years ago, I spent an afternoon playing golf with Barry. After golfing he asked me to eat lunch with him and his family. He’s the coolest celebrity I’ve ever met. Super humble and just chill guy. No arrogance or ego at all.
Believe "us all" it comes across when he does media. As great as he was at the game. Barry would be a successful hit man, because he'd never have the need to tell everyone about his resume.
That sounds amazing. I absolutely love when famous people, especially greats from a sport, are as nice in person as we wish they were. I hung out with Dave Grohl for a few minutes in a lobby and he was exactly the same: humble, friendly, and just as engaged as I was.
@@bobbypinkston9374 he really was. Super nice guy and it was folks like LT, Joe Theismann, Andre Reed, and other super famous people and they were loving the attention, but Barry was just low key and didn’t court any attention,
Most of the old school athletes were/are that way. They were true professionals and didn't "market" themselves. They just let their game do the talking.
It’s not weird if you grew up in this era. This new social media generation is pure narcissism. Back then, people still had values and morals and were normal
Never a lions fan but Barry was my favorite. Seahawks are my team I live North of the border but took a ferry and drove for 2 hours to see Barry play, thanks for being so cool 😎
I was a videographer in Tulsa back in the 80s. The first OSU game I ever worked and the first time I ever saw Barry play he received a kickoff...and proceed to blow everyone off the field and score. He was amazing.
He looks like a child in that couch. I'm 58 yrs old, By far the best RB I had the privilege to watch play. One of the classiest to play the game. When he scored, he always acted like he'd been there before and will be back for another.
It’s good to see him, I think this may be the first interview that I have seen him in since his playing days. This guy was an amazing back and one of the best ever!
This is so cool to see Barry looking happy and healthy. Also, even though he was soft-spoken during his playing days, I knew he had that engaging persona in him somewhere. He's definitely someone that appears to be in a cool space, and I'm sure it's well deserved.
No he wasn't. He couldn't get short yardage, he couldn't pick up blitzes and he was a below average receiver. He is the most exciting RB maybe but greatest🤣
@@drexlspivey3047 dude averaged 99.8 yards per game. 10/10 pro bowls. 5 seasons of 1500 or more yards. Never rushed for less than 1100 yards. the only season he rushed for less than 1,300 yards was when he missed five games with a knee injury. Hes the best RB ever.
@@demarcdegasol Jim brown avg 105 yds per game. He played 118 games, never missed a start. 9/9 pro bowls, 9/9 All pro( 8 1st team), 3 MVPs, 8 Rushing titles. Case closed😜
@@trumpsflushingdocumentsaga2689 If Jim Brown was playing against them big defensive players in the 90s there’s no way he’s averaging 105yds over his career. Plus if Barry was playing against those clumsy cab drivers in the late 50 to early 60 he would probably average 150yds a game for his career.
@@viperguyz The only reason i wouldnt say Brown was the greatest was because Barry's dad always said he was and even called Barry the 3rd greatest RB ever, not sure who was #2? But i respect Barry too much to say anything bad about his dad but what he said about him at his Hall of Fame induction speech was even offensive to me and i better had just leave it at that. But as far Jim Brown goes he was playing in a time when defenses were generally much slower and less complex than today and players as fast and strong as Brown would simply abuse them. Just imagine what Barry would have done against those teams in the 60's and 70's,...oh wait i forgot that Brown retired in '65 after just about 8 seasons...and i thought he was supposed to be Mr. Reliability or something like that?
I love Barry, Not just because I was a Lions fan during his time(still am a Lions fan), but because he doesn't answer a question by avoiding the question, he answers the question. He was asked who is better you or Deion and he answered it. He didn't try to dance around it and give some answer like "I was good at this and he was good at that, so we were about equal." He said 'those are my only two choices' and he picked one. He does that, pretty much, with EVERY question. Love it.
A true Football superstar and so humble. One of the greatest players in the history of the game. Imagine if he'd been the RB for the Redskins in 80s or Cowboys in 90s, how many super bowl rings?
Barry sanders was the greatest running back ever. I watched him play and did so much. So much respect for Barry sanders. I wish he was able to get a super bowl ring.
I can not convey to anyone the feeling of pure joy and privilege that I felt living in Michigan and getting to cheer for Barry. Win, lose. I didn't care. I was a winner every time I got to see him play football. Thx Barry.
Barry is probably one of the nicest humans in the world. Got a chance to meet him in 1991. December, right before Xmas in Stillwater, OK. Very humble man. Does not think hes better than anybody. He is the best running back of all time. Period... Love that man.
Every single Michigan resident loves Barry Sanders, he was the most fun player to watch. The numbers he put up are amazing because we really didn’t have a passing game or a good O line. Barry just didn’t good down and he is by far the greatest RB ever
Barry Sanders has to be the greatest, most humble athlete that has ever lived. Tebow might be as humble, but nowhere as great. Thank God for Barry being raised by a great set of parents and it shows.
I was never a Detroit Lions fan but I love to see this man Deion Sanders play every Sunday to me he is one of the great running backs I ever saw my three favorite running backs are Barry Sanders Walter Payton and Bo Jackson
Detroit fan here ....Barry Sanders, Nicholas Listrom, Steve Yzerman, AL Kaline and Joe Dumars were some of the greatest professionals in there sports and most of all greatest people in professionals sports....we were blessed to have them here
My favorite RB of all time! Humble, gracious and left your jaw on the floor. We can wonder what could have been had there been a better O-Line and a commitment to building around him. Love that he retired on his own terms.
Loved watching him play and especially loved when he would score a TD...just handed the ball to the ref. He expected to score and when he ran, he made the pro's look like amateurs. The most exciting RB to ever play professional football, by far.
i was 11 in 1989 when barry came up and he was awesome to watch. i like him as a person more than a football player because he is humble and down to earth, i think barry was talking about Tim Harris as the big trash talker for greenbay back in the early 90's
if not for growing up in Chicago, Barry would be my favorite, I remember watching his 1988 season at OSU, he had multiple 300- yard games, over 2600 yards rushing...
Barry seems like the kind of guy who is reserved but once you get him out of his shell he's the funniest guy at the party. I love his interviews during the 2 week period up to the Superbowl.
Raiders fan for decades but man when I use to see Barry play on that lions team specially with Scott Mitchell as there quarterback jezzzzzz he got me as a fan in that time
I've seen Barry outrun people with one shoe on. Love Barry but wish he would have left our beloved Lions to get a ring. GOAT for sure. Thanks for all the great runs I was lucky enough to see in person.
Bo Jackson said it best "Barry is my new idol. When I grow up, I want to be just like him.”"...Man what great dude Barry is and it comes across in this interview
![Did Barry Sanders help HIRE Dan Campbell in Detroit? 👀 [FULL INTERVIEW] | Pat McAfee Show](/img/1.gif)
Not only the greatest running back, but the most humble, too. He did all his work between the snap and the whistle.
Absolutely, wow 15269 yards in 10 seasons, insane talent, so down to earth, humble ...5'8" 205...the best.
I was about to say the same thing
"I didn't get it done." Accountability, humbleness and truth. Qualities missing today in most sportspeople.
He was "being nice" to his Journeymen Teammates. How many other Guys "Didn't get it done" without 3 EXCELLENT Players on both sides of the Ball?
His team was just TRASH
No Barry you got it done. They sold you off as the Barry Sanders Show. There was no serious effort for the team to win a ring, if it happens it happens, and if it didn’t it didn’t. As long as your ass was selling tickets that’s all Ford wanted so you did got it done.

@@boogitybear2283 He was cool. When did you hang out with Favre's brother?

Barry Sanders is my ALL TIME favorite football player bar position. In my mind The GOAT.
Your mind is broke.
Did the most with less 👑💯
Its an interesting debate. Great player for sure.
Brady is the goat but in my opinion Barry Sanders is the best RB of all time.
Yup. Must watch TV and my favorite too
Love his laughter. This man has no regrets.
It’s weird to see a player who was so dynamic and exciting on the field, be such a low-key, mild mannered and genuinely humble dude off the field.
That’s why he da fuccin 🐐!!!
Seems like a guy who was the best at not taking hits lol he let the field talk for him
Most of the old school athletes were/are that way. They were true professionals and didn't "market" themselves. They just let their game do the talking.
It’s not weird if you grew up in this era. This new social media generation is pure narcissism. Back then, people still had values and morals and were normal
@@Ferrari-sw7nl Well put.
This man is the goat for not only his freak of nature athletic ability but his showmanship off the field as well. Hats off to the legend, so humble
My favorite football player. Imo the greatest RB. Humble and never celebrated a touchdown. He got the job done every game he played
Humble, honest, I'd vote for Mr. Sanders if he rans for President.....We need someone who is honest, brave and not ashamed to be humble.
I am dumbfounded/floored by how humble and down-to-earth Barry Sanders is. He is arguably the best RB and definitely one of the best RBs ever.
Never a lions fan but Barry was my favorite. Seahawks are my team I live North of the border but took a ferry and drove for 2 hours to see Barry play, thanks for being so cool 😎
Here here!
What a class act!!! One of the most humble legends ever to play the game..
Such a humble guy.... Best ever in my humble opinion. Good man all the way around.
Always a great interview with the greatest RB to ever play.
I was a videographer in Tulsa back in the 80s. The first OSU game I ever worked and the first time I ever saw Barry play he received a kickoff...and proceed to blow everyone off the field and score. He was amazing.
You should have told the Green Bay packers that story
Greatest ever, never seen him this open, good to see
He looks like a child in that couch. I'm 58 yrs old, By far the best RB I had the privilege to watch play. One of the classiest to play the game. When he scored, he always acted like he'd been there before and will be back for another.
He has the best balance of talent and humbleness of any pro athlete I’ve ever seen .
The greatest part about Barry, is even he cant really explain how he did the things he did. It was effortless, and fluid and it was amazing.
It’s good to see him, I think this may be the first interview that I have seen him in since his playing days. This guy was an amazing back and one of the best ever!
He's been on during superbowl week for several years
@@jeffproctor2897 Thanks for letting me know. I didn’t know that. Maybe it’s in the contract with Rocket Mortgage.
"One of"? The best ever. Possible exception of Jim Brown.
This is so cool to see Barry looking happy and healthy. Also, even though he was soft-spoken during his playing days, I knew he had that engaging persona in him somewhere. He's definitely someone that appears to be in a cool space, and I'm sure it's well deserved.
BS is one of the greatest athletes I have ever seen in my lifetime. What an humble, authentic man.
Barry Sanders is my late husband favorite football player, my husband was born in Detroit. He loved Barry, watching him play games he was amazing!!
Barry Sanders was the greatest running back of all time. It's weird to realize that he's just 2 years older than I am but has been retired since 1998.
No he wasn't. He couldn't get short yardage, he couldn't pick up blitzes and he was a below average receiver. He is the most exciting RB maybe but greatest🤣

Barry is class act. What a legend, really glad I got to watch him play.
Barry is so modest. Hes the greatest ever.
Just a humble and grateful human being. Never ever will talk negative about another player.
Barry Sanders is the reason I started watching football. Still my favourite player of all time. True GOAT 🐐!

Barry's just being humble (as usual). He was one of the best athletes in the NFL.
Barry sanders was the greatest running back ever. I watched him play and did so much. So much respect for Barry sanders. I wish he was able to get a super bowl ring.
I was a student at Oklahoma State when he and Thurman Thomas were in the same backfield. So much fun to watch
Should we all thank Jimmy Johnson for recruiting these cats!!!!
I cant help but laugh when Barry laughs
I can not convey to anyone the feeling of pure joy and privilege that I felt living in Michigan and getting to cheer for Barry. Win, lose. I didn't care. I was a winner every time I got to see him play football. Thx Barry.
Barry is so nice. What a gentleman.

Wow! Barry is still so humble and just a class act! When he talks about his dad, totally see that ! Love it
Barry's the man! He's definitely a role model.
As a Lions fan. Thank you Barry. You and Calvin are my fav Lions of all time. Both humble and never talked trash and no diva moments. Just respect
This guy is class. He's up there with Walter Payton.
Love Barry Sanders, best running back ever.
Detroit loves you barry a real class act you had us at the edge of our seats thanks for the years
He is maybe my all-time favorite athlete. Imagine how much fun it would be to play in a golf ProAm with him.
Every single Michigan resident loves Barry Sanders, he was the most fun player to watch. The numbers he put up are amazing because we really didn’t have a passing game or a good O line. Barry just didn’t good down and he is by far the greatest RB ever
"As a running back what more is there to do but score a touchdown".....classic humble statement...
I know a hall of famer but between never winning a super bowl and retiring early think Barry might be one of the more underrated players in the hall
Barry Sanders has to be the greatest, most humble athlete that has ever lived. Tebow might be as humble, but nowhere as great. Thank God for Barry being raised by a great set of parents and it shows.
One of the classiest superstars of all-time
Wow. The humility of Barry Sanders. Current athletes could learn a lot from this man.
I love how content he is with his accomplishments and what he could have done
Arguably the most humble unassuming superstar athlete we've seen maybe ever.

I listen

I hate to tell you this Mr. Sanders, but you are by far the best running back that ever played the game of football.
Best interview ever!
Miss watching him play, but enjoy hearing him talk. Great guy!
So humble. A good role models for todays player. But then again he did have a good strong father in the household. JS
Respect! So Humble, Mild Mannered...GOAT on the Field...
Classy guy and one of the best RB in NFL history! He mentioned he didn't get the job done. No it was th Lions who didn't get the job done.
Good comment, Mark.
He was so fun to watch. Every time he got the ball you waited for something you’ve never seen before. Bo was like that in football and baseball.
He did his dancing between the #'s. Blessings to Mr. Sanders. Best to ever do it
The NFL needs more athletes with the intelligence, discipline, humility, and sense of humor like that of Barry Sanders.
Love seeing Barry. #20
if not for growing up in Chicago, Barry would be my favorite, I remember watching his 1988 season at OSU, he had multiple 300- yard games, over 2600 yards rushing...

Same here RN4L ☠️🏈👍
My favorite football player of all time. I've never seen Barry laugh so much.
Cowboys fan who knows Barry Sanders was the best running back of all time.
I've seen Barry outrun people with one shoe on. Love Barry but wish he would have left our beloved Lions to get a ring. GOAT for sure. Thanks for all the great runs I was lucky enough to see in person.
Bo Jackson said it best "Barry is my new idol. When I grow up, I want to be just like him.”"...Man what great dude Barry is and it comes across in this interview
What a class act… love this guy!!
What a humble guy...he was very loyal to the Lions...he would have had several rings with a strong team..
He’s so likable
Love Barry!
What a humble guy! He never talked trash to anyone, he let his running speak for him!
This man is incredibly likeable. What a pleasant dude. You would never think this guy was the best RB ever. So unassuming. He has such a cool aura.
This is the most chill I've ever seen him.
My favorite nfl player ever... I had pics of him at ok st jumping over the goaline cut out from sports illustrated.. and his humility is humbling
Always been a good man!
The most honest man in sports history.
So humble, greatest running back ever, athletes of today should take notice, it was never about him
40 plus Lions fan ... Barry was such a great experience for a suffering fan base for 70 years...
