This man left his opponents in slow-motion 😳.
Yes, Barry was one of the greatest but there's been so many great RBs...Toney Dorsett, Emmitt Smith, Jim Brown, Larry Csonka, OJ Simpson, Earl CaMPBELL, Marcus Allen, Eric Dickerson....too many to list.
@@JuneBaby01 I'll check these guys out eventually.
I would love to see you compare different players form different sports. please keep it so genuine. enjoyed the video
@@markotto2742 Give me an example.
@@GoddyGE what ever local sports you fallow. Just explaining why someone is interesting to watch. I think people from the States would enjoy hearing your opinions on local sports to your area. Please keep reviewing foreign spots. It is cool to get an outsiders point of view.
Barry Sanders played in the 90s. Nobody has had a running style like him since. He was special.
Not only was Barry fast, he had great balance and foot work. A rare trifecta for a running back.
Hands down the best running back of all time! He would have all the records if he didn’t retire early.
Wow
One of the best. Hands down the best? No
Bo
....and one of the CLASSIEST.
Sanders signature TD celebration: hand or toss ball to closest official
@@fidge54 Who was better ? Sanders played on the worst team in league history
Barry Sanders was 5'8", which is "short" in the NFL. This gave him a very low center of gravity. He also had incredible leg strength and balance. Put all of that together with a very strong will to never quit and he was my favorite player of all time. You mention his speed, but his speed wasn't really where he excelled. He ran about a 4.38 40 yard dash, which most years is not enough to even be in the top 10. What really separated him was his ability to make HARD cuts or cuts at high speed and then accelerate very fast. He could make a cut, then be up to his top speed incredibly quickly.
Put that together with his humility, and he's a very rare man. He never celebrated or taunted. He just went out and worked his ass off for his team. He was stuck on a team that almost always surrounded him with average talent and opponents entire goal was always just to "stop Barry", and they still could not. He would go sometimes half a game with limited yards gained, but he never gave up and never quit trying his hardest. He never even looked frustrated. Eventually, he would always make one of those highlight plays. Not only was he one of my favorite players to watch, he's the one I respect the most as a person.
Greatest NFL RB of all times!!
Barry was a short guy for the game so he had a low center of gravity. He also ran with a wide base, meaning his legs were spread apart wide which made him hard to tackle. Also, it made it easier for him to stop and change direction faster than most. He wasn't the fastest, but he was slippery and knew how to take advantage of angles on the field. Also, he never suffered a major injury. Barry was as you said "Sturdy{.
Let's put it this way! Barry Sanders was the type of player that you wish was on your team instead of any other! He was a legend without seeking the recognition like others do! He was on a typically bad Detroit Lions team while carrying them offensively! It's too bad that for the most part they didn't do him right like they should have! He might have won a Super Bowl or two!!!
Also look up running back, Bo Jackson. Two sport star, who played baseball and football professionally, and the only athlete to ever be in an all star game, in pro sports. Amazing athlete. 😁
Your reaction to his greatest play was all of our reactions when that happened live lol. Simply an unreal play
What makes this video even more amazing is what you don’t notice. A lot of the people trying to tackle him are pro bowl and Hall of Fame players!
Bo Jackson and Barry Sanders, the top 2 RB tandem I would take on my fantasy team, every day of the week, twice on Sundays. Unstoppable. Both had incredible vision and were able to turn their bodies perfectly, changing direction on a sixpence, and it was that ability with the quickness and speed that made them exceptional. Bo had the power, whereas Barry had the elusiveness. Great combination in any backfield. Those first 2 -3 yards after they had the ball, were crucial in making the play a break away run or not. They both had the ability to make a play in a very small window of opportunity.
Not the fastest guy...but he had enough speed. He was short, had thighs like tree trunks...which gave him a very low center of gravity. That made him hard to tackle. All that combined with great vision, and quick feet, made him a fantastic running back. The best of all time? I wouldn't argue with that.
Best thing to ever step on the field. Had he gotten traded to a team with a decent throwing game. It would have been unfair.
@@victorfranca85 or if Detroit could have built a team for him. They just needed to be average for Barry to do the rest and couldn't even do that. I think the thing that sets Barry apart is his vision, he could find that tiny seam and burst through for a massive gain. That coupled with his incredible ability and burst make him the GOAT
yes he was the fastest guy. most acceleration out of anyone who has played combined w/his change of direction! don't tell me he didn't have speed dude... you don't get that many breakaway TDs w/o top speed. he might not have been the fastest in the league, but if you can't catch him, it doesn't matter b/c you only have to be faster to certain spots on certain plays. It's not track 'n field.
The shortest distance between two points is a straight line.
Barry: YES…. and no.
Told ya. He is the freakiest athlete because the way he moved was not humanly possible.
It's like, "ok defenders. We handed the ball to a live rabbit. Go catch it. Oh yeah, and he's a 190lb rabbit too."
My favorite Back of a time. He never had an elite O-line. Imagine if he had.
Yeah Barry was about 5 foot 9 inches tall. He is the greatest running back of all time
Elite speed was not even what Barry Sanders was most known for. He had field vision, incredible footwork and off-the-charts elusiveness. Barry Sanders was a human video game cheat code.
Barry Sanders read always a blast to watch
He was short but thats a very important feature for a running back. Shorter guys are harder to see behind those big linemen and they are a bit tougher to tackle being lower to the ground and having a bit more balance.
I enjoyed your reaction to a Legend of the sport of American Football. I have been a fan for over 50 years and Barry is the best I have ever seen. He was much watch tv back in the day and struck fear in the hearts of the most skilled defensive players...especially in space! I wish you continued success with your channel.
Thank you
In my opinion he is the greatest running back of all time. He played on a bad team his entire career where he was the only real threat on offense. Defenses knew he was going to get the ball a lot and they still couldn't stop him. If he hadn't retired early he would probably hold every rushing record. I think he is in a very elite class of NFL player, among the greatest at any position of all time too. You won't find a player with a more exciting top 50 plays list than Barry Sanders
He is the most amazing player I have seen.
No one ever consistently ran like he did. Personally I think he’s the best back ever. I can understand arguments for a few other running backs, but no doubt he was the most entertaining and it’s not even close
And a very humble man.
The run against the stacked playoffs cowboys team is really a #1 run. That stop and go move caught everyone by surprise.
Barry is the GOAT imo. The saying at the time was that Barry could lose a defender in a phone booth. Later, everyone started using that phrase. Then even later, there's no phone booths anymore, lol.
Lol
Barry ran a 4.3 40 yard dash which was good NFL speed but we wasn’t the fastest. He had great vision and balance but what made him seem faster is that he could start and stop and then get back to full speed immediately.
What up, Goddy! Saw this video yesterday, and thought I'd add my thoughts to the pile of already great thoughts on here. Barry Sanders is the very reason that I'm a Lions fan to this very day. Been a Lions fan since his rookie season in 1989. I know that you'll hear much about his lack of offensive lines and such, so I'll assume those things have already been laid out in some detail. What I'd like to add, as someone that greatly misses that hold-your-breath excitement before every snap, is that he accomplished all this greatness with EVERY team planning to ONLY stop HIM. Every head coach and defensive coordinator gameplanned and practiced in ways to stop Barry Sanders in a way that didn't apply to any other Great at the time. For example, Emmit Smith (his contemporary rival) didn't just have a Hall of Fame offensive line, they also had HOF wide receivers (Michael Irvin), quarterback (Troy Aikman), tight ends (bigger, stronger receivers that line up at the end of the offensive line normally), and a HOF defense.
The Lions had a great receiver in Herman Moore, certainly, but the terrible offensive line and quarterbacks made him a neutral factor often times. Opposing teams literally ran defensive drills specifically designed to stop Barry Sanders, and yet--he still is the best Running Back of all time. And as someone that grew up watching him, I see videos like this (which I love) and instantly think of so many other runs that ought to be on here. So I would suggest watching all the videos about him because there will be other great moments left out of this video. And no one could make gaining one yard, or losing a few, more fun and exciting--because even in those losses, he ALMOST broke out. The Joseph Vincent video on Barry is also a great watch to get a sense of his career. Barry changed the sense of agility and is the reason that players today run the way they do. Much like Deon Sanders (no relation) did on the defensive side.
It's also worth noting that the rules back then actually favored the defense, which is why things were typically running based. Also, if you go back and watch this video again, so many of the tackles that brought him now have been illegal for almost twenty years. So long that even Americans don't remember horse collar tackles (dragging down by grabbing the back of the pads by the neck). Many players started having their legs snap from that horse collar tackle. Much like the NBA, it's so much easier to be a finesse player now that the rules favor the offense. Being a finesse player in the 90's was special when everything was so much more physical. And for a bit of real fan info, it was well known in the 90's that Barry's father NEVER considered his son as the greatest running back. He always told his son that he's not better than Jim Brown (a good historical reference for a reaction). And Barry was always known to be incredibly humble. He never celebrated, always respectful to refs, and would literally pass out water and gatorade to players when he was on the sideline.
Sorry so long, my friend. It just hasn't been the same since he left.
Thanks for the info. Yeah, I've already been informed that he had Terrible teams compared to his contemporary Emmit Smith. With that fact, I personally regard him as the greatest RB ever, without ever watching a full game lol.
The man was touched by the football Gods. He is an anomaly. He defies any attempt to describe just how incredible he was. I would say you have to watch him to believe his talent but if you watch him he just becomes completely unbelievable. He is the greatest running back ever!!! The only reason Smith ever passed his record is because Barry retired so early in his career. Quiet. Soft spoken. Incredibly humble. Purely integral. The NFL could do with a lot more players of his caliber these days.
When I'm familiar with the NFL, I'll probably start checking out comparison videos in the future.
Like Barry Sanders vs Emmit Smith.
@@GoddyGE You should check out two other amazing running backs. Terrell Davis who played with the Denver Broncos and Marshawn Lynch who played for the Seattle Seahawks and later for the Oakland Raiders before his retirement. Both are different types of runners. If the running back is your favorite position you will like seeing them both.
@@lovedc4ever678 noted
Thee greatest 🙌
5'8" and he can dunk in basketball as well
A true athlete 👏
What!..He could dunk?😳
The guy Sanders faked into not even moving in the #16 play? Number 58?
Yeah, that guy is in the Hall of Fame.
THAT is how good Barry Sanders was.
He’s the best I’ve ever seen..it’s not hands down tho..but yea,Barry the best I ever seen
Saquon Barkley and Kadarius Toney have some insane college and NFL highlights that you'd probably really enjoy too. Great video!

Man I loved Barry Sanders - he was ridiculous and retired way too early!!!
Can’t blame him, played for a garbage team with a horrible owner. Sad
Barry was amazing. Only 5'8" (1.7m) 200lb (91kg)
Running backs, recievers and kick returners provide a lot of excitement.
Check out a compilation of Greatest Punt Returns or Greatest Kick Returns, you won't be disappointed 🙂

Barry was a human dynamo. Loved to watch him.
You have good insight for someone new to the sport. Enjoyed watching you.
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Yes correct 👌. Barry was short with a low center of gravity.
He was fast but not one of the fastest. That goes to Darrell Green, Tareek Hill, Mike Vick, DK Metcalf and a few others...
Wow...I'm definitely checking out those players in the future.
@@GoddyGE Barry was listed at 5' 9", but was at least an inch shorter than that.
For speed, he gets overlooked a lot because he played so long ago, but check out Robert Hayes, AKA Bullet Bob. He was an Olympic gold medalist and was at one time considered the fastest man in the world. His speed led to the NFL inventing zone defenses and if you look at his wiki, keep in mind he was running on a cinder track, not one made of modern composites.
@@GoddyGE gotta watch Tyreek Hill highlights he’s the fastest/shiftiest man to ever play the game.
If there's a better runner, God has not made him yet.
Yes Barry Sanders was very short for an NFL player, let alone a Runningback in the late 80s. His contemporaries, like HerschellWalker was 1.88m and 101 kg. Barry however tipped the scales at a measly 91 kg(light but not unheard of) and only 1.73m(unusually short in the NFL). Barry was fast, but never remotely the fastest player on the field, he was however able to stop and start on a dime.
Barry Sanders is one of the most elusive of all time. Speed and Quickest nfl of all time. Deion Sanders
Barry Sanders ❤️❤️ is the GOAT
Barry Sanders was 5’9”, which is average height for a man in the USA…Running Backs are normally the shortest players on the field (pitch) because they have a lower center of gravity, which makes it harder to tackle them and being shorter makes it harder to see them when play begins…since running backs are normally handed the ball, there is no reason for them to be tall…the wide receiver position usually has the tallest players to help them catch the ball better…
Ok...thanks for the info.
The only player that if you blinked you would literally miss something special
Sanders was more quick and shifty than fast . He had good speed ,but notice how many times he gets caught from behind
Yeah...you're right. I noticed that.
I hated Barry because it seemed like he always had at least 150 yards every time he played the Vikings. He was such an uncredible running back. Same with Walter Payton, an incredible running back, you should check him out.
A lot of running backs are shorter. It gives them an advantage. They can "hide" behind their Offensive Linemen until a lane opens up, they have a lower center of gravity which gives them better balance
#2 play was against a Hall of Fame Safety, Ty Law. #1 was against a top 5 defense from the early-mid 90s lol. He just made great players and and great defenses look mediocre.
Ty Law was not in the league, yet. Ane he was a CB for 97% of his career, not a safety.
A random Barry Sanders highlight reel sometime in 2006 got me hooked for life. Also, I'm not suggesting you do a reaction to it for your channel, (NFL would probably block it for copyright anyways) but if you really want to watch some football, and get an idea of what the game is like, try a whole game. The official NFL RUclips channel has some very very good games available in full to watch. My personal recommendation would be Super Bowl 49: ruclips.net/video/0RFXLwZV_fA/видео.html
Ok 👌
I want to Say Barry was rumored to Run a 4.28 in College
Fast enough, but he was intelligent as can be and was able to spot the most ridiculously narrow holes in the pack and squeeze through like he was covered in grease. Heheheh
This is the GOAT
Barry is my favorite back of all time
I love him as well
So fun fact Barry sanders actually did ballet, it helped him gain the balance. You can even see you in a bit when he moves…
And the fact that Sanders played on the worst team in league history makes his runs even more impressive.
I am convinced that if soccer was as big in the US as everywhere else, and our top athletes played it since birth like everywhere else, Deion Sanders would have been the GOAT and him and Barry Sanders would have been the starting forwards that won the US the World Cup in 94.
Hahaha...🤣
@@GoddyGE tell me if Barry and Deion were raised in France, and played soccer their whole lives like they did football, they wouldn’t have been the greatest strikers in soccer history… lol
@@martyc909 🤣🤣
With this athleticism and agility, more of a Defensive midfielder or fullback.
@@GoddyGE if they were trained since birth for soccer instead of American football, I think their foot work would dominate.
#20 🏃Just ⏩ Enuf! 🦁
What made him even more legendary was that the Lions were a pretty bad team. Terrible. So the opponents KNEW the ball was going to Barry. It just didn't matter and he made them look silly anyway.
are*
pretty bad? they were HISTORICALLY bad.
He wasn't very tall, he was very sturdy. He had thighs like tree trunks. He was fast and could cut on a dime. He quit before he racked up all the records, but was on track to be the very best of all time.
Why did he quit?
@@GoddyGE if you spent 14 years college and pro running from the most powerful men on earth, that are trying to take your head off, retiring while you have good health is pretty smart.
@@altonruss3913 that's very true. Sports legacy isn't everything.
@@GoddyGE I am not speaking from knowledge, only Barry really knows, I think he quit because Detroit would never let him go. He would have been a mega-star on a team that could actually make it.
Detroit would never let him go so he chose to hang up his cleats and let a much lesser back get all the records, Emmit Smith. Just imagine if he could have played for San Francisco.
Edit: Yes I said Smith was LESSER. He was slower. Smith played behind the best O-line in the game, while Barry was behind the worst. Emmit also piled on a lot of his yards in “garbage time,” the game is won and Smith should be on the bench, but no-he is out running the ball on a beat up team.
A lot of the great running backs were short. (Compared to the guys blocking for them, anyway- Remember, almost all of those linemen are 6'3" or taller)
Got to watch Emmitt Smith next!!!!!!
He ran a 4.37 in the 40 yd at the combine. So not the fastest, but plenty fast. And he had playing speed which is different from just timed sprinting.
he was quicker than fast.
Barry Sanders would have the opposing defensive players losing sleep during the days leading up to the game because they never knew how they were going to stop him. He was a defensive coordinators worst fuckin nightmare. Tums antacids sales skyrocketed during the ten years Barry was in the league.
Definitely do Reggie Bush USC college highlights. Closest RB to Barry Sanders.
The effort the defensive players show as someone is approaching the goal line that you enjoy so much is coached at all levels of American football. From primary school and secondary school, defensive coaches preach to never stop or give up on a play until the whistle signals the end of the play. If a player shows a lack of effort by slowing down or stopping and not "finishing the play" by running toward the ball until the whistle blows then the player will face severe criticism and maybe corrective action like losing their playing time in the game. By the time they are in the NFL, it is absolutely drilled into the the defense to run to the ball until the play is over. There are plenty of instances where last moment fumbles are forced by a pursuing defensive player and even some where the offensive player celebrates too early and drops the ball in celebration BEFORE actually entering the end zone thereby intentionally fumbling the ball and giving a defensive play an opportunity to recover possession of the ball for his offensive team. In addition, simply tackling them just short of the end zone gives the defense an opportunity regroup and try to hold them to less points by forcing them to kick a 3 point field goal as opposed to the 6 point touchdown. The difference could mean winning or losing a game so maximum effort on defense is expected.
Man I love your videos check out Mike Alstott he had power
Thank you.
I'll check him out.
I believe Barry is the G.O.A.T at the running back position, but a lot of factors need to be assessed to arrive at that conclusion. These highlights show him having huge success with his elusive running style, but the downside of all that stop-start-sideways-backwards running was a lot of carries that resulted in no gain or a loss. You just don't see those runs in a highlight reel. Teams with great defenses could counter what Barry did simply by setting up a picket line of defenders disciplined enough not to all lunge at him at the same time. He'd dance around as best he could, but there was nowhere to go. In American football, a long TD run is always nice, but you can achieve that same TD by methodically moving the ball down the field in much smaller chunks of yardage. Running backs like Walter Peyton and Emmit Smith were better at just hitting the line and punching through for a four or five-yard gain. Sanders would have a lot of carries for negative yardage that killed drives. A lot of these highlights are draw plays run on second or third down where a lot of yardage was needed to obtain a first down, and a pass play was expected, and maybe a blitz had been called for the defense.
But there is no denying that Barry had a freakish body unlike any running back ever seen in the NFL, and he used that body, and a keen football mind, to make astounding plays that made him seem to be playing against boys rather tha men who were among the best athletes on Earth, and that wonder factor makes him the best of all time. I once saw a photo of Barry snapped at the moment he was making a sharp cut on artificial turf. The cleats of his outside foot were all planted firmly in the turf. That foot was flat on the ground, but the knee on that same leg was maybe six inches from touching the turf. His ankles were so flexible and so strong that he could plant that foot and cut, or stop, like no other runner. We will never see the likes of him ever again. As hard as it might be to believe after watching these NFL hightlights, Barry playing against collegiate players was even more of a mismatch, with Barry rushing for 2628 yards and scoring a total of 37 TDs for Oklahoma State in a mere 11 games in 1988. That earned him the #1 pick in the NFL draft.
I plan on watching his NCAA highlights in the future.
I called him swivel hips🤣
Lol 😆
I like this guy but imagine his disappointment when he gets more into football and realizes that nobody else moves like Barry!!
I don’t hate these too 50 videos but this ain’t his most craziest videos. They take history into account for their consideration. He’s got more impressive plays than this (no kidding some of them for small gains). He’s the only player that could lose a yard and still make say, “WOW!” What MJ was in the air, Sanders was on the ground.
Oh and personally, I love number three the most. Dude is getting spun in the air, but as soon as that left foot strikes the ground…he’s full speed. That acceleration is truly unreal, because he’s spinning as his foot is landing. That’s insane body control and strength!
I’m willing to bed money I don’t have that if the Olympics had a 20 yard dash event, he’d still hold the world record.
Now go to the defensive side of the game - watch "Butkus Monster of the Midway" - probably the most feared defender who ever played in the NFL.
Noted
I would give that to Lawrence Taylor
@@MetalDetroit Different era, different era, but I wouldn't argue with your choice.
You should check out his videos when he played at Oklahoma State University
Also check out longest Touchdown runs in the NFL

Hey bro, I would recommend the you react to the video "Joseph Vincent- Bo Jackson: Super Bo". He was a phenomenon like no other during his brief career. He was a star RB in the NFL and he was a star outfielder in MLB baseball at the same time! That is unheard of to play two pro sports at the same time! Only him and Deion Sanders were only two to ever to do it! Bo Jackson was am absolute beast!
BTW, I agree with that RB is more exciting to watch then QB but the QB is the brains and the field general of the team! If you are the fan of a NFL team, you cannot get to the playoffs or get to the Super Bowl or win a Super Bowl without a very good QB or an elite QB. Bottom line is that it does not matter how good the reasr of your RB or your WR or TE or your how good you defense is, it cannot make up for a bad QB or a mediocre QB. And in the NFL there are a lot of QBs that are mediocre or not good by NFL standards!
Bo Jackson video coming soon.
@@GoddyGE I am really enjoying you videos so far. Congrats on hitting 1K in just a month on RUclips! That's awesome bro! I just saw your video about hitting 1K. I mentioned on there that you should react to the video titled "Steph's Best Plays in the 2022 NBA Finals". I noticed you haven't done any NBA yet. Steph Curry of my hometown Golden State Warriors is the best shooter in the history of the NBA and he just was the MVP of the 2022 NBA Finals. You have to watch one of the best to ever play basketball! Ron from California.
He was 5' 8" 203lbs

Hey man, it's cool that you're expanding your horizons and getting into American Football. You're pretty perceptive about a lot of the things that made Barry a great player, like his thighs, center of gravity, speed and agility. He used his height to his advantage because it was hard for the defenders to see where he was going. Like some of the other posters, I think if you like people being chased and nobody catching them, I think you'll like Bo Jackson. Also maybe you'd like some of the receivers, they have really good body control and can catch the ball with a lot of people around them (as well as running fast). Guys like Randy Moss and Calvin Johnson might interest you. Anyways, I liked and subscribed. Good luck with your channel.
I appreciate you joining me on this ride. Your player reaction suggestions are definitely noted.
He was short, but not small
I recommend Adrian Peterson 100 TD video, you will love it
Barry is only 5'10". Barry had a lot of skill advantages. At his height he was hard to find among the offensive lineman (OL's) that stood 6'5" or so. He had great speed. He maintained that speed through his cuts as well or better than anyone that ever played. Gayle Sayers was close. He had amazing quickness and agility. He had incredible balance. He could accelerate to his top speed as fast as anyone ever. He was small, but hiss thighs were huge, as big as many offensive and defensive linemen. He had incredible vision and anticipation. Finally he had very good strength and great hands for pass catching. The only other backs who IMO could be considered equal to Barry in their primes were OJ Simpson, Jim Brown (who were both stronger), and Gayle Sayers who was just as quick and fast as a cutter, but not in the 40 yard dash.
Thanks for the info.
OJ was a Running Back as well?
@@GoddyGE OJ was one of the greatest running backs of all time. As an object lesson, brutally murdering your wife and an innocent bystander changes everyone it touches, and makes you the scumbag you are.
@@GoddyGE yes, he was...they called him the juice, and his Oline was called the electric company...because they turned on the juice. OJ was the first NFL running back to rush for 2,000 yards in a season...He was pretty darn good but was underrated a little bit because where you played played a great part in your notoriety; and he was stuck in Buffalo...but yeah he's an all time great NFL Hall of Famer...all that other stuff came years and years later....
@@GoddyGE OJ originally got famous for playing football. He was one of the best running backs of his era and of all time. He achieved the first 2,000 yard (1.83 kilometers) season in NFL history in 1973. It's only been done (8) times in over a hundred years. He is also the only member of the 2,000 yard club to have done it in a 14-game season. All other players on the list did it in a 16-game season. (The season is currently 17 games long) As such, he has the highest yards-per-game of any player on the list, at 143 .1 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2,000-yard_club
@@JuneBaby01 As an African, I first knew OJ the murder suspect, before I ever knew his real profession lol.
Watch Eric Dickerson highlights. At his peak, he might’ve been the best running back of all time.
Dickerson played on some good teams though. The Lions were minor league and still are.
And a wide base that allows him to change direction with balance
5'8"-200+
More so quickness and jukes than speed.
You wanna see speed, size, and moves?
BO JACKSON!!!!!!!
Do Dante Hall
Imo Bay Sanders is the GOAT RB!
Sadly for Barry the team he played for, the Detroit Lions were always terrible and surrounded him with zero talent. For most of his career, Barry was the entire Lions offense, and he never had the benefit of playing with a great or even good Quarterback, or any other offensive playmakers. The Lions Defense was equally pathetic.
That makes him even more impressive because opposing Defenses focused their entire game plan on him, and they still couldn't stop him.
One reason Barry retired early was because he was sick of being on losing teams, and never getting a chance to compete in the playoffs and never winning anything.
I loved watching him, but wanted the lions to trade him so I could see him play for an NFL team.
You should do a react to Earl Campbell or the Nigerian Nightmare.
Noted.
It wasn't speed that killed with Barry it is acceleration. The dude could go from nothing to full speed in two steps and back down to zero just as quick. That along with his balance was just ungodly.
Yeah...I noticed that as well.
@@GoddyGE also the vision, being able to find the smallest hole to burst threw, I'm only 6min in so if you mention that as well my bad 😏🍻
@@A_Name_ i didn't mention it. Thats actually a good point.
He was so hard to tackle cuz he was low to the grounds and his legs were huge
Yeah...I noticed that.
A great player...everyone respected his talent but too bad he played for lousey team.

This man's career was wasted in Detroit.
Bo Jackson even faster and weight much heavier
It would be worth your time to check out Emmitt Smith
Will definitely do
