The only player that could move like Barry was Gayle Sayers, they both had the knack to make players look like they didn't belong on the same field w/them. But they both also had the speed from a dead stop to outrun most of the defensive players. Its hard to decipher whose the greastest, but Norbert has a point, had he played behind the Steelers line, Payton's line, or the Cowboys line he may have played an extra 5 years and blown all the current records out of the water. IMHO, he was the most creative back I ever saw play, I just love that shoulder dive one direction start the other direction and then reverse spin, thats PRICELESS!!! Thanks Norbert, that gave me goose-bumps.
