Didn't have 4 OL starting in the probowl at one time, didn't have a bull at FB blocking for him, singleback offense with the worst OL in history.

I gotta agree with you there!

There have been a lot of great backs...and they all deserve their places in the HALL. But I think Barry was in a class by himself.

In just that video alone...look at the number of first tackles he breaks...many of them at or behind the line of scrimmage!

And his ability to cut back and then hit full acceleration in the complete opposite direction...just two steps later...it's almost physically impossible!

I think he had a couple thousand yards rushing in just that video clip!

The two greatest running backs of all time had something in common...

They were both born in Wichita, Kansas

Barry Sanders and Gale Sayers.

yes sir barry was a pure back, unfortunately in his stats alot of negative yardage, but his one yard runs are better to watch than some backs twenty yard runs.

Mr. Revels you at right. You notice how he had to dodge the first two defensive players on almost every line. Image if he had a line.

[Coach K-LO]

Barry was one of the greats! Had he played for a team that did not use a gimmick offense (run and shoot) and played in a more traditional setting, would he have been the same player??
would he have been better??

There have been plenty of RB that had great careers and put up big numbers and there have been some great RB that had their careers cut short, but the Greatest runner in NFL history was Jim Brown FIRST! He set the benchmark for all to follow........
