Barry Sanders Career Highlights | NFL 

Every time people tear me down because im a detroit lions fan i look at Barry Sanders and Calvin Johnsons highlights and i feel proud that i am a supporter of the Detroit Lions Community.

Greatest running back of all time

Ever noticed after every touchdown he never celebrated, never spiked the ball or did anything to put down the other team. He was a real class act..Barry is my all time favorite RB. I’m glad I was fortunate enough to see him play growing up.#G.O.A.T.

Had the privilege of watching Barry live many times at the Silverdome. I don't wanna sound biased, because I'm a huge Lions fan, but in my 40 years of watching the NFL and College, I've never seen a more electrifying player. Barry was unreal.

3:05 #75 on the Cowboys is still looking for Barry to this day

I can only imagine watching these live man!!! Goosebumps. Hardest worker, hardest runner, hardest to tackle, class act, the best there ever was

The greatest of all time. If he would've kept playing for as long as he was healthy, he would've broken every record

Greatest of all time PERIOD

All highlights courtesy of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The greatest of all time also the most humble!!

We will never see another like this guy,whenever I am bored highlights of Sanders can always rescue me..

I think one of the biggest things people fail to notice when they watch Sanders run, he never lowered his shoulder or helmet to initiate contact. Even when he ran into a pile of defenders, he was always looking for that tiny crease or extra block that could help him find daylight. That's why it seems so amazing when you see him escape what looked like should've been a sure tackle, where a lesser rb would accept he is going to get tackled and lower his shoulder. Barry proved time and again that you can gain more yards avoiding tacklers than trying to run through them. Just watch these highlights, you will not see him try and truck a single guy. And its not like he wouldnt have been able to if he tried. Barry had incredible agility and amazing strength for his stature, which is why he was able to juke and break tackles. But he always kept a level head so he could look ahead and watch the play develop, even on plays right up the gut. That was what separated him from others, his vision and relentless pursuit for any kind of leverage that can help him avoid defenders.

forget stats for a moment, as far as skill Barry Sanders is the best RB of all time

a lot of his 10 yard runs were actually more spectacular than some of his break-away TD runs.

He treated every run like it was life or death. While everyone was playing football, he was trying to live.

3:04 rip to that defenders ankles

idc what no one says he's 100x better then emmitt smith I mean he would have broke Walter Payton record in less then 9 years and it took emmitt 18 years and he had a offensive line Barry didn't

Best RB of all time.

That ref at 0:45 is the real MVP

Still gives me chills. Speed, power, and those moves!

G.O.A.T

2:57 was the greatest play of all time

A can watch these highlights a thousand times and I'm still impressed.

I still can't believe the Seahawks didn't run it.

That was an amazing run vs the cowboys, like GEEZ.

He was one of the best, retired too soon. Some of his best runs weren't featured here, though.

Sanders was something special... A once ever type of talent and the guy worked his tail off and never complained. The Goat of all runningbacks no doubt it

No human should be able to change direction that quickly. I am in awe about how he makes running look like a dance

you knew when you faced barry sanders he was going to put you in the highlights and not in the good way

Me and Barry have the same bday and I'm a really big Lions fan.

best of all time baby!..B.SANDERS was one of a kind..won't be one like him ever again

Without a doubt Barry was the greatest running back to ever play the game. Both with his unbelievable skill and his professionalism. Today's players could take a lesson from him. Your missed every Sunday Barry.

Might be the best Barry TD runs video. Thanks. It also included that squirming in-&-out run against Green Bay that is usually left out in many vids. That run is one of personal favs.

Lord please bless us fans across the country with another player with at least half this guys magic. Pats fan

Watching Barry is just plain fun, and it's not just one or two plays. I'm fortunate to have watched him at OSU, too. At our house we looked forward to watch Barry on Thanksgiving at ;east as much as having turkey.

I could find 5:42 mins of highlights in nearly every game from Barry. What a player he was.

Barry Sanders is the GOAT for sure. He retired way earlier then he had too and if he would of kept playing he would have every running back record 100%, to this day

This dude was smh. . . .CRAZY Spectacular! So Elusive, patient, great cut back runner! I say he's the GREATEST!

2:15 looks like a video game

i appreciate the actual game footage because i can see what he was able to do in real time and at full speed instead of that semi slow mo zoomed in camera that nfl films always does

The only argument needed for why he’s the GOAT are his highlights. I would be floored if we ever saw someone even close to him again in our lifetimes

football will never be the same without Barry Sanders... Vikings fan...

Sanders was and still is a legend. He carried the Lions on his shoulders throughout the 90s. Still one of the few players we used to tune into on Sundays to watch. He never bragged or gloated,

Jaw dropping plays! It's almost scientific the way Barry twists out of every opponents reach.

Barry Sanders is just a guy you can't touch. You could be 2 inch away and still miss. He was born with that.

This highlight is incredible, but barely scratches the surface. The amount of misses and broken ankles on the -3 yard runs he turned into 6 yard gains could make 10 more highlight reels.

Stats are great, but the highlight reel don't lie. This man is the greatest. Even with a crappy team...

I remember watching sports highlights every night as a kid and because I'm a hockey fan. And this barry sanders guy would always have a highlight on and id be amazed, not even a football fan. He makes everyone look like highschool kids lol

As a Bucs fan I HATED Barry Sanders. But the moment he retired I became a huge fan. The guy is easily the best RB I've ever seen, and it's not even close. The Bucs had to deal with Sanders, then the moment he finally retired the stupid Vikings draft Randy Moss, who is the best WR I've ever seen. I miss the old NFC Central days, it's pretty much impossible to get hyped about a rivalry with the Falcons, they're just too boring to matter.

Looks like Barry highlights all fall some where between the 60-50 yard runs mark. I don't think you can find a RB today that can do as often he did then. Greatest RB in my book, and is the only football Jersey I've ever owned.

Hands down best ever

Barry is as fast as a bullet

people forget Barry carried the team we may have had decent rec. now and again but never a qb that could get them the ball.. Emmit had a great team and an amazing line at that time.. and even though Barry carried the team he was the most humble player I've ever seen..

Anytime I want to be reminded about an athlete who was exceptionally gifted and had class I go to Barry Sanders

That cut @4:11 tho! These are just the signature TD plays. Most of Barry's 'regular' runs for mere first downs, were even more spectacular!

Barry sanders without a doubt had tha moves and speed great highlights

Lost in the legend of Barry is the great down field blocking. Shout out to Moore and the boys.

One time Barry Sanders came to practice late. It started raining so all the players went inside. Barry comes in dry with no umbrellla or rain coat. He just avoided the rain drops.

He makes it look so effortless... He's not even hyped after scoring😳😳

The most impressive thing about this video is that other than hugging or high-fiving a teammate, there is not one ounce of energy exerted on a celebration. The man was incredible.

I'm a Payton fan to the grave but this dude pure running back ability I'll give it to him none better....

Love the way he bops his head when he is running in the open field and people trying to catch him

Lmao at the entire Cowboy's defense collapsing down on a spot where Barry was already gone from!

the run at 2:06 , you can just see the push for speed. unstoppable.

Of all these highlights how many was Barry touched? Barry is untouchable.

He's such a hot dog. Did you see the way he flipped the ball to the ref after that highlight TD run? And then he High-fived a teammate on the sideline. WHAT A SHOW OFF!!!! 🤬😠 ( LOL 😆 GOAT)

I'm a Detroit lions fan for life

I didn't see Jim Brown but Barry Sanders was the best I've ever seen. His combination of elusiveness, speed and strength was unique. I'd love to have seen him play on a really good team. Incidentally, notice that when he scored he didn't celebrate at all, not so much as a spike. He regarded that as his job.

I love Detroit Lions and Detroit Pistons truth no lie

barry sanders is the micheal Jordan of running backs

I grew up watching Barry, the reason I'm a Lions fan but I never realized how they loved RB delays with him

Wish I had the honor to see him play live 🐐🐐🐐👌🏽💪🏽

Dude was a beast doing his time gotta give him credit sad he didn't have much of a team to work with.

One thing every great running back had in common except Barry was a great o-line. Truly the best in my opinion to ever do it at his position

Needed some inspiration today. Thanks, Barry!

Inspirational human being right there

As far as raw talent goes, there has never been a another running back on Barry's level.

THIS GUY IS MY HERO

he was unbelievable

Best Running back I have ever seen

Happy birthday to one of the greatest.

Just imagine at least 10 more years he could've played, what he could have done.

I just noticed you posted this on July 16, 2016 which was Barry's 48th birthday. Nice

God given talent

Barry had properties of both radar and bullet. Had forgotten how fast this man actually was! What an athlete!

the greatest highlight film player in the history of the nfl!!!!

Love the Megatron catch and love the Sanders run against the Cowboys touchdown baby

greatness

You have to give credit to his OL.. He was rarely touched by the Defense in these highlights.. Not taking away from Barry, but he was rarely touched on any run.. Great running and great blocking.. It’s deadly..

No one was faster side to side than Barry Sanders. You'd go to tackle him and then suddenly he'd be three feet to your left.

4:10 Barry be like just give me the damn ball I'll do it myself 🤣

Thank you for posting these NFL! Would love to see more HQ Sanders vids. Each run is a work of art!

UNBELIEEEEEEEVABLE!

Barry Sanders is raw

That spin move on the last one was the best ive ever seen lol xD

greatest rb of all time

I remember a player saying along the lines of it was easier to walk on ice than to try to tackle Barry Sanders by yourself.

Best rb of all time

Barry retired in his prime. He averaged 1,500 yards per season and 5 yards per carry behind a garbage o- line and ass bucket qb's. Everyone knew Barry was getting the ball and still couldn't stop him. One more average season and he would've broken Paytons record in just 11 seasons. In 97 he eclipsed 2,000 yds. on 6.1 yds per carry. Those numbers are unreal. A few more carries and he would'be desroyed Dickersons single season record.

I can't count the number of times I've watched Barry Sanders highlights 🙄🙄🙄 Amazing and still Amused...
