Billy Sims Highlights 

Not forgotten here. Dude was magic.

Grew up watching Barry Never got to watched Billy play or his highlights Dude was sick with it Hate when injuries rob us fans of greatness!

Born in Detroit 1965 lem barney, Leonard Thompson, Billy Sim, Barry sanders, Herman Moore, those were my favorite players. Incredible athletes, I forgot dexter Bussey, that was most all of my memories, even in losing form, loved every minute of it, hopefully they have turned the corner.

Billy Sims has one of the best highlights I’ve watched as of yet. He had potential to be a Hall of Famer, but he retired early due to injuries.🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈

Billy simms was usually the only reason to watch the lions on Thanksgiving day.

One of the greatest backs of all time and I certainly hope he never has to pay for a libation of his choice as long as he lives

He was very fun to watch

Billy Sims was destined to be a Hall-of-Famer, but injuries impeded him; I still remember his debut game vs the Rams. He was a fantastic running back.

This man will run on top of your helmet! Vicious runner! Another great one!

My Detroit Lions hero growing up. Have him on par talent wise with Barry Sanders. Billy was Epic and career got cut short with devastating knee injury.

AWESOME CHOICE! HE WAS FUN TO WATCH. HES ANOTHER ON A LONG LIST OF TOTALLY GIFTED RUNNERS WHO HAD SHORT CAREERS. SAYERS, BO JACKSON, SIMMS, BILLY MITCHELL ( SWITCH AFTER TRADE TO RECIEVER) , STERLING Sharpe, Lynn Swann, Wilbert Montgomery THAT WOULD BE A COOL IDEA TO FOCUS on .

Billy Simms was a bad ass.

Billy Sims was a bad man. Had he played a solid 10 seasons he'd be in Canton.

Billy Sims is in my all-time top 10 NFL players.

This guy could flat out run - he had some serious moves speed and size

I love how he would hold back to give his blockers, at the line or down field, a chance to engage tacklers, then it was off to the races.

Such a shame that backs like Sims and William Andrews had their careers cut short by injuries,both looked like potential Hall Of Famers.

Barry was fun, Billy was power. Nobody could leap a pile near the goal line like Billy. And he had a fire in his belly that wouldn't quit. There is the highlight moment people remember where he ran up one Oiler defenders back and kicked another on the way down, but most people don't know or forgot the Lions lost that game. The Lions were in the hunt for a playoff spot and the Oilers really sucked that year. Billy ran for 120 yards or so in that losing effort and he was so pissed he overturned the Gatorade table. If he hadn't torn his knee up, or maybe if the medical technology was a few years better he would have made the HOF. Clark held him out of the preseason games as a rookie so we really didn't know what we had. We found out quick in that first game against the Rams. What a coming out party. No telling what might have been in 83 if Danielson hadn't thrown five pics and Eddie Murray, good old steady Eddie, hadn't missed that 43 yard FG in the playoff game against the 49ers. Billy was primed for a big playoff run, but he never got another chance. He signed a four year deal then promptly tore his knee up in 84. 1984, the year the Tigers won the Series, but we lost Billy. I liked Barry, but if ya told me I could have either one in his prime in a must-win game I'd pick Billy. What a back.

Great video. I grew up Detroit but have seen Billy Sims run.

He was an awesome back, reminded me of Walter with his power and finesse.

Billy should have won two hiesmans,nicked up as a senior only rushed for 1600yds

Love the dude.

Great BBQ

Wow! He had some moves, didn't he? I could see why it'd be hard for defenders to draw a bead on him. You think you had him but he'd dart sideways and be gone. Wonder who was faster - Sims, or Barry Sanders? And, noticed he had tape wrapped around the center of his facemask in some clips. What was it for?

Bad Assed Period...

I swear, I think he was better than Sanders.
