His personal life has prevented him from getting the wider recognition his talents deserved. He's also been politically controversial, both as a civil rights advocate & later as a conservative. He's talked of his disappointment of not being invited to the White House by the 1st black president. His history of domestic violence is serious, but while not condoning it, we should remember the effects of CTE.

Easily. Nobody was better. To me. I watched both. Whole careers. Every time they were on. As a 49er fan, of course I had to hate Emmitt. But I knew he was a great player. Barry to me was just better. Better in every way. Jim Brown was the toughest. Payton was a man with a million ways to beat you. And, endured. ED was a flash in the pan but that was a helluva flash and pan. I still feel Barry was better than all those guys.

@@rubinturner8233 "better in every way". Not really. On 3rd and short there are probably 100 rbs I'd take over Sanders. He also couldn't close out a game the way Emmitt could. If the Cowboy's had the lead in the last 10 min it was gg. Hand the ball to Emmitt and let him close out the game with an 8 minute drive. Sanders would get his gains in chunks. He'd get shut down for a few series then break a couple 25 yarders and a 60 yarder for most of his yards on the day. Guess who has the most negative rushing plays in NFL history? And it's not even close. The same player who has the most negative rushing yards in NFL history. Is he the best pure runner I've ever seen? Yes. But is he better than Emmitt in every way? Not even close.

@Harry Engel Barry was the Greatest, but the line in front of him was almost irrelevant. He was seldom running to the designed hole: his vision and reflexes let him go to where the hole appeared, not where it was intended to be made. If you can watch a lot of Lions game film, you'll see the line blocked more as if it was a pass play-just stand the defensive opponent up to stall their first step into the play. Most of the time that is all Barry needed to break through the line.

Ain't that the truth! 20 years ago I worked on a film called, "Any Given Sunday." I came into the studio to do a voice over session for it and Jim Brown was scheduled right after I was. Jim shook my hand as we introduced ourselves and could not have been more gracious during our brief chat. I'm 6'4" and well north of 200 lbs. I played sports in college and professionally for a short time. I was bigger and many years younger than Brown when we met but I _instantly_ felt like he was the alpha in the room. I have never experienced feeling that way around another human being, before or since. Nor have I ever even thought about my encounters with anyone else on those terms. His presence and aura was just that overpowering. It was something I'll never forget.

I've always known how talented and humble Barry Sanders was and still is, but looking at the admiration from Emmitt Smith and his completely honest admission that he still believes Barry would've been the first back to 20,000 - special. So many times people say Emmitt only holds the all time rushing record, because Barry retired too early, like somehow Emmitt doesn't believe that's the case, but he clearly does believe it and I can't help but admire him for that! Mutual respect from both the 90's top RB's.

LT is easily top 5 of all-time. All-purpose back… running, receiving, passing, blocking… speed, elusiveness, power. On a 9 season peak (using Jim Brown’s career length as a benchmark) he rates the best of all-time on efficiency stats for touches, yards and points.

@SolidPain66244 жыл бұрын
I had O.J. Simpson. He was 1 of my 3 more locks. As for Marshall Faulk, there would have to be 14 running backs for me to include him as I'd put Terrell Davis in front of him as well, Marcus Allen and Terrell Davis would both be ahead of Faulk by the hair splitters of their rushing titles (1 each, Allen 1985, Davis 1998), and their Super Bowl MVPs. Allen got the nod over Davis as my very last back in owing to his 123 career touchdown mark, including 6 seasons in double digits.
@michaelsloane99554 жыл бұрын
Dorsett was a unique case as he's the only guy on my list without a rushing title and I could've put the other TD in that spot. But Dorsett for me fell under the category of "The tape tells the truth of how good he was." He was a big play threat with great speed. It is worth noting that Dorsett's career high is 1646 yards, several hundred yards above Faulk's career high of 1382. Also, Dorsett held the silver medal of career rushing yards at the time of his retirement. Sometimes I think weight should to given to well how a guy actually played the position. That's why I rank Kellen Winslow Sr. as the best tight end of all time (With Gronk 2nd and Tony G 3rd) because of how elite he was at actually playing the position. It's a little different here because Dorsett isn't in goat contention for RBs. But the tape shows his big play ability and fantastic speed. It's also worth noting that "the tape telling the truth" is why I made Sayers a lock despite the brevity of his career.

He'd get shut down for a few series then break a couple 25 yarders and a 60 yarder for most of his yards on the day. Guess who has the most negative rushing plays in NFL history?

Ain't that the truth! 20 years ago I worked on a film called, "Any Given Sunday." I came into the studio to do a voice over session for it and Jim Brown was scheduled right after I was. Jim shook my hand as we introduced ourselves and could not have been more gracious during our brief chat. I'm 6'4" and well north of 200 lbs. I played sports in college and professionally for a short time. I was bigger and many years younger than Brown when we met but I _instantly_ felt like he was the alpha in the room. I have never experienced feeling that way around another human being, before or since. Nor have I ever even thought about my encounters with anyone else on those terms. His presence and aura was just that overpowering. It was something I'll never forget.

So many times people say Emmitt only holds the all time rushing record, because Barry retired too early, like somehow Emmitt doesn't believe that's the case, but he clearly does believe it and I can't help but admire him for that! Mutual respect from both the 90's top RB's.

Scored over 100 tds, rushed for more than 10,000 yds and more than 5,000 receiving yards. And Super Bowl 18 MVP! He would had more if Al Davis wouldn't have tried to derail his career.
He was an amazing player no doubt and I remember him in KC as well. Looking at his numbers I'm a bit surprised he didn't have better stats, but he always had an ability to make plays no matter his age.
No kidding. His attitude in the face of Al Davis was amazing. Overcoming that frustration and still playing hard year after year. It sets a great example
Wow..how is Marcus Allen not in this list...Damn
Wait Marcus not on 100 list??
Barry Sanders, so humble and such a great man. Much respect.
He scores a touchdown....no stupid dancing...no growling into the TV camera...no thumping his chest...no stupid "skipping"....just gives the ball to the ref...and goes to the sidelines. All class and a humble guy. Could use more guys like Sanders in the NFL instead of the overrated clowns that they try to pass off as football players now!!!
@@beatlejim64 If only Odell and AB were like that.
Jim Cushman what’s wrong with having fun? The players can celebrate all they want it’s what makes this sport fun
@@lucendawhite7573 because there is something really relatable about a guy just treating it like its his job and thats what Barry is working class to the core
@@beatlejim64 I agree, Jim that quality is very rare anymore , in all aspects of life
The one thing that stands out about Jim Browns highlights is the amazing BLOCKS that his teammates were throwing down. They really loved him, they turned many 20 yard runs into 50 yard TDs. Edit: Im glad they acknowledged OJs achievements. From a purely football standpoint, he was untouchable.
OJ was simply unbelievable.. Probably had the single greatest season ever rushing for 2000 in just 14 games.
Definitely the best individual season ever by a RB. 2003 yards in 14 games is insane
him and terrell davis’s 2000 seasons are the best. in my opinion they’re about equal as terrell sat out so many quarters
@@jackmealor8455 OJ averaged 6 yards a carry in 1973 so I'd have to give him the nod as the greatest season ever. Just my opinion obviously.
As a kid I was a big OJ fan 2003 yards in a 14 game season is amazing & nobody to this day has rushed for 2000 yards in 14 games!!!
@@1973169 love watching o.j Simpson run college and NFL, ohio state ucla touchdown run
Love the respect and love these men have for each other. Just look at the way Emmitt looks at Barry. These guys are brothers
I just noticed that, but how can you not admire Barry?
I was shocked when AP and LT weren’t on this list. However, I’m glad they respected every age of football, and not just the last 30 years of it.

@@riccobaffa1886 you just predicted the future dawg
I'm 37 but love the old school NFL and damn I sure wish Sayers could've had at least a 10 year career. The guy was ridiculously good.
Emmitt has the best resume of any RB in history. It's not even close.
Love hearing bill talk bruh he’s like an Encyclopedia of football
The knowledge of pre-modern football and detailed anecdotes that coach Belichick has astonishes me. Truly a football historian.
I can’t even front, I got nervous when they brought up OJ lol
They handled it very well with a decent amount of time & comments and then kept it moving.
Damn that Barry Sanders is so humble. So great, but yet so humble!
Sanders was the most fun to watch, Earl Campbell was unstoppable for 3 years, Dickerson was poetry in motion, Jim Brown was the best combination of speed and power, Emmitt Smith was so productive for a small guy, OJ the most explosive. Walter Payton was the best though for what he gave. Total heart and effort.
Barry was the best. Raiders fan here. No dog in the fight. Barry is the GOAT.

Bert and Ben lions organization :thank you thank you very much it was all me
Walter Payton
Jim Brown was a BEAST! No hip pads!
Nobody made defenses look foolish but one back Barry Sanders he didn't use power like most backs he was just skilled beyond definition
And there are still so many amazing running backs that weren’t on the list. Hopefully there’s an honorable mention so they get some recognition.
i feel like the honorable mention list is represented by all the nfl 100 finalists who didnt make the cut
I think this is only like 1/2 the actual show. So maybe some other guys got in that we didn't see
There is a reason for this list! No honorable mention needs to be added.
Yep, way too many
20GRIZZ20 so LaDainian Tomlinson is a half way decent running back? What about John Riggins, frank gore, AP, Marcus Allen, Bo Jackson? All those guys where considered the best back when they came in to the league. And all have had prolific careers.
Belichick fanboying at Emmitt is actually hilarious
O.J. getting the respect he deserves. On a football field, O.J. was sensational.
On his front yard not so much
My dad played against Earl Campbell in 1977 while playing collegiate ball and he said he drug the entire team a good ways haha but he said it was so memorable at the same time 😊 He did manage to shoestring tackle Campbell though which just brought the whole experience together! He won the Hiesman Trophy that year from the University of Texas.
Jim Brown is as memorable as the Lombardi Trophy 🏆
🤣🤣 both of them have the same standers
that trophy sucks
He's over rated
@@enlightenedwarrior7119 naw
Emmitt Smith letting it be known, showing how much respect and the pure knowledge in his heart that he may be the all time nfl leading rusher in the books, but BARRY SANDERS was the REAL DEAL Imagine if Barry had the luxury of playing on a good team every year and behind an offensive line of solid players
When things get bad, y’all go to the running game!.. I literally spit out my cereal, laughing... So true, Emmitt... So true..
“He was a ugly runner.” - Jim Brown on OJ’s running style. 😂😂😂
Surprised Dutch Clark made it over Red Grange and Bronko Nagurski
@Harry Engel you don't know sh**
I don't think they wanted 3 players from one team (the Bears).
Who 🤣
@Harry Engel True, there are very few documented stats from the 20's and 30's but Jim Thorpe, Bronko Nagurski and Red Grange were the best running backs, and best all around players along with Sammy Baugh, that have ever played.
@Harry Engel There should have been a separate category for players that played 3 or more positions. Players like Lenny Moore were not PURE running backs. I would put Lenny Moore, Dutch Clark, Marion Motley and some others from this list along with Charley Taylor, Bobby Mitchell, Jim Thorpe, Bronko Nagurski, and Red Grange on a "SPECIAL", special teams list. Gale Sayers , believe it or not, may have been a better kick returner than a half back. George Blanda, great kicker and QB, Lou Groza, great OT and Kicker etc. etc.
Belicheck is fantastic, listening to him breakdown tape, that could be a show on the NFL network and I would watch every week
R.I.P. Jim Brown 🐐
Jim Brown was running so hard he almost stiff armed his own man in the first play 💪🏿‼
It's so weird to see Belicheck with any personality. Actually seems like a good guy
Why did you think he wasn’t? Because the media doesn’t like him?
He gets a bad rap he cooler then portrayed
LaDanian Tomblinson and Adrian Peterson should’ve made this list, while LT didn’t play for that long he sure made a difference when he and Phillip Rivers made that Charger’s team an offensive juggernaut. And I don’t need to say why Peterson deserves a spot up there in the all-time team
LT didn't play long?! Man has over 150 TDs lol! Third most I believe.
Why wouldn't he be on that list?
Its a position that has so many great names from long ago that you can't leave out
Adrian Peterson is the best running back since sanders
LT is easily top 5 of all-time. All-purpose back… running, receiving, passing, blocking… speed, elusiveness, power. On a 9 season peak (using Jim Brown’s career length as a benchmark) he rates the best of all-time on efficiency stats for touches, yards and points.
All great players and well deserved recognition. Jim Brown played for 9 seasons with a 12 game schedule, is remarkable. Imo the goat hands down.
You can tell bill really loved watching emmitt Smith he was just in awwwww
I can just feel Bill Bellicheck getting ready to be a talking head on t.v.
I hope so. This is Brady's final year of his contract. When he goes I don't expect Belichick to be too far behind him
amazing amazing footage of the Kansas Comet, Gale Sayers.
My christmas present to myself was enjoying watching this vid on Dec25th,2023. Barry Sanders & Earl Campbell. Thumbs UP!
The line about "people making business decisions..." before attempting to tackle Marion Motley cracked me up! 🤣
It's a crime Marcus Allen isn't here
Ladainian tomlinson got robbed man
Shane Rossi faulk should be ahead. Better career than earl campbell
Too much competition!
Shane Rossi if we gone argue better rb, i can argue emmit shouldnt be on the list. Faulk a better talent easily. Probably the first elite receiving rb ever
@@TheKiid810 nope. You must not of seen earl Campbell play then
TheKiid810 It’s about talent , not necessarily based on the career
Its amazing to see both greats admire and respect each others game.
Growing up in the 90s you were either Emmitt, Curtis or Barry in the local park. What an era
Barry is the only guy you can plug into ANY team at any point time that would tear it up nmw.
Any team any time any generation hand's down 💯
Over half of these running backs would tear it up today
My 12 would be: Goat: Barry Sanders. 4 more to complete 5 best ever: Walter Payton, Jim Brown, Eric Dickerson, and Emmitt Smith. 3 more locks: Gale Sayers, O.J. Simpson, Earl Campbell. My last 4 in: Ladainian Tomlinson, Adrian Peterson, Tony Dorsett, and Marcus Allen.
Great list. I have respect for Dutch Clark but he shouldn’t have made the list. Lions fans never even think about him. Regardless of era he’s not very deserving of this list.
I had O.J. Simpson. He was 1 of my 3 more locks. As for Marshall Faulk, there would have to be 14 running backs for me to include him as I'd put Terrell Davis in front of him as well, Marcus Allen and Terrell Davis would both be ahead of Faulk by the hair splitters of their rushing titles (1 each, Allen 1985, Davis 1998), and their Super Bowl MVPs. Allen got the nod over Davis as my very last back in owing to his 123 career touchdown mark, including 6 seasons in double digits.
Dorsett was a unique case as he's the only guy on my list without a rushing title and I could've put the other TD in that spot. But Dorsett for me fell under the category of "The tape tells the truth of how good he was." He was a big play threat with great speed. It is worth noting that Dorsett's career high is 1646 yards, several hundred yards above Faulk's career high of 1382. Also, Dorsett held the silver medal of career rushing yards at the time of his retirement. Sometimes I think weight should to given to well how a guy actually played the position. That's why I rank Kellen Winslow Sr. as the best tight end of all time (With Gronk 2nd and Tony G 3rd) because of how elite he was at actually playing the position. It's a little different here because Dorsett isn't in goat contention for RBs. But the tape shows his big play ability and fantastic speed. It's also worth noting that "the tape telling the truth" is why I made Sayers a lock despite the brevity of his career.
I'm a life long Lions fan, and I really like your list. To me, it's a coin flip between #1 of Barry Sanders or Walter Payton. It's a shame that Barry's predecessor, Billy Sims, playing time was too short to be considered in this list of greats.
In that sense Billy Sims was Bo Jackson before Bo Jackson. But at least Billy got in 3 1000 yard seasons before he was done.
I grew up watching Eric every Sunday. Seeing him on here brings back great memories
Payton was probably the greatest all around football player in history. Running, blocking, catching, passing, and he was the backup punter and kicker. I was very lucky to have lived in Chicago for the entirety of his career and of course his tragic death.
No LT no AP. Interesting.
Not really . All of the great backs are in the old school era
AP is overrated.
That's Wack. No he isn’t
@@ravensnation4902 You've never even see them lmao.
KM 5173 I was born in 81
Jim brown is the greatest ever. I get chills every time I hear him speak
Jim brown honestly is the greatest running back of all time. He set record in 12 game seasons that guys now can’t break in 16 games. Imagine if Jim brown played 16 game seasons his whole career nobody woulda touched his records
I got to agree with that. Hes the only one i would put ahead of Barry. Sanders was unstoppably elusive and explosive but he was usually trying to avoid being caught. Jim Brown was like superman deflecting bullets with his chest. He didnt need to elude anybody. He would outrun you or go right through you.
I agree, Jim Brown had it all. Strength, speed, and elusiveness.
But I love Barry Sanders and having watched him, he was by far better than Emmitt
Barry didn't have the strength to battle it out in the red zone, so no! Emmitt was better!
Emmitt Smith and Walter Payton are both 2 of my favorite running backs of All-Time
This was a great list.
With all the greatness in this video, Walter Payton will always give me goosebumps in my opinion he is without a doubt the greatest back to ever play.
It has been so many amazing RB's historically. I can understand if some feel slighted that certain players didn't make it. Bill has more charisma than I thought. His love for football really showed in this.
Earl Campbell. Enough said. Titan ☝🏾 and long live the Oilers.
Marion Motley and Walter Payton were both the epitome of toughness on the field and greatness off of it.
Payton played though 2 NFL strike years in '82 and '87. He might have had 18-19,000 yards, if no strikes. But Barry may have had 20,000, if he didn't retire early.
Wow. These kind of videos really make you amazed how many incredible talents some of these guys are and what kind of impact they have had to game itself. LT, Faulk, Bo Jackson, Marcus Allen and many others not being on this list is just amazing
Rip Legend Mr Brown God our hearts hurt Thank you number "1
How is Ladanian Tomlinson not on this list?? Didn't they see him play or look at his stats?!?!?
I am sorry, but LT is nowhere close to these guys, the only one you could potentially sub out is Earl Campbell, and by doing that makes the list invalid
Probably because he quit on his team vs the Patriots... Remember he jus sat there... one possible reason
Can't think of a single guy that I'd take off in place of Tomlinson - especially since the point is represent different eras. But I agree that he's probably the greatest back not on the list.
@@citizenghosttown represent different eras but not one guy on the list was drafted in like the last 30 years almost. That represents a huge chunk of the 100 years.
@@thebreathslow4089 Earl Campbell was a nightmare
It’s honestly kinda sad that Barry Sanders dad mentioned the other running backs in that speech, if I’m talking about my son, I’m not talking about where he placed, I’m talking about his greatness and how proud I am to be his father, just felt like the dude could’ve been more supportive
D Rak A that’s just the way his dad was. He was always pushing Barry to be better and it was just him joking around
Barry Sanders dad had a picture of Barry Switzer on his fireplace mantle. That was even after Barry went to Osu
he probly would of been the GOAT if his dad wasn't a POS
Yeah. His father was a punk. You know, one of those guys that's so into himself, he doesn't even realize what he's doing. I mean, he can believe what he thinks for sure. That's his prerogative. However, to say that during Barry's HOF induction (and no, he wasn't joking), just makes him an idiot in many peoples eyes.
Some of y'all sound dumb asf and clearly under the age of 35 in this soft ass coddled society we live in now .... THOUSANDS of running backs in the history of the league and Barry's Dad spoke HIS truth... Not what he thought Barry wanted to hear.... In his Dads opinion Barry is the 3rd best back to EVER touch a football.... That's high praise... And if you listened to Barry's story his Dad taught him his work ethic and discipline and to not gloat and showboat but go about your business like a professional.... How does that make his dad a "POS"? y'all goofy asf .....smh
Had to watch some Tony Dorsett highlights after this .
Tony would have been #101
hard to watch Jim in this state. He is such an icon, what he did off the field was just as impressive as what he did on it.
Ladainian Tomlinson had the third most TDs in NFL history. Enough said!
but no heart .........................
Earl Campbell NFL offensive player of the year 3 years in a row
Your mom prob an LT fan
That's all he had. Nothing else. He's overrated. Just because you got the ball everytime you were at the goal line didn't mean you were great.
