As far as the greatest Running Back in NFL history goes, Barry Sanders is number one and Walter Payton/Gale Sayers/Jim Brown aren’t even close behind him. We hesitate to ever compare another back to Sanders – much like we would NEVER compare another basketball player to Michael Jordan – but, damn, Shady may be freaking close!
Hyperbole or not, the cuts he makes and the way he stops and turns on a dime, are reminiscent of one Running Back and one Running Back only: Barry.
