"Where is Barry?" Yes, I thought so too, but then I remembered his (A Football Life) episode, he's the single most selfless and humble super star I've ever seen!!!! What a guy!
Barry doesn't like the spotlight. Barry is not here because of the exact reasons you stated being selfless and humble. I bet you Barry was invited, but he declined.
Barry and Sweetness had that kind of humble, prove it on the field nature. I think its what made them great. Payton was a bit more boisterous but still carried himself in that same way. They were both class acts.
He's a bad dude. I'm a Bears fan and I remember Peterson breaking off 200 and 300 yard games in his rookie season. It's so rare in the NFL that a player's the best at his position since his very first game.

AP is like the last of the Marines of football! I've always rooted against the Vikings, but I will take a knee bow down any day to this man. He's still getting 100 yard games as we SPEAK 😅😅!!
On Christmas Day when Kobe and Shaq played each other, I was there with my son Chris, and I looked over and I pointed to Eric Dickerson, and he nodded back, as if he was saying you're welcome, thank you Eric, so kind and he probably noticed that my son had a prosthetic arm, some grateful for that, classy guy,
Awesome Job NFL FILMS!!! As fans, we can not understand how much the football field is a warzone. All we can do is cheer and boo. It is inspiring to see the greatest weapons for the greater men they are.
That was really good. The stories about their first memories as rookies were great. They all started at the bottom and had to prove it and earn it, and they all did
Emmitt Smith is a really good moderator. He gets everybody involved, and he keeps the conversation going with that little bit of Emmitt humor, even though he himself is a member of the roundtable!
Barry Sanders is what a Professional Ball Player should model themselves like period. Nothing but the utmost respect for the man that SHOULD have the most rushing yards ever! Your welcome Emmitt
@@hrantesserian6439 facts in Barry Sanders football life on NFL Network emmitt actually admitted he'd probably have not tried to break it cause of how far ahead Barry would have been so thanks Barry lol
@@richardhodge4347 I disagree with that I think he had over 20,000 maybe even more had he ever played with consistently good team think about it the man almost rushed 4 2000 yards on three different occasions 1994 1995 and 1996 he actually got it done in 97 that's crazy
I was fortunate enough to be able to watch all of the greatness sitting at that table and would just like to say "THANK YOU" to all of you for what you did and for the memories you gave me...

@@SomeGuyo Brand matters sometimes even more than skill. Bo had a brand like no other and would have cemented his legacy with unforgettable moments. Yards are relative when compared to presence.
As a 49ers fan, one thing I remember about Emmitt is how he never seemed to take big hits. He just had a knack for turning slightly or getting down the split second before the big hit came. That's got to lead to some longevity..
WOOO Buddy I remember I used to get the STANK EYE for wearing my Eric Dickerson Jersey to school....IN SAN FRANCISCO. That man used to look like Friggin Robocop to me with the Rec Specs under the helmet!
There is so many more options, such as: Barry Sanders, Jim Brown, Tony Dorsett, Bo Jackson, Marcus Allen, Terrell Davis, and many more. They should make another round table. So many good options.
Emmit Smith motivates the high school football players that goes to my school (He went to Escambia High School, in Pensacola Florida) he is an icon to all of us
I wonder what's the selection process for these roundtables. I love the mix of guys but I think it should be the Top 5 ALIVE all time at each position. Granted that list is subjective but I'm sure there are 4 names that are Undisputed as the best at the position that we can come to a consensus about.
Walter Payton. The greatest Football player ever. Run, pass, catch, punt, kick, and return. 13 years, missed one game. Did it all with what most stars today don't have. CLASS
I think Roger Craig deserve to be there at the table. Even tho he started his career as a Full Back but during that position, he was the only one to rush for 1000 yards and catch for a 1000 yards in one season. When the 49ers changed hus position to RB there was no stopping him.
Yes sir Roger Craig was the man. He had that pumping high knee running style! And when they converted him over to half back he took that full back style and mentality right along and punished would be tacklers.
Of course i did he’s my all time favorite player , I was just saying in reference to having a round table with Walter and Barry would have been the ultimate. Plus I forgot Jim Brown he’s still and he wasn’t even in there
I heard Barry was supposed to be there but nobody could..
"get ahold of him"
😉
That was perfect my friend 😂😂👌🏽
LMAO !!
That deserves a 'Mr Krabs' giggle
NICE!!!!
Imagine Walter Payton being at that table, RIP bears legend, we'll never forget you Sweetness 🐻⬇️
Imagine if Barry would’ve sat down
And my guy neal 😏👍
💯
Greatest Running Back ever and I have seen him , E Smith , Eric D Barry and LT and AD play all great backs but I would take Sweetness all day long
Payton Sanders Emmitt Campbell Csonka Dickerson Simpson Brown Dorsett and Walker are my top 10 all time in no real order.
Anyone who thinks AP isn’t a hall of famer must be too young to remember him dominating in Minnesota
FACTS. Still has yet to have less then 1,000 yards in a season where he has played at least 13 games. His first 9 years are just unreal, from rookie year on...
I remember watching the Oklahoma games as a kid and I already knew he was gonna be a hof
He will be in the hall of fame you can believe that

Barry never liked the cameras
Why? he wouldn't have said anything!
I was just thinking that and was gonna comment.... Saw your comment.
Yes and Jim Brown
"When Larry Csonka goes on safari, the lions roll up their windows."
😂
That was good!!!!!
Where O.J. at, he probably has some good stories
No doubt. One of the best slashing runners in NFL history. Would have been great to hear him talk about slicing through defenses.
Jesse Stevenson 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He CUT out at the last minute.
@chase noneya When they have a CRIMINAL roundtable discussion he'll be the chairman. Or just the POS discussion.
No longer discussed for good reason but in terms of sheer running he was as good or better than Sanders.
This needs Barry, although he doesn't seem like a big talker
thegoodrevtim Barry is a very big at dodging tackles and beingon TV.
He does not get into these things. These are five guys stroking each others egos.

Marshall faulk was the biggest duel threat
If Peterson had Emmitt Smith's line in front of him, he'd have 25,000 yards. Imagine AD and Larry Allen on the same team.
Right. I always try to imagine Barry with Emmitt's line. It would have been ugly.

@@coolmod7731 it was 1997 correct?

I guess Barry would of had 35,000 then.

Because Barry don't talk. He probably got approached and didn't wanna do it.
It's a damn shame Sweetness isn't around to take part in these discussions.
Frank Gore underrated with his longevity
As a raider fan hating the niners I agree. Most underrated running back
Yall wasnt preaching frank gore until warren did stop. Real ones knew he was special with the 9ers when they started to ascend
@daone billygunnz okay you just a nobody lol

Tey Evans he’s next

Felipe Matzar he was good but he doesn’t belong at this table
Yeah grew up watching him as a dolphins fan
Oh yeah he was a beast. Edgerin James, Marshall Faulk too, many great RB's through the years.
Where’s Jim brown?

Best 20 minutes on UA-cam. All they were missing is Barry
They were also missing Jim Brown and Earl Campbell.
Ricky Williams, gale sayers
God rest Walter's soul in peace forever. I only wish that I was around to meet the man.
AD was just one of those rare athletes who was fast and powerful he had all the potential to be great and he exceeded
Should’ve had Marcus Allen and Barry Sanders imo
This isn’t madden boys
@@TheRealRorohawk barry should've been here
They can't have every running back on there you know
I agree with you. I have Marcus Allen 2nd greatest ever on my all time list due to his toughness and him being an all around back.
Is it possible that Barry said no to this? I can't imagine them not wanting to have him
I think so too, AP seems to young for this group so maybe he’s the stand in for sanders
Barry is not that great at conversation... maybe private too.
How awesome is it to see these legends at these round table talks!? Thank you NFL FILMS! Wish Barry would have been at this table though
Got really excited thinking it was a new round table for a different position but it's just a re-upload :(
Barry is the greatest of all time
They all have a chip on they shoulder
Emmitt easily
Walter
At this level, you can win with all of them.

That was really good. The stories about their first memories as rookies were great. They all started at the bottom and had to prove it and earn it, and they all did
Larry Csonka is 72 and still looks like he can kick your ass.
Emmitt Smith is a really good moderator. He gets everybody involved, and he keeps the conversation going with that little bit of Emmitt humor, even though he himself is a member of the roundtable!
The fact that running backs usually have a short shelf life in the NFL makes these accomplishments even more amazing.
Exactly look at Gurley and Zeke They just went away compared to what they were doing when this was made
5:35 Czonk is looking like “these guys are athletes, y am I here” 😂

Honestly, for me, it was 50/50 with both
This one KING ARTHUR of a round table. LEGENDARY. NUFF SAID.
Great group of running backs up here!! I just wish Marshall Faulk was at this roundtable as well!!
He's getting lost in time with all the pass catching running backs now ... but naw he was him
Barry should have been at the table, but i guess nobody could catch him! 😂
Where's Barry?
How you do Barry like that
Anthony Dixon maybe because he doesnt like interviews and he wouldnt have said a word anyway? You know how he is
I bet they asked him but he’s more low key type so prob ain’t wanna do it
Barry has never been a big interview type of guy!
As a 49ers fan, one thing I remember about Emmitt is how he never seemed to take big hits. He just had a knack for turning slightly or getting down the split second before the big hit came. That's got to lead to some longevity..
He had great balance and he would always manage to get his shoulders and body down in order to absorb most of the force from a hit.

How? You have the top two all time leading rushers. And all hall of famers and one future hall of famers. Doesn't take anything away.
@@Antbeast23 Dude, have you ever seen Barry run. Not one of these guys can touch Barry. Adrian Peterson is the closest, but even he is super far away.

Don't think Barry is into these types of shows.
Where would we be without the AWESOME excitement of our second favorite pastime. This is GREAT 👍.
There is so many more options, such as: Barry Sanders, Jim Brown, Tony Dorsett, Bo Jackson, Marcus Allen, Terrell Davis, and many more. They should make another round table. So many good options.
This was the best 100 yr roundtable to me...loved it!
These dudes don't got no CTE. Memories sharp

I love listening to these men
One thing I can say, Texas produces great running backs and quarter backs, cant forget the lineman as well
I am from Texas and I agree. However, I'd trade all of the Texas backs for 1 Barry Sanders.

Barry has always been anti-social. I'd be willing to bet $1,000 that they asked him and he said no.
Jesse Stevenson Your probably Wright. Barry never liked talking about himself. Very humble.
Sanders was a data nerds dream but when it came to playoffs, tough yards, blocking or movin the chains, he was about 90th.
Will D He didn’t have the Quality HOF line of emmitt Smith
Will D Emmitt had Nate house Newton, Larry Allen probably the greatest O lineman all time & Moose Johnston leading the way
