Title: Would Barry Sanders be elite today? Post by: Dave Gray on April 24, 2023, 11:35:27 am I think that Barry Sanders was the most impressed I've been seeing a football player live. The way he stopped and started was incredible.
But the NFL has changed so much that the concept of a feature back, especially one that isn't essentially a WR option, just doesn't exist in the same way. Do you think he'd still be elite and a major factor in games against these high powered offenses that are chunking the ball downfield? Title: Re: Would Barry Sanders be elite today?

He, and even Ricky in his prime, ran better than any other RBs in my adult lifetime and the rest aren't even close. Had either guy had a little help their stats would have been unreal.
