Ive seen a lot of running backs over the years from Jim Brown to Adrian Peterson. In college and pros, Archie and O.J. and Earl and Edde. But when Barry was in the pro's, he was the most spectacular running back I can remember. He did things on the football field that humans are not supposed to do. Now I am not sure he is the greatest ever but in his era, he was as good as anyone and maybe all time.

I'm too young to have witnessed Jim Brown, but I can say Barry Sanders was, by far, the best I ever saw with Sweetness a fairly distant second. A lot of people don't realize/remember he put up those ridiculous numbers on a team that never had consistent QB play, mediocre (at best) lines and his first couple of years in the run-and-shoot.Apache;1760206; said:

Barry Sanders confirms release from Stanford, will transfer
In the middle of last month, speculation connecting the son of an Oklahoma State legend to a potential transfer to his dad’s alma mater forced the Cowboys’ current head coach to address the talk. A couple of weeks later, a potential move took a step closer to becoming a possible reality.
Barry J. Sanders has confirmed to The Oklahoman that he’s been granted a release from his Stanford scholarship. That release would allow him to transfer to any other FBS football program not in the Pac-12.
The son of former OSU Heisman-winning running back Barry Sanders also confirmed to the paper that he is very amenable to a move to Stillwater.
“That’s definitely an option,” Sanders said of finishing out his career with the Cowboys. “I have not been in contact with those guys yet, but I would like to see what they have to offer. Hopefully we can find some common ground.”
.
.
.
Should Sanders leave for the Cowboys, or any other FBS team for that matter, he would be eligible to play immediately in 2016 — he’ll graduate from Stanford in June — provided, of course, he graduates and enrolls in a grad program at his new school not offered at his old one.

Veni. Vidi. Vici.
No doubt. Smart move all the way around--get a degree from one of the top academic institutions in the country, and then transfer to a school where you're likely to get more playing time. Kid was in a tough spot playing behind one of the best RBs that will return to college football next year.

Agreed. But if I were him, i wouldn't want to go to Ok State. Constantly being compared to his father, and fans expecting 200yd games constantly will put a lot of pressure on a kid. Itd be like Jordan's kids going to UNC. I hope he goes to a school where he can make his own name and get PT. he'd be a decent stop gap RB for a team for a year

If he was an 18 year old freshman I'd totally agree - I think living up to the name is easier though when you're 22, have a degree, etc. He's a grown man at this point, knows who he is and he had success elsewhere (dang near 7 yards a pop) so it might be nice to get back to his dads stomping grounds for one year. They could certainly use him at Ok State. Or he can come here :)

22 and your dad is arguably the greatest RB of all time, and IS the greatest RB in (fake)OSU history, is still a lot of pressure. I don't care how old he is! Fans can be brutal, especially long suffering fans reaching for a star.

Am I the only one that doesn't understand the emoji's on this one? Is he threatening Syracuse? Does he hate the Orange Bowl?
