Barry Sanders Running Quotations

That's one of those runs that definitely caught me off guard. That's one of those that brings you out of your seat. What I always understood about running is that a lot of it had to do with vision and reaction and responding to what you see. He is an uncommon threat.

A lot of times I did lose yards on a run, but it wasn't for lack of trying.

I just felt like I had run out of steam. I just felt like it was my time.

Running back was always my favorite position.

I don't want to get too detailed into it, but when you're a good high school running back, you can almost be whatever type of runner you want to be. If you're a good size and a good athlete, you can be whatever type of runner you want.

I'm from Kansas, so there were a lot of vacant lots and open fields to tackle each other in so we could avoid tackling each other on the street. But running on the street and trying not to get taken down on the concrete, that will make you fast, that's for sure.
