A lot of fans remember Barry Sanders as one of the greatest running backs of all time. His dynamic style, ability to make something out of nothing, and huge running gains are legendary in NFL fame. The fact that he retired just shy of breaking Walter Payton’s record did nothing to diminish his big-play reputation. Sanders could take it to the house like no other.
In fact, the only other running back in NFL history to truly resemble Sanders, although he was nowhere near the once-in-a-lifetime talent that Barry was/is, was Napoleon Kaufman. Nip (a nickname of Kaufman’s), was also known for his game breaking runs that seemingly took nothing and turned it into a big, big something.
