Barry Sanders was on the K&C Masterpiece show this past Tuesday and talked about some similarities and differences with Emmitt Smith. They even introduced Barry as the "greatest running back of all-time". Here are the quotes from Barry that stood out to me:
"“We were different in that I probably could have used a few more Nate Newtons in front of me, or [Mark Stepnoski]. You know, or Troy Aikman and Michael Irvin. But, no — I think we’re both kind of shifty in our own way."
"Emmitt was probably a little more patient as a runner. It’s funny because I was hearing about Emmitt Smith when I was in high school. He was highly touted, one of the nation’s top players. So, it was just cool for me to end up being his nemesis, or adversary, or thought of as the top running back in the league along with him. But I think there are a lot of (similarities between us), being that kind of slippery, elusive guy, that can hit a home run from anywhere on the field.”
