*I know...now...that Pontiac is a city and not just a car brand. That was my bad. I also had a sweet uncut version of this footage that didn't include my commentary. However, Youtube will not allow the posting of this video unless I modify it in some way. The footage is too good not to post and even my rambling cannot ruin Barry's first game...I hope you enjoy.

The most impressive part; he acted like he’d been there before. No dance, no spike just hand the ball to the official and carry on. Loved Barry Sanders.
-
I met Sanders after his rookie season at a sports-card show. He was my hero when I was a kid. Barry is the GOAT! Never gets old watching his highlights.
-
There will never be another #20. Pure class always.
-
Once in a lifetime RB and I'm glad I was around to watch him play. Just amazing what he did year in and year out for 10 years. No disputing who was the Greatest Running Back, averaging 5 yards a carry with that team was just unbelievable! He was electrifying and will go down as the Greatest running back ever to play this game!
-
As a suffering Lions fan for 38 years, Barry was so fun to watch that it took the sting out of the many team losses.
-
Barry Sanders in my opinion is the best running back that ever played football 🏈! Imagine if Barry had Dallas Cowboys lineman blocking for him back then. Barry is the truth, my favorite runner back!
-
No words can explain the greatness of Barry. Pure talent!!!
-
Barry, the best juker in the NFL. I’ve always liked the Lions logo and colors.
-
Oilers fan but loved Barry Sanders. What a humble star. Score a TD and just hand the ball to ref.
-
Selected to play in the Pro Bowl each of his 10 NFL seasons, Sanders held nearly every Lions' rushing record and numerous all-time NFL records, at the time of his retirement
-
I think when you get as many football fans who arent Lions fans agreeing on one player being the greatest ever, that says much, he was humble, smart, on a level of his own, and basically could have done it without a line with some of the O-Lines he suffered with, the man was quietly the greatest ever, the Jordan of RB's, we will never see anything like him again, and I for one am just glad I was alive when he played.
-
OK, just a minor point the Silverdome was named for the city of Pontiac, MI. Not the Pontiac auto company. So, 'Pontiac' still exists.
-
Not only a great running back, but a fantastic person in his life off the field.
-
I knew a few people who went to Oklahoma State in the late 80s when Barry was there. And they can testify that Barry Sanders was a really humble and polite guy. Barry is the GOAT Running Back even if he doesn't hold some of the records.
-
He scores his first TD and no ridiculous celebration.
-
no argument. . . greatest ever
-
Best running back in league history.
-
So fun to watch growing up. He made the impossible possible
-
He only started 13 games his rookie season...and STILL ended up with almost 1500 yards rushing 😲
