Barry was a class act. He could have had the rushing title if he wanted it, but like previously mentioned, he was never about himself. You're not going to find those type of people very often, if ever. It's just his bad luck he was with the Detroit Lions when the league was about the Cowboys/Redskins/49ers/Giants at the time.
He's probably the best RB I've seen play the game despite his downside. Emmitt Smith is the only other RB I can put in the same argument.
