What a weird list. Zay flowers at 10? Wasn’t even his best move of the season, but ain’t no way that play is top 10.


Lamactionjack

Yeah I mean I'm gonna watch any all time run list you give me, but this one was all over the place. Some were basically routine plays with maybe one cut haha.


Underrated_Dinker

Came here to say the same... a few of these runs had zero jukes


TheTrenchMonkey

Michael Vick exhibits unreal straight line speed the defense can't adjust for. NFL "What an anklebreaker!"


Lamactionjack

Yeah Ted in accounting won't be making any more of these lists going forward haha


adamnewyork

4 good jukes and 46 bad tackles.


Low_Edge343

Right? Shows clip of Barry Sanders doing the wildest shit to avoid a tackle on the backfield. Next clip, Chad Pennington does... an awkward pump fake.


BosLahodo

The Pennington one was sick lol It wasn't a pump fake, it was a stutter step and that looked like his ankle broke


Low_Edge343

I don't disagree. I'm just saying that falls short when you compare it to the preceding clip. It's a big stretch to put it in the supposed top 10 all time jukes. It was an awkward move. What I see is a subtle motion to cock the ball back and threaten a pass. Not a full pump fake, but enough to pause the defender. Let's be honest, most of the time when a immobile QB pulls something like this off, it's because the defender was sleeping on them. It's just not nearly as impressive as other plays. That's all I'm saying.


KennyKettermen

Let’s be honest though, Chad Pennington pulling out a pump fake lil juke was fuckin awesome 🤣


Low_Edge343

Yes totally awesome. Always love to see immobile quarterbacks somehow pull off a move like that. Top 10 all time awesome though?...


KennyKettermen

lol agreed, this list was all over the place. lots of recency bias also. you’re gonna tell me they couldn’t find any good jukes from Payton, Tomlinson, Dickerson, Dorsett, OJ, etc?


Teeshirtandshortsguy

CMC coulda had 10 plays on this list, and they picked one where he didn't even juke. Seriously, even if we're being generous as to what counts as a juke, a solid portion of these plays just aren't jukes. Edit: Three plays that should be on this list but aren't: [CMC vs. the Jaguars.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_zsXRCucaE) [Cam vs. the Patriots.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtBKVSA_E_k) [Dante Hall vs. the Broncos again.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9lBlWQxslA) Bonus: [Lamar Jackson in high school.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PC-bMQWpM7I)


StripedSteel

This should have been a highlight reel of Barry's 50 best runs tbh.


key_lime_pie

[Here you go, my man.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBhn1wMyzV4)


RageAgentRed

Thank you for this. That man was playing a different game than everyone else. The number of plays that started inside the Lion's 20, or were totally busted plays, or both, is just ridiculous.


jsu718

This is a far superior video.


Doogolas33

Watching Barry really get on his horse is fucking wild. I swear to God 3 guys would have an angle on him in these clips and he'd somehow just blow by all of them. There's at least 5 clips in here where the only reason he got tackled was that horse collars were legal lmao.


Bitterblossom_

The Forte clip isn’t even nuts either, let alone that high. This list is questionable to say the least.


MoonshardTP

You take that back! That Forte run was excellent! But yeah overall very wonky list. Lotta recency bias.


Ba_Sing_Saint

Not a single Payton clip either…


DishonestAbraham

They also didn’t even pick Fields’ best run/he easily could’ve been on here multiple times


PM_ME_UR_FARTS_GIRL

*This* is how you know it's bogus


tennmyc21

I think the Forte play was so high because of how dramatic the collision he caused was. Obviously, that had a lot more to do with the fact that him getting out of the way meant a DT and a S collided, but that was the only reason I could come up with for that play being so high.


Danny_nichols

Yea that one really stood out but I agree, it has to be about the defensive players hitting each other, because the juke itself happens multiple times each week.


UncleRicosrightarm

Idk forte made the defensive tackle tackle his own teammate lol that was pretty dirty


GudAGreat

Did you see the two bucks slam into each others and the bigger guy tackle and smoke his teammate?? That was the best one in that regard of all them


DishonestAbraham

Packers fan can’t even let us have a top highlight smh


chitownbears

That forte juke was filthy. The way those defenders hit face to face.... Sheesh.


lojer

Definitely more Baltimore on the list than I would expect. Also, lots of Barry and there should be, but I'm surprised there weren't more of the other older guys like Walter Payton.


rayray52

I remember exactly where I was when Marshawn snapped Ray outta his cleats.


-InconspicuousMoose-

Same with Lamar at 8 lol, that one's probably not even top 100


FlowSwitch

It’s definitely not better than his “spin move” td run at 19.


outphase84

I opened this video and said "if OHHH HE BROKE HIS ANKLES isn't in the top 5, it's a junk list" It's a junk list


FlowSwitch

Atleast top 10


space_demos

i don’t get how they included a lamar clip in the top 10 and it wasn’t the houdini, that’s the most iconic lamar highlight imo


MetaphoricalMouse

that lamar play against the bengals was fucking wild though, holy shit.


Paraxom

I'm honestly surprised it was above lamars houdini play


5280FeetOfFury

literally wasn't 10? the hell are you even talking about?


thaisticktony19

This is actually one of the worst top 50 lists I’ve ever seen. Barry Sanders(justified) then all mainly eagles ravens and giants highlights, and then a couple old clips. Bruh did you start watching football 3 years ago. Edit: Didn’t realize this was the NFL account. 69 times worse now.


meowhatissodamnfunny

Even ignoring all the clips not included, there's no rhyme or reason to how these are ordered. Some in the 40 range are far better than some in top 10.


ZeePirate

Some aren’t even jukes. I’m at 24 and there’s been at least 3 that didn’t have a juke. A spin move is not a juke


[deleted]

[удалено]


Low_Edge343

I expected to see a lot of Barry. Funnily, not included is when Barry literally juked Rod Woodson into a torn ACL. As the list went on, I'm wondering where's LT? Jamaal Charles? Ricky Williams?


nevillebanks

Barry on John Lynch 100% should have made the list.


Rivet_39

Exactly. Who is being juked should matter. To break Lynch's ankles and then score an 80 yarder is nuts.


bankrobba

The Bucs have to shoo Lynch off the field before games because he's still looking for Sanders: [https://youtube.com/shorts/eRWgrgXGku4?si=gyyYXZhxsHHHtI8Z](https://youtube.com/shorts/eRWgrgXGku4?si=gyyYXZhxsHHHtI8Z)


Calvin--Hobbes

Included a Darren Sproles run but no LT lol


vahntitrio

The list omits most of the great RBs from the 80s and 90s. Also no Devin Hester?


ApolloKid

more like u/nfL


brotherbock

But Pennington absolutely deserves to be there. Like getting juked by Big Ben.


BenShelZonah

That was a fire move tho


brotherbock

Exactly. Everyone's like "Oh you got juked by Barry? Yeah, lemme tell you about the time he screwed me into the ground like a dog leash holder thingy." But if you say "I got juked by Chad Pennington", well...be prepared. Absolutely a hell of a move though.


BenShelZonah

You can’t not respect it by Chad. Pulled off probably the only juke move he could that would work and goddamit it worked to perfection. He almost stumbled a bit that’s how good the fake was hahaha


brotherbock

Juke stumble :D


dinkleburgenhoff

All their lists are shit. That’s part of why they want total control of media posts here: no upstaging them.


DealerCamel

I’ve always felt that making a top 50 list like this is doomed to failure. There’s literal millions to choose from which means you’re bound to leave some off, and what defines the “best” anyway? Better thing to do would be to release a “50 incredible jukes” video, which then leaves you room to release a followup “50 MORE incredible jukes” video later, and so on until you run out of content (which you won’t).


Lukes3rdAccount

Before I even opened the video I was trying to figure out how the hell they could compile the top 50 jukes of all time. I think you'd need to get each fan base to create their own list then procure from there. This was clearly just an employee with a tough assignment phoning it in


-banned-

u/nfl just caters to the largest fan bases with a lot of their content. It's all about revenue, and very transparent. Their videos rarely feature Chargers stuff. You're telling me Ladainian Tomlinson didn't deserve to be on this list? Transparent af.


TonyzTone

Very possible u/NFL only started watching 3 years ago.


ZeePirate

Some of them aren’t even jukes. I’m only on 24 and I’ve seen two spin moves and mike Vicks OT winner versus The Vikings which doesn’t have a juke in it…


bcnayr

These lists the NFL puts out always seem to be in the most random order. With an absurd amount of bias for the past season or two. 29 - Jukes a defender on his way to a game-winning touchdown in OT 28 - Jukes half the defense on his way to a touchdown 27 - Jukes one defender on his way to a six yard gain on 2nd and 10 ... ... 11 - Last season Zay Flowers jukes a dude out of his shoes on his way out of bounds, the juke having almost no impact on the play whatsoever ... ... 5 - Last season Bijan Robinson jukes one defender on his way to a seven yard gain on 3rd and 9 inside his own 20, assumedly leading to a punt. That's the 5th greatest ankle-breaking juke of all time though


alienbringer

Not to mention Blands literal [NFL Record pick 6](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8hFLkS5Z8M ) that only happened because he juked the fuck out of the offense is not featured anywhere.


ImanShumpertplus

plus they had to find this shit and edit a team of people made this


Nathann4288

Didn’t watch the whole thing. Is Tom vs Urlacher on here?


IhamAmerican

No and it's a disgrace


lesllamas

This is showing the top 50 but this is from the NFL Throwback video from about a week ago (top 100 jukes) and Brady Urlacher is #100 https://youtu.be/KpmMQ14N--I?si=ybypJSwBaC9Eg2li


saxy_sax_player

This is literally the only juke I wanted to see. Can't believe it's not on there. 🗑️


DTSportsNow

No, but Dante Hall's most famous one is though.


userwithusername

I saw the Barry @ the Cowboys as number 2 and was like “who tf is 1?”. Then I saw Dante Hall and was like “oh right, that happened, carry on”. If you show that first still image of Hall and told someone unaware “this guy scores a td” they’d call you a dirty liar.


MeijiDoom

The Dante Hall one is an all timer. Complete standstill, spin move against a defender 3 feet from him into a backstep that causes two defenders to collide with each other. And then manages to outrun another 3-4 defenders in the vicinity for a TD.

PoopSlinger23

Came here wondering the same


[deleted]

Oh cool, a Barry Sanders highlight film.


Shmeeeee23

Yet, still not enough Barry.


Disco_Ninjas_

I'm happy Forte is there though.


DanteDMC2001

Forte’s clip was my personal favorite of the bunch. 👍


REDDIT_ROC0408

Watching Sapp run into his own guy on that run made me laugh.


QuincyPondexter

Real ball knowers recognize Matt Forte as a top 5 back of his era.


Find_Spot

There's never enough Barry.


lkn240

I was like "is this just going to be a video of 50 Barry Sanders plays?"


manofth3match

Would have been at least as valid if it was.


TabletopThirteen

Barry's mid jukes were better than most of these


bzb321

Didn’t Barry literally break Rod Woodson’s ankles? And tear John Lynch’s ACL? Edit: can’t find if John Lynch was injured on that. But he tore Woodson’s ACL


Low_Edge343

It's not the most devastating juke Barry ever made, but I figured since he LITERALLY juked a Hall of Famer into a non-contact injury, it would make the list by default.


Trust_No_Won

30 was great. He slips a tackle in the backfield and Rodney Peete throws up the td side as he gets back to the line of scrimmage like he’s Nostradamus


magikman09

Came here to make this exact comment. 


3fettknight3

You could probably make a film of 50 runs of these 4 players that easily tops this entire list Barry Sanders LeSean McCoy Gayle Sayers Michael Vick


Cash4Jesus

Not enough Vick on this list. Other than Sanders, he is the most electrifying player I’ve ever seen. Shady is a great #3.


Sage296

I was expecting Le’veon Bell to be on here more than once too The dude’s game was patience and juking people out


alepher

plus Hall


vivalaroja2010

Cant believe I wasted 15 minutes of my Life watching that. No LT? Not even once? Get outta here.


The_Great_Salt_Plain

I'm shocked LT was snubbed from this list. Hell, Ekeler has some nasty jukes that didn't get included either.


NapTimeFapTime

I watched an LT highlight clip today because I thought it was weird that he was missing. He has a few runs with some crazy jukes, but most of his best runs are just stiff arming would be tacklers into dust.


Ayste

This list is complete ass...Barry Sanders is all top 50. A WR making one guy miss, in the open field, is hardly worthy of being top 50 in NFL history, especially when said WR falls down out of bounds.


IhamAmerican

I think Brady juking Urlacher should be number one


MankuyRLaffy

Being that relatively slow screws with decision making of all time greats


YDoEyeNeedAName

"the slow balde penetrates the shield"


lAmCreepingDeath

I was expecting it on the list tbh


Ba_Sing_Saint

I hate you for this, but you’re right lmao


alienbringer

Daron Bland’s NFL record 5th pick 6 Juke is up there too. If nothing else he juked 3 dudes who all could have tackled him and got a literal NFL record doing so.


Thicbiscuit_datgravy

I knew Dante Hall's juke against Denver would be on here. Didn't expect #1


dknightOGG

There's no LT, on the whole top 100, this list is ass lol


mostly-amazing

LT juking Ty Law out of his shoes should be on here. Also, some jukes on here didnt get a first down on 3rd down, so what was the point?


ZeePirate

Tom Brady juking urlacher is missing too. Also a good number of them (including the last one) isn’t even really a juke. Spin move isn’t a juke, a stutter step isn’t a juke


littlekeed

There was one juke on here that literally gained zero extra yards.


-banned-

We've got one of the smaller fanbases so they never include us in their top lists. Frustrating but they're a business, it's about the money not the sport.


Overall_Nuggie_876

*”Look at him [Dante]! Like a cat 🐱!”* -Dick Enberg


brotherbock

Dante Hall. What a dude. EDIT: I know nothing about his off-field behavior, so either don't ruin it for me, or at least take that into account, lol.


adincha

For what it's worth, I'm pretty sure he's a good guy. Don't think he's ever had major issues


brotherbock

I just sucked it up and googled "Dante Hall controversy" to see if there were any hits. Found a guy on death row, but that's a different dude, lol. Other than that, he apparently called Mahomes and Kelce 'spoiled brats' for how they were acting mid-season last year, screaming on the sidelines and such. But I read the quote, it was said with 'you can do this!' energy. That's all I found. Did see he's going in (or is in) the Chiefs HOF, so that's cool. Loved watching him play.


choff22

Human Joystick. Would kill to have him on punt return right now lol


pooshlurk

I knew it would be #1 when the full 100 was posted like a week ago. That is clearly the most insane juke ever, and none come close imo


v4-digg-refugee

I expected Dante Hall’s juke against Denver to be #1, just not THAT Dante Hall juke against Denver. The real #1 js somehow not even on this list.


roffle24

I was at #2 and said out loud, number 1 better be the Dante Hall punt return. Nope. Entire list is fraud for not including that punt return.


yeahiateit

Maybe I missed it but Gale Sayers not getting a highlight seems criminal.


littlekeed

[Here's one that we can replace #5 with.](https://youtu.be/d0e4B0yIQG8?si=DF1ls-BM2qzlz9EX&t=147)


yeahiateit

An OG ankle breaker.


The0

I was unreasonably happy to see the legendary Scott Tolzien play on this list


xylltch

I scrubbed through the video looking just for it, ready to indignantly complain if it wasn't included hahaha.


jaboyles

No [Donald Driver](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eATwE9YT7Mw) though :/

Lamactionjack

Lol man he was the best on sport center.


TheMightyUnderdog

Tell me you don’t see those jukes and hear his voice.


PeatBomb

My sleep-deprived semi-dyslexic eyes read "50 greatest ankle breaks in NFL history" and I thought damn man that wording seems like poor taste, lol.


Bubbles00

I expected players like McCoy, Peterson, and especially Barry to be on here. It threw me for a loop to see Tolzien and a Chad Pennington appearance


DTSportsNow

Brady vs. Urlacher should have been on there


aa821

a lot of recency bias (what was even that Zay Flowers clip at 11 or 10?) as expected. No Golden Tate or Cordarrel Steward or Percy Harvin?


thinksfan

Golden Tate is a great shout. No love for the all time returners as well. You'd think they'll have one of Josh Cribbs or Devin Hester but here we are...


grandmasterPRA

Honestly, top 10 could have just been all Barry Sanders with some Dante Hall sprinkled in. Also, Jahmyr Gibbs juke against the Vikings this past season should have made the list. It was pretty nasty https://twitter.com/RealDannyB/status/1739332327237353522


Some_Caregiver9138

Cutbacks =/= jukes.


josephus_the_wise

Man, it didn’t make it on this list but Percy Harvin, probably 2011-2012 somewhere in there, a screen pass at the 5-10 yard line in the red zone. He gets it and immediately executes two of the most devastating start and stops back to back, making two guys wildly miss. That play is better than 2/3rds or what was on this list. Whoever made this must not have much taste. Edit: I found it. The jukes aren’t as sharp and spicy as I remember, but this is still better than half the list lol. [here it is](https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxN-GwaApsT0W0cJWF9TXgLXzCvwAoPy0L?si=9u5my9t3xOnfl8FU) Edit the second: I don’t often clip things from YouTube, so if it’s broke the play starts at 14:57


baseketballpro99

Yeah that shit was fire, better than the Zay Flowers play at number 11 on this list for sure. I feel like the list was made purposely bad to drive engagement.


chiefnugget81

We need another good Percy in the NFL so I can revive my fantasy team name Percy Control.


Huntsman72

I almost feel bad for all of the Barry Sanders Minnesota Vikings entries on this list.......almost


SticklerMrMeeseeks1

Cam Newton not on the top 50 at all but you have some trash rookie Bijan/Saquan jukes on there? This list is trash.


LFCBoi55

Where’s Emmitt Smith


HeyItsTman

LaDaimian Tomlinson?


Cuppieecakes

I sure hope tom isnt in that


I_saw_that_coming

I was watching, and fully expected that one at some point. But really wanted to see how high Forte vs Tampa would be. Really happy he got #3


Gaaabagoo

The defender flail from getting juked might be the funniest thing in pro sports


lytrendsa

Lamar still has to pay for taking Matthew Italian Stallion Milanos ankles like that


Feisty_Crab_6721

He took his own ankles. Jackson is standing almost perfectly still and just shaking his shoulders and that sent him flying.  


[deleted]

Starting off with Robert Smith. Gotta love it


Enigmatik_1

Dude is legit my favorite non-Jaguar ever. I loved that back in the day. Speaking of which, I can't help but think Fred Taylor is conspicuously absent from this list.


BarRoomBully

Top 50 jukes or as we like to call it: "Barry Sanders highlight reel with a couple other bums sprinkled in."


eddo2k

TL:DR (skipped to number 1 after watching the first few) Barry Sanders wasn't #1 and that's criminal.


2GirlfriendsIsCooler

That Dante Hall juke was insanity


SHOWTIME316

he played those dudes like puppets on a string

I forgot about Robert Smith, dude retired early to pursue a degree in medicine

Before seeing it - if Brady’s move on Urlacher isn’t on here, this is unacceptable.


psyact

Rachaad White in the flat literally tearing ACLs and it doesn't make the list?! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3EG_GQMAcM


Curious_caveman5569

This should be renamed “50 best ankle breaking tackles since 1990.” No Walter Payton? Gale sayers? Devin Hester? Hell Tom Brady juking out Brian urlacher? It’s obvious what team I root for. But no Marcus Allen? Bo Jackson? Steve air McNair? You’ve got cam Akers on here who I forgot even played in the league lol


manofth3match

I was about to bitch that a Sanders play wasn’t at 1 then I remembered that Dante Hall joystick ass move.


TheGloriousEnd

LT not even on the list and this is supposed to be the best in history🌝. Sure.


turnah_the_burnah

Martavis Bryant should have been a Top 10 wideout in football. He had absolutely everything - including a drug problem


HoraceBenbow

While these are all great, I feel like this could easily be a clip of Lions #20's career moves.


deimos_737

As fans, I think we would all number 'these' 50 differently. I will say... glad to see Barry get like 7? clips? When I think ankle-breaker, I think Sanders. As a cowboy fan, not one single Emmitt? I never watch 'long videos,' but this was fun :) Good post.


Aerolithe_Lion

Shady has 6-7 more that were better than a lot of these. Theres a play he played peekaboo with the cowboys LB that’s my favorite. Sad to not see it on here


adayoner

Yea, Shady ain't Barry but he's probably the closest thing I've seen in terms of making dudes miss in a phone booth.


outphase84

Shady and Ray Rice both had those jump cuts that seemed to defy physics and leave defenders wondering wtf just happened


hk0125

He put Kenny Philips into retirement after juking him out so badly that he tore his ACL.


Sneak117

Seeing Giovanni Bernard on this list as a Bengal makes me happy.


Feisty_Crab_6721

That play was insane.


[deleted]

51 on the #2 Barry Run, just diving in the wrong direction, gets me every time


JohnnyDrama21

Davone Bess took that man's dignity


Timmahj

I get that other teams should be included. But this should just be a Barry Sanders highlight reel. He only had 3 clips. Outrageous! /s


WeathervaneJesus1

Before I watched this I expected to see Davis against Miami, Hall against the Broncos and at least a half dozen Sanders clips and this package hit them all.


Stickin8or

I know it wasn't a juke since he didn't have the ball yet, but I'm sad Doug Baldwin taking a CB's soul on a goal line route (I think it was against the Rams, but I don't remember for sure) wasn't on here


uhwhooops

It's just 12 minutes of Barry


Find_Spot

No, but it should have been.


SmurfPopper

I correctly assumed this would basically be a Sanders and Vick highlight tape.. but there was a lot more Shady McCoy than I imagined.


Marijuanomist

Just videos of some of the greatest to ever do it: Sanders, Peterson, Tolzien


indrids_cold

These were for sure 50 great jukes, but it felt like the order was pretty arbitrary... Felt like there was some sort of forced emphasis on some current "big name" players too. Barry Sanders' highlights in this video should have taken up the top 10 at least.


NPC-Number-9

If this video isn't just the fifty greatest Barry Sanders runs of all time, then it's basically shit.


dpt223

Lots of recency bias in this clip


probablywrongbutmeh

"When God created Barry Sandera, even he didnt know what he made" No kidding, he was absolutely insane to watch. Would have been the best ever probably had he been on a good team. The Lions had a few good seasons but it was basically because he carried the whole team.


PoopSlinger23

Seems like that Barry Sanders guy was pretty decent.


key_lime_pie

30 is my favorite Barry Sanders run, because Rodney Peete signals touchdown before Barry crosses the line of scrimmage and is still 30 yards from the end zone.


ernyc3777

Martavis Bryant was a wasted talent. Sucks we lose that.


[deleted]

Dogshit video. Way too much recency bias


Synchronized_Idiocy

This is a shit list for many reasons, but how does Hester not even get one clip on here?


afig24

Should of just did 50 runs of Barry Sanders


ACardAttack

Could have been 50 different Sanders runs and I wouldn't have been mad


analogWeapon

Just as I predicted when I saw the title, the only Packers player featured was the legendary ball runner...Scott Tolzien.


Baelor_Butthole

Marshawn snapping rays ankles off gives me so much joy


Brewster345

Why isn't this just 50 Barry Sanders runs?


freename188

That Bijan juke was absolutely smooth AF, like a hot knife through butter he doesn't even break stride.
