Players You FORGOT Were Elite! | Episode 3

Might be the best series on this channel so far

Fred Taylor is one of the best RBs ever. His raw talents were off the charts.

Roger Craig not being in the Hall is criminal. Adjust his numbers and contributions for his era and he’s elite. 1000 - 1000 season in the 80’s is crazy too, especially when you consider he played on an offense with other greats.

Marques Colston was actually my favorite WR when i was younger 😭😭🔥🔥🔥

Never understood why Roger Craig isn't mentioned along the other 49er greats of that era.

Gary Clark should be in the HOF, he's one of the best deep threats ever and has the numbers to back it up. He was one of those guys who could make any QB look good

Every time Roger Craig gets bypassed for the HOF I shed a tear. He is the mold for the great pass catching backs.

this is the best series on youtube

Priest Holmes is by far a an absolute astonishing player after winning a super bowl title with the Ravens he became a bonafide stud and such a masterpiece with the Chiefs especially when he had 27 touchdowns in a season is was then an NFL Record at the time but man oh man he was excellent and i believe he hall of fame material so hopefully he will get in soon 28:08

Fred Taylor was simply put the absolute beast in Jacksonville a former Florida Gators Alumni a 1st Round 9th overall pick in the 1998 NFL Draft he was the heart and soul of that team 8:03

Vincent Jackson for the chargers is one of my favorite slept on players

Keep this series going. Alot of Nostalgia hearing some of these names

As someone who grew up a Browns fan in the 80s, Eric Metcalf was a fantastic player in an era where it was actually fun to be a Browns fan most of the time He was an exciting rookie in 1989 that the aging teams of the '80s needed and did his best when Bill Belichick hand cuffed him. "Metcalf up the middle." Anyone remember that catchphrase?

Keith Bulluck was really good. His accolades and play on the field can't be ignored. Some love ought to be shown to Will Witherspoon as well.

Fred Taylor was definitely a beast running that ball

Thomas Jones was a vastly underrated running back I remembered most as a bears fan

Robert Mathis was the most underrated player to ever play the game i absolutely positively do believe he definitely has earned my respect for all the right reasons he has 54 career force fumbles the most in NFL's History and he's won a super bowl ring in 2006 with the Colts he's hall of fame worthy that's for sure 2:15

Fred Taylor, Jimmy Smith, John Henderson, Marcus Stroud, Resean Mathis, Mike Peterson. The good Ole days

Glad to see this series revisited. Joey Browner, Brett Perriman, and Fred Taylor in particular have become a bit overlooked at times. A few other good players I think have become a bit overlooked: Ahman Green: Holds the record for most rushing yards in a season in which the player didn’t lead the league in rushing yards (1,883 in 2003); also a four time pro bowler. Billy Howton: Has the most receiving yards in NFL history through 1963 and like Harold Jackson from the last video, also isn’t in Canton. Tom Nalen: A center who blocked for six different 1,000 yard rushers , and a lot of efficient running games including Terrell Davis’ prime, and the two best seasons of Clinton Portis’ career. Also made five pro bowls and three all pros along the way. He’s still eligible to be in Canton, but I don’t see his name mentioned at all when those discussions are brought up, or when anyone talks about the late 90’s Broncos generally. Freeman McNeil: Running back who was a key player on some solid Jets offenses in the early 80’s. Not a Hall of Famer or anything, but an all pro at his peak, and why he appears in a compilation of bad Jets draft picks I don’t understand. And lastly, Coy Bacon. A three time pro bowl defensive end who is unofficially credited with 130.5 sacks; including 21.5 unofficially in 1976 for Cincinnati. He also had seven other seasons of double digits sacks.

Dude Colston was amazing. One of my favorite all time Saints. I'm sad he didn't reach 10,000 yards receiving. He was so close.
