I think he had a really bad knee injury in the USFL even before he made it with the Rams. I think when he tried out with the Rams, he was trying to come back from that injury and there was a big question whether he could make the team. He wore #34 because I think Walter Payton was a big influence in him trying to come back, but wasn't the same player. Maybe if he had that same injury today, he would have been able to come back close to100%.

He was unreal incredible is an understatement
Living in south west Ms my dad took me 2 see him play when i was in the 7th grade still amazed 2 this day at what i saw that night
Proving that physical attributes are not the only factors needed to be a winner. You have to WANT it.
He reminds me of Eric Dickerson. Both were tall and had that effortless running style, that made people accuse them of not running their hardest.

@@CREOLEHEAT Agreed. Although he was emotionally immature, even for a teenager. A physical marvel nonetheless . Bo went 1st in '85, Vinny in '86. The Heisman race may have been tight in '85, in '86 Marcus wins by a landslide.
I love this dude, Oj, Dorsett, Dickerson, and Marcus Dupree!!!
A friend of mine and I thought he might be coming to Southern Miss...We kept driving by the President's office where Marcus and his adviser were talking to USM's president and coach.. Goodness were we EXITED!!!!! We actually thought about the most positive things that could happen to our school!!!
crazy fast! the 100yd in 9.5!
If he had stayed healthy he likely would have been one of the greatest RBs ever.
People act like it's a disappointment that he never panned out but he has his brain. Look at guys like Tony Dorsett or Dorsey Levens. They don't even know their own name. Good for him. I'd say his life is a success.

He doesn't seem to give a shit about money....He only saw it as a means to help his family which sucked him dry financially. Why do you think all these NFL rookies are retiring? Why do you think Barry Sanders quit in the middle of his peak? They realized it was damaging their brain or body permanently. He drives truck now & could give a shit about football. He even said he was so blessed to have a friend that would give him a job to drive truck....Not everyone measures their life by money & fame like you obviously do dipshit.

The greatest college running back that ever played ....omg NFL ready in college total package speed power and size.you were my hero ...Warren Tisdale.

Just beautiful to watch
One of the Greatest champions of life at life. Marcus Dupree.
Greatness 🎉
Most talented back ever
i just watched the espn 30 on 30 for marcus dupree. Very interesting
Barry Sanders is the best college RB all time. Marcus was good though... hard telling what kind of damage he would have done had he stayed in college
Best I ever seen
Great athlete
Usain Bolts record was measured in meters which are shorter than yards. 9.5 hundred yard dash coverts to a 10.39 hundred meter dash. Chris Johnson by comparison ran a 10.38 hundred yard dash while weighing 30lbs less.
Marcus Dupree to the house against Texas at the Cotton Bowl.
Love this guy

very nice... great ending

I think he had a really bad knee injury in the USFL even before he made it with the Rams. I think when he tried out with the Rams, he was trying to come back from that injury and there was a big question whether he could make the team. He wore #34 because I think Walter Payton was a big influence in him trying to come back, but wasn't the same player. Maybe if he had that same injury today, he would have been able to come back close to100%.

What’s with the slow walk Marcus after the TD 😂😂the guys was just as a complete rb as Bo Jackson. Big size, speed, great hands,mane could go the distance at any moment. They both had the ability not to allow defenders to get to their legs.
Marcus was a natural physical freak, i watched him as a kid and i remember asking my dad who the guy running the ball was, my old man said, "a physical freak".
A legend in your own mind. Marcus did not like Oklahoma and he knew he should have chose Texas. He did not like Barry Switzer.
It's to bad That he hurt his knee and all such a tragic Story. :(

I don't know whether to be mad or sad for real. So much God-given talent,all of it wasted. I don't want to say that he was done wrong by college recruiters and coaches and that's the reason for his demise, bc although he was some what mistreated and pulled every whichaway by these recruiters and coach switzer, he's the one that ultimately messed up. He thought he was BIG BAD MARCUS DUPREE, and I can do anything I want.. and turned his nose up to the best oppurtunity he had. Who quits b4 heisman
BEST running back of all time
You can't use that 3.8 conversion. The reason being is because Bolt picks up the bulk of his speed after 40 yards. At the forty yard mark, Ben Johnson, on steroids in '88 was at 4.28, electronically timed. And he had the fastest start in track history at that point.

Right, in the olympics and other international competitions its measured in meters while in America they sometimes use yards. the 9.58 time that bolt ran was a hundred METERS not yards. if you search 100 YARD dash you can see that Asafa Powell, the third fastest man ever, ran it in 9.07 seconds while Bolt has only run the 100 METER. if you go to the olympics website you can see they measure with meters not the american system of yards.
Goodness, he was as big as Earl Campbell when he was only a high school-er.
Should have never taken that Oklahoma money and stayed at home. Would have been the greatest ever, what a shame..

Lol Usain bolt ran 9.58 in the 100 meters if he ran a 100 yard dash his record would translate to a 8.8 so. Also you can't translate a 100 yard to a 40 because it implies he was at full speed the whole time. Alot of what you all are saying is completely hypothetical

seriously? search 100 YARD dash. then search 100 METER dash. two different things and i never said that he was faster than bolt. in fact i said he ran almost a full second slower than bolt. bolt ran a 9.58 hundred meter dash, and i said based on the conversion of meter to yards of 1 meter to 1.098 yards, dupree ran a 10.39 hundred meter dash. almost a whole second slower! if you want i can tell you that bolt would have ran a 8.75 hundred yard dash based off of that math. please check your facts
400 Ibs . 10 times would you belief 30O lbs . 10 times if he can do 400 ten times he's about 500lb bench press ?
Stop comparing a football player that weighs 230 lbs to the greatest sprinter ever. Just ridiculous
it's too bad he didn't get to use all of that great talent in the NFL. He was a great player in College. ashame though that he only had one touchdown his Pro year. and he only played 3 years. it's possible that he could have been one of the NFL greats if he was a little more well rounded and knew how to catch too. not just run. Like the best running backs ever. Emmitt Smith and Tony Dorsett =]
