Kevin Carter was a major part of those championship Rams teams, Leslie O’Neal was a great DE playing with guys like Junior Seau and Rodney Harrison. Karl Mecklenburg was a key part of the Denver Broncos whose defense was always in the top ten. Tony Richardson was a staple in KC. Chris Warren was a top ten RB. These dudes was dominant (or the very least known dudes in the league who made plays and were game planned for) in their own right.

I think he was undrafted too. Such a consistent top tier performer but doesn’t get enough recognition now

This is a great series! I hope you guys will be very dedicated about it. Some thoughts on some of the players on here: Ben "Winter" Coates: I loved watching that guy playing back in the day. He was a very physical but talented pass receiving TE. When you think of the Drew Bledsoe era Coates is one of the guys you immediately think of. Herman Moore: A really good player however he's probably the poster boy for "stats accumulator". In fact the Lions receiving corps of his era are probably the biggest example of that. Corey Dillon: For years it seemed he was the ONLY weapon Cincy had. He was basically their entire offense for far too long to the point that by the end he was showing the wear and tear of being used up. At least he got his ring in NE. I really hope his tiff with the fans in Cincy doesn't last too long in regards to being named to the Bengals ring of honor. Jesse Tuggle: A very physical and fun player to watch and someone who really gave it his all. His son was also a great contributor in the CFL winning a Grey Cup with the Argos in 2017. Roy Green: Now there's a guy who's totally under the radar. He doesn't get mentioned much at all these days. Mark Brunell: Now there was a guy who was a really good QB for a number of years. I always felt he was slept on even in his prime. The big upset in the '96 playoffs against the Broncos was a real shocker. Antonio Freeman: Man that guy made so many great catches and that MNF catch is in my top 5 greatest catches ever. Terry Allen: Holy crap! You really dug around for this one. Even in his day he was very underrated. You look at his stats and think "Wait, he did that?!". Wes Chandler: He was sort of the forgotten man in that offense at times and that allowed him to put up the HUGE numbers he did in SD. I've heard some say he was the most physically gifted guy in that WR group. Randy Gradishar: Why isn't he in the HOF? Pat Swilling: That man was one of the most FEARED defensive players in the league for a time. Rickey Watters: A guy who should be in the HOF by now but he never played the media game and was often at odds with his teams AND said media. He was in some ways the RB equivalent to Brett Favre in that he played a very emotional intense style of ball. Lorenzo Neal: Man you guys are doing such a great job with this first episode. Neal was just a HAMMER out of the backfield and was one of the better blockers around. Curt Warner: A steady and productive back. He was the PERFECT guy for Chuck Knox's "Ground Chuck" offense in Seattle. Eric Allen: That guy played the game like his life depended on it. His lack of stature led to him being picked on at times but be wary of that as he'd make you PAY eventually. Wayne Chrebet: I've always said that he was the NFL version of the CFL's Ben Cahoon. They were of similar stature and style of play in their respective leagues. Big Bubba Baker: I've heard him interviewed on a podcast. He seems like such a humble and great guy. He isn't even all that bitter about not getting the sack record but he IS confused why the NFL won't recognize his achievement after the sack totals was confirmed by football researchers. I know this was a super long comment. Next time i'll have to be more judicious. This is a GREAT series so far.

@davidroberts7282

If the NFL had begun counting sacks as an official statistic 5 years sooner then they did, great defensive players like Bubba Baker, and Jacob Green(drafted by Seattle in 1980 and played there for 13 seasons) would likely be in the HOF right now. Ricky Watters was a great player, and an offensive contributor but IMHO, if you were to ask him now, he'd probably say he made a mistake leaving SB XXIX champs Niners for Eagles via FA after the 1994 season. Although he prospered in Philly his first two seasons, the media there often accused Watters of being selfish, self-centered, and overly brash, and as T.O. found a decade later, that doesn't work as a sound, player PR strategy for Eagles fans and Philadelphia sports MSM. Sometimes, Watters could come across as aloof, arrogant, and cocky and didnt always exert 100% on every offensive play (see his alligator-arming a sure 3rd and long pass down the middle pass vs Tampa in Week 2 or 3 of the 1995 season). When asked by media afterwards why he didnt try harder to catch a 3rd down pass that wouldve extended a late drive that mightve led to Eagles winning the game, Watters replied, "For Whom? For What?" After that post-game early season snafu, most Eagles fans, teammates, assistants and writers never forgot, forgave his snide, flippant comments. Waters had a far better, likely more enjoyable career with S.F. and Seattle, he's remembered with a lot more fondness, appreciation there. Watters, again, if he do it all over again, wouldve stayed with 49ers instead of chasing more money via FA, I think he wouldve ended being a lot happier. They sort of inferred this when they brought up his entry on this anthology, but Curt Warner tearing his ACL in Week 1 of 1984 season likely cut out 3-4 years from his career. Even though he returned and some excellent seasons from 1985-89, one could tell he wasnt the same dynamic, duel-purpose RB he'd been in his rookie 1983 season. Playing in one of the moat difficult, then-hazardous, hard artificial turf surfaces in old Kingdome prevented him from having an Eric Dickerson HOF-caliber career, because even when he returned in 1985, he hardly ever got injured again. Warner would've played possibly as long as Dickerson did if not for his ACL injury and Seattle wouldn't dropped out of playoff contention by the early 90's if he'd remained and Dave Krieg doesn't get traded to Kansas City. Wayne Chrebet was the Adam Thielan of his generation.

Also, if Jessie Tuggle had played for a more successful, winning franchise during his very long, 14-year career like Denver, Washington, Philly, I think he'd be at least a likelier HOF candidate than a hit-or-miss borderline one he is now. He was a great, outstanding defensive stalwart that only played on 3 winning teams throughout his career. If you're a great, era-defining position player and you spend your entire career with a losing franchise like Falcons with a losing history, to make the HOF, you'd better make a lot of Pro Bowls, and play for a VERY, VERY long time. Guys like Jeff Van Note and Mike Kern, and also the late Claude Humphrey fall into that category.

The teams werent bad, it was bonehead coaching and staffing problems. Martz was a solid coach but he had his head in the clouds and only cared about offensive weapons. He could build a team but failed to really utilize it. Big problem was getting rid of kurt warner, and not utilizing jacksons physicality with faulks elusiveness. The greatest show on turf was just easy to read, if faulk lined up its either a short pass or a run outside, if jackson lined up it was a run inside. Their reciever core was getting old with bruce and hakim having less than ideal hands and speed, and slow slot recievers that also struggled to catch. Hard to blame them with marc bulger leading the show, he had a few good moments but iirc he folded in clutch moments which cost a lot of games. They had some defensive weapons at d line, lb, and safety but lacked depth in the corners and didnt have a good d coach to really work em into solid contenders. Seemed like martz relied on player skill just a bit too much.

Steven Jackson in my opinion is the most underrated runningback in the history of the NFL. I was a St. Louis Rams fan and what people may not realize is that the offense literally ran through Steven Jackson all those years. Unfortunately because he played on terrible teams his entire time there, his accomplishments went largely unnoticed and he doesn't get the credit he deserves.

Nice to see Bowman get some love

Hold on JUSTIN TUCK CHASED LT DOWN WITH NEAL BLOCKING......DAMMIT HE NEED TO BE ON LIST!!!!!

As a Ravens fan, I remember getting Terry Allen who was well past his prime and had the impossible task of replacing Jamal. Despite his physical limitations, he still showed great vision and patience and racked up a handful of 100 yard games including one in the playoffs. Solid player.

The niners from 2012-2013 with those two all pro MLB’s was truly the greatest MLB duo of all time. They use knock the snot out of guys but we’re amazing in pass protection. I miss those guys. Pat willis is the reason I started loving football (especially defense) because of him. Great player, even better person. He will be a HOFer and he will not wait as long as long as Thomas of the dolphins. It was 8 years but DROY, 6 all pros, and 8 pro bowls, a ridiculous amount of FF’s and int’s for how long he played.

Outstanding idea for a series! Can't wait for episode 2. So many unrecognized greats! Chrebet, Lloyd and Green. Glad they're not forgotten. And look at Brunell as a dual threat -- what was old is now new again!

As a niners fan Brandon Lloyd was my dude back in the day. He doesnt get enough credit. Great hands..good speed..could separate easily from defenders. Nice video.

Surtain like father like son 😊

Excellent concept for a series. Lots of guys who were dominant for a short period of time, but couldn't sustain it. And vice versa who were solid for a very long time, but never really dominant. Some suggestions for next episode: Russ Francis Dave Butz Rod Smith Ottis Anderson Kris Jenkins Billy Simms Derrick Mason Fred Taylor Charles Mann Chris McAlister Karl Mecklenburg Mark Gastineau

Love this series already! Keep 'em coming!

Brunell was so much fun to watch. Basically Steve Young-lite, and at times he played just as well as the 49er QB.

There's no forgetting these boys.

It's a shame that Steven Jackson was on a bad team his whole career. That man was a monster on the field! We never got to see him on a playoff team(with the exception of 2004)...which was a shame. I wish he could've gotten out of St.Louis.

The rams were a good team, but the everchanging coaching staff and bonehead decision making really cut the legs out from under those boys. They never should have let warner go, they should have had jackson line up in fb for faulk and to add some nuance to the play calling. I get that faulk was old, injured, and on his way out, but he was still a threat and having an elusive back lining up behind a guy that runs over your linebackers can make defenses think twice and give your offense a lot of options. Had solid talent in the reciever core with bruce and holt. They lacked a solid defense, like they ran out of budget securing the offense so they got a few star players to try and do it all or just enough (often not even coming close). Martz built an amazing offense easily one of the best in the league, but had a piss poor defense. I mean, even bulger managed to look decent at times just because of all the weapons he had at his disposal.

Very enjoyable. Thanks for sharing. Great memories.

I bet not forget Steven Jackson. Followed him since he played at Oregon State.

I don't think anyone forgot Steven Jackson was elite lol.

The NFC West I thinks been on a higher pedestal in recent years. But for much of his prime, the West was argued to be a weaker division that had "lucky" entrants to the playoffs and SB and wasn't taken nearly as seriously, and his teams followed the Greatest Show on Turf. I think sadly give it a few more years, and people may not even understand he played in St Louis. To me it is easy to not forget he was a quality runner especially with whats happening to the position, but I grew up watching the NFC West so I'm a bit biased.

Awesome list of players

I remember that 91' season the Saints had Vaughan Johnson, Sam Mills, Pat Swilling, Rickey Jackson, and Renaldo Turnball. It's a wonder how any offense beat them that year lead by Dom Capers coaching the secondary and Vic Fangio coaching LBs!

I loved this, Lloyd was one of my favs back then, I remember tryin to emulate him playin football in the neighborhood haha

Anytime throwback posts is a damn good day. The "He did what?" call for Freeman will forever be iconic.

You need to put Roman Gabriel (‘69 MVP) in your next video!

Still waiting on that Randall Cunningham career highlight

Antonio Freeman absolutely clutch in the playoffs. Ricky Watters had SF kept him probably is in HOF

Definitely need more of these! Love the video!

Pasta and nfl throwback. My favorite lunchtime combo😆

I'm glad these players were brought to light again. I never forgot these guys but it has been awhile since I've seen some highlights!

Brandon Lloyd the best hands ever.. from a niners fan and we had Jerry, T.O and even Randy got a year but B.Lloyd was beyond automatic

Billy Kilmer would be one to remember. He's not ever gonna be in play for the Hall of Fame. And he had some ugly passes. But he brought wins and respectability alongside George Allen back to the DC organization. Plus I think young fans would be surprised to see film of him as a QB he's like a jalopy.

Great Job!!! This was well done, and I enjoyed it.

This was awesome! A lot of great players in this video.

Glad to see Herman Moore get a little love.

Steven Jackson became the Rams all-time leading rushing leader in team history. Ben Coates was an elite tight end who had excellent hands and was everything a tight end should be. Herman Moore was an all-time leading receiver leader in Lions history. Corey Dillon was an elite powerful runner who set an NFL record for most rushing yards in a single game with 278 as a Bengals. Jessie Tuggle was “The Hammer” as a hard hitting linebacker who is originally from Griffin, Georgia who played his entire career with the hometown Falcons. Mark Brunell was a left-handed quarterback who was a great pocket passer who led Jaguars into 4 straight playoff appearances and 2 AFC Championship games. Antonio Freeman had one of the most memorable catch against the Vikings and he won a Super Bowl during his short NFL career. Navarro Bowman was a hard hitting linebacker who retired too soon after 8 seasons. Terry Allen was an outstanding running back who can make defenders miss with his cutback style. Brandon Lloyd was a great wideout during his era. Pat Swilling was an outstanding linebacker who had the most sacks during his career. Ricky Watters was a fuel runner who runs the ball with his speed and had excellent hands to outrun opponents. Patrick Surtain, Sr. was a shutdown corner who was an interception machine, so he played along with his former Dolphins teammates and current Hall of Famers Zach Thomas and Jason Taylor; moreover, Patrick Sr. son Patrick Jr. plays the same position as his father as a cornerback with the Broncos. Lorenzo Neal was a beast as a fullback who played 16 seasons with different teams. Ken Anderson was a Cincinnati Bengals quarterback during his time in the NFL as he was an time leader in team history with total passing yards and total wins. Curt Warner was a great running back as he runs the ball with passion and played all 8 seasons with the Seahawks. Eric Allen had 4 interceptions for touchdowns in a single season and 5 interceptions with different teams. Wayne Chrebet was a New Jersey native who spent his entire 11 seasons with the New York Jets and was undrafted out of Hofstra. Mane…how can all of you guys forget about them? Y’all must forgot how good they were in their prime!!!

So many of my favorites! Especially excited about Brunell and Neal. I miss bruising fullbacks and dominant running games

Andre Johnson was an absolute beast for Houston

This is a awesome video. Well researched and put together.

Great list idea and Great video such great memories of these wonderful players and Jessie Tuggle and Navarro Bowman wow were they hitters; Justin Smith was the definition of ironman and boy Al "Bubba" Baker wow can't wait for the next list lol keep it going and great job guys

I really enjoy this series it is really cool. Shining a light on some forgotton players who deserve to be remembered. Ernest Givens is my honorable mention.

Very cool to learn about these forgotten players. Makes me wonder who in today's game will be forgotten, hopefully no one but it's inevitable.

Those guys are outstanding yet forgotten. Now they all be remembered.

I’m so glad y’all doing this

Let’s go I love hearing about forgotten legends

3:52 never knew wayne was the bears radio play by play.. always thought he was a packer 😂

Steven Jackson should be in the Hall of Fame and if he played in a bigger market or on teams that weren't winning less than 4 games a season, it wouldn't even be a question. He was a big dude who could do anything you needed in the run game AND he could catch!! The list of dual threat power backs is pretty short.

I remember Ben Coates was super underrated in Madden back in the day. He was unstoppable.

Great video keep them coming 👍.

This is a very important video. It’s become cool among today’s fans to think that if someone (or a team even) from the past isn’t elite, “they’re trash” or something. I love being able to reflect on guys like these players.
