Top Ten Draft Steals: Terrell Davis

[killosopher]

I had the honor of seeing Terrel and Elway play when I was a little kid when they came into Foxboro and crushed the Patriots. Who were hopeless at the time.

[hailhopes]

Gary didnt draft crap and is the number one reason why the Texans arent playing next Sunday. So plz people lets not make him the draft guru

[xTheNIL8Rx]

funny thing is Gary Kubiac now found Arian Foster the same way.

[guitarsANDcars39]

@xTheNIL8Rx yeah man, Gary Kubiak sure knows how to draft!

[hkenny51]

Low draft picks are better because they aren't automatically rich for life like #1 picks so they are less likely to choke like Jamarcus Russel

[901flaminskull]

@hkenny51 Well said

[danning1]

He doesn't get hurt and his career is comparable to Walter Payton's. Very similar running style, too.

[CanonPhotoKid]

I just saw him at in-n-out . he lives in my town/ hes still a beast!

[jdberger62]

i dont give a fuck what anyone says this man needs to be in the hall of fame

[thetexasplayboys]

2 super bowl rings, and as many yards as he ran for in those years, and you gon' tell me THIS DUDE DONT BELONG IN THE HALL OF FAME? Nigga please.

[ApplesauseMan88]

@MrRapmaster19 Aaron Rodgers was drafted in the first round. That is not a draft steal.

[GeorgeVreelandHill]

What a shame Davis got hurt.

Just imagine the numbers he would have put up.

George Vreeland Hill

[sXeReaper]

I hope Denver get another TD again. Knowshon just ain't cutting it :(

[GrassValleyGreg]

@sXeReaper

I'd like to see TD come back and advise KM. We already brought Elway back lol

[marioman1379]

One Packer fan watched this video.

[MrRapmaster19]

Woah. Where is Aaron Rodgers?

[1995giantsrule]

@MrRapmaster19 I don think this was made before 2009

[ZhangtheGreat]

@MrRapmaster19, he hasn't done enough to be on this list. "But he won a Super Bowl MVP!" Yeah, so did Mark Rypien.

[JasonSavelsberg]

@ZhangtheGreat Won a Superbowl MVP, won League MVP, rushed for 2,000 yards in a season despite spending 8 quarters (2 games) on the bench because the Broncos were ahead by 20-30 points, owns record for playoff rushing TDs, owns record for rushing yards per playoff game, joined Jim Brown and Barry Sanders as the only RBs to top 1000+ yards their first 4 seasons, etc. Before the career ending injury he was on pace to shatter every rushing record. Kinda blows your statement out of the water huh?!

[ZhangtheGreat]

@JasonSavelsberg, I was responding to MrRapmaster19's comment about Aaron Rodgers not being on a list of the top ten draft steals. Kind of blows YOUR paragraph out of the water, doesn't it? =)

[charlee88]

who was daa one person who disliked dis

[ZTM420]

him and Sharpe are the reasons the Broncos won 2 superbowls that and Elway sold his soul to the devil, Shannahan is a complete moron

[xX96AcesXx]

Kubiak is a good luck charm for snubed runningbacks Arian foster anyone

[iamhungey12345]

@jooljetkmae

That's the Hall of Fame voting for you.

[lionslicer9999]

Gale Sayers also had his career shortened by injury, so I think TD deserves the hall of fame

[djdeejay81]

Loved this guy. A class act and great player.

[gestekoe]

TD, would have been the best running back in NFL history if it wasn't for migraines and also an unfortunate injury.

[Trollololololful]

@gestekoe No he wouldn't have, he wasn't gonna get any better and records don't make you a great RB, Barry Sanders retired early and he's considered one of the top 3 along with Jim Brown who retired at 29. Emmit Smith holds all the records and he clearly isn't the best. Gail Sayers only played 5 years and he's considered one of the best. I like TD he was great but probably not top 10. I don't know how he didn't make the top 100 players of all time though, he was great at every thing he did.

[ozulu45]

could the broncos go back to their normal uniforms!! iam so sick of this cyber shit!!! and why the fuck do they wear blue instead of orange???

[TheGreatPrince]

If he wasn't halted by injuries, I have no doubt TD would be in the conversation for top 5 (possibly top 3) back of all-time right now. In his short 8-year career, his efficiency was off the charts.

[bluedevil43055]

man cant belieive how many great players have come from the bottom of the draft tom brady terrell davis deacon jones shannon sharpe etc just shows that scouting isnt everything

[mattcolwell22]

@bluedevil43055 this actually shows its ALL ABOUT scouting... no scouting, would not have found the players like this.

[Hunterdh3]

This guy is just ridiculously good and I'm hoping the broncos will have a bbetter season this year

[iamfoob]

It's really such a damn shame he won't get in along with other Bronco's greats just because they played in Denver and we're not on the east or west coast. If we were a more flashy organization or had louder personalities we'd get more attention but alas, these are great players that will only be remembered in the Mile High City.

[CoolerKing37]

@iamfoob I think Davis will get in the HOF eventually (Steve Atwater too). TD was such an important factor for why the Broncos won those 2 Super Bowls.

[lakebreaks24]

anybody who can play football can play.

to me its ALL ABOUT HEART AND HOW BAD YOU WANT TO BE THAT DAMN GOOD IT JUST TAKES DETERMINATION. Kwaku Danso look what this guy has been doing

[TheMadStork83]

No way, Peyton Manning should be #1 as the biggest draft steal EVER!

[Crabman2186]

@TheMadStork83 Manning was #1 pick lol you supose to be good when your picked that high man lol

[wonderful504]

@TheMadStork83 I agree! Did you know that the Colts were originally going to select Ryan Leaf(NFL biggest bust) until Peyton Manning urged the Colts to draft him instead?

[TheMadStork83]

@wonderful504 Lol, that is my 12 year old little brother for you who got onto my account.

[dukie527]

Terrell Davis I love you

[rowdyturner23]

RIP Terrell Davis

[Mortizism]

@rowdyturner23 He isn't dead retard

[bcsROBBERY]

sounds like what they said about knowshon...........not enough speed.

[yellowpatchrocket]

Terrel Owens is one of the biggest steals drafted in the 7th round 49niners jump on it... P.S. even if your not a fan of T.O's attitude you have respect his talent.

[janitorsdisease]

@yellowpatchrocket T.O. was drafted in the 3rd round

[mickeyblueyes990]

Not only was TD one of the biggest draft steals of all time, he was also one of the classiest players of all time. He truly played for the love of the game, as shown by him returning from every injury. The TD salute is the best touchdown celebration of all time. I hope Moreno takes a thing or two from Davis' book. Even if Denver had to trade a 1st and 2nd round pick I hope they get a player of Davis' caliber.

[mbandrews1]

He needs to be in the HOF. He was the greatest of the Denver RB machine. John Elway could not win a Super Bowl until he had Terell Davis. Gale Sayers only played six years and he is in the HOF. Terell Davis was not just eiding the wave, he was the difference maker for the Broncos, and the best of his day.

[psychedelic1288]

shame his career was ruined by knee injures

[plntntvzn]

Davis was a slasher, a real aggressive runner with excellent acceleration in & out of the hole & the low strength to make a lot of yards after the contract. He really played big for his size, and was fast, tough, instinctive. He could make the 1st defender miss, and was just a productive all-around back. He was not a burner, and would not try to stretch you outside. He was always looking to cut back,and when he got into the secondary,the 200 pounder ran like a 240 pounder running over people.

[mike0n0jake0inc]

NFL Network has Brady as #1 steal of all time

[GUEROMEXICANO831]

This is why you want Shanahan with you in the war room on draft day.

[Jikk]

Terrell Davis' career is identical to Gale Sayers, who's in the HOF. Both played only 7 seasons, but only played about 4 full seasons due to injury.

However, Davis' had more of an impact than Sayers did. As soon as Davis started in 95', the Broncos were immediate Super Bowl contenders.

[jdlund]

Well Sayers did have five solid seasons, even if he didn't play the full season for one of those. Davis had more rushing yards and had a better season in 98 than Sayers ever did. But Sayers was a better receiver.

The biggest difference between the two comes in Sayers as a threat on special teams. The dude was a beast returning punts and kickoffs. His first three years on offense and on special teams was a spectacular package. I get your point though, Davis is overlooked.

[eckodenim]

Def a draft steal!!!

[jdlund]

Hey without Terrell Davis, John Elway never wins a super bowl and his legacy would not be as huge. I suppose its possible that the Broncos would have made it to the 99 SB without TD, but I doubt it. That game against the falcons is the only SB in which Elway didn't play like shit. He for damn sure wouldn't have won that SB against GB without Davis.

[plntntvzn]

I knew I was going to have to read something like this. It is not like Davis is the one that did two helicopters on two different 3rd and 7 plays over 3 different Packers in mid air, one of which was Leroy Butler both times. The Broncos also had WAY better a defensive line in the late 90s. It might very well be that Elway was the only QB that could EVER have led those Bronco teams of the 80s to ANY Super Bowls, let alone 3.

[saga303]

TD should be in the hall of fame. 2000 yards in a season, 3 rushing td's in a super bowl and an nfl mvp

[josj15]

i wish these vids were made with nfl films soundtracks instead of this teeny bop shit , nice vid though

[quincee33]

i really hope you get the shit kicked out of you, and i don't care if it's by a white guy or a black guy, you're what's wrong with America, white trash redkneck...go watch Nascar - there's no apes in Nascar.

[quincee33]

why do you hate black people? it's 2010, can't we all get along?

[holtzpackerfan]

Terrell Davis is the BEST!!!! I still wear his jersey time and time again!!!

[quincee33]

Fuck off invadr1, we don't need fans like you in football.

[invadr1]

not a HOF, career too short even if won 2 Bowls, same with Brady if he retired today

[Coganboy]

I think maybe you are the only one who'd keep Brady out if he retired today.

[Hondaftw1]

Same with Brady? Uhh..Brady's been the starter for 9 seasons now lol. Brady is without a doubt a first ballot HOF whether he retires today or in 4 years. TD will eventually get into the HOF, but there are still a lot of players who may go ahead of him.

[MrNeondeion2002]

im telling ya low draft pick player are more hungry and have more to loose. When you get a gem its an all time great not just a decent player.

[williamc999]

i said RUNNING BACK?!

[jabbafan1]

i love that guy totaly under rated

[amari2001]

I hope Knowshon Moreno is as explosive. It seems every player from Georgia Denver gets is always explosive or Hall of Fame quality. Like Champ Bailey.

[Navdan87]

All class right there!!

[DaveTheDude123]

Woo! My roll model!

[wargod28]

if he had a longer career and didnt suffer from migraines so bad they would name a wing in the HOF after him... lol just kidding i like denver but mainly a bucs fan

[Longhorn98fan]

A white RB was taken before TD. That should bump him up to #1

[La0Catrina0Pwns]

It's not always about race...

[djdeejay81]

@Longhorn98fan LOL! Travis Jervey

[dertylox45]

@djdeejay81  sterrrroiids! sterrroiids! he ran too crazy,didn't have good balance.ungodly fast. i think he clocked 4.2 at 220lbs

[djdeejay81]

@dertylox45 Oh that's what happened smh. He was good for special teams though

[spartanman2107]

@dertylox45 Please review the NFL drug testing policy...

[Themadfarter1976]

What a steal.... I really hate Elway...Love Shanahan.

[carter20081985]

:21 we don't win no superbowls. thank you mike for proving the elways was a joke. Brett favre greatest of all time

[tweakrenegade]

im confused by this... are u acting sarcastic or are u acting serrious??

[mediblue9]

Great story!

[miggy25]

I have no problem with TD being in the HOF, he was one of the best of his era...b/c his career was shortened due to injury doesn't negate how great he was...and I am in no way a Broncos fan

[hulksmash54]

If Gale Sayers and Bill Walton are in the hall he belongs too.

[tweakrenegade]

he does have a great point... i mean why is gale sayers in the HOF??

[Coganboy]

Watch a highlight clip of him and that'll answer your question about Sayers. LOL.

[quincee33]

Are you friggin serious? Gayle Sayers was a pioneer, one of the 1st cut & vision, zig zag RB's.....NOT a powerback like Jim Brown, pure finesse and making yards after a misssed tackle. Unfortunately he didn't play long.

[ISACKJ73]

YES WELL SAID MIGGY25

[supreme796]

@miggy25 i agree 100 percent plus any man who suffers from migrane headaches and had minor breathing problems and perform at the level terrell davis is beyond beast he's an alien and classy off the field played games when many others would wine if they had to deal with his problems a true champion and i am not a broncos fan

[TylerGDaniels]

@miggy25 needless to say he had a 2000 yard season in 98

[OoTimberwolf42oO]

mark sanchez should be up there now lol

[matt103454]

are you serious?

[tweakrenegade]

wow... u are pretty stupid...

[tallsmile28]

Its a shame how he got injured trying to tackle a defender on an interception. I hope he makes it to the HOF because if it wasnt for him, the Broncos never win 2 SBs.

[tonious35]

@tallsmile28 If a player will end up ending his career with injury, it better be on a play that he was working hard to accomplish at. Sad at first, but a prime example to show to your teammates for many years.

[octobrick81]

at 1:26, the guy says he had "game speed", and that is really what matters. it does not matter how fast a guy can run without pads and in running shoes in a dome, what matters is how fast a guy can run with the ball in his hand with pads running from defenders.

[stashJ8]

KI-JINA CARTER !!!!!

[JoeyMurder]

TD FTW!

[chrismaysbghs2]

damnn..they took a white boy runningback over terrell davis...who ame outta georgia...a school that is basically a runningback factory

hah greenbay is fukkin wack

[MrCesmith13]

Davis ain't getting in the Hall of Fame on 7000 yds are you kidding me?

[deltaforce186]

I agree.

He was also a superbowl MVP AND he ran for 2,000 yards in a season!

[knocc1]

How many yards did Gale Sayers have in his career? 4,956 yards. He is in the hall of fame right? Numbers are great, but what does it really mean? I rather have an impact player who every move dictates a game then someone who stacks up stats. TD did both. He ran up all purpose yards and ran up the scoreboard. Without TD John Elway, Steve Atwater, Rod Smith, and Neal Smith wouldnt have a ring. that little 4 year period before he got hurt, TD was up there with Barry and Emmitt in a real way.

[Ragone6]

i agree with all you said.

[knocc1]

He was also league MVP in 98 when he became the 4th player to rush for 2000 yards. In superbowl 32 he rushed for 157 yards and 3TDs. All this while suffering from migranes while doing it. He is still the only player to rush for 3TDs in the superbowl.

[dragondawgzz]

in the superbowl i think he missed the whole second quarter. Also in 98 he sat out a lot of those games in the second half since the broncos were in the lead and he already went over 100 yards, even 200 sometimes, i remember reading he sat out about 8 quarters or 2 games. he probably could of beaten the rushing record

[spinnerNsports]

i'm glad that EriK Dickerson still has the single season rushing record however, cause i'm a fan of his.

[emericaclay1]

not for long

[spinnerNsports]

who do you think will break it? Adrian Peterson?

[SaintsRow78]

umm actually he will be...if u win a superbowl, break the record for most rushing yards in a season and made superbowl MVP...He was an impact player and you don't have to run for 10,000 yards and/or a 100 touchdowns in career...u just have to be that impact player who had a outstanding career and never really puckered out during it and TD was that player

[SlapNutsPoonJab]

SaintsRow78- He only played 4 real seasons. But he posted 7600 rushing yards and 60 TD's over his carrer. If you average his first 4 years in the leauge before he got hurt. And multiply that by 14 season, how long Emmitt Smith played. TD would have broken the rushing record by over 4,100 yards!

That's assuming he didnt continue to get better. His first year he had 1100 yards, second he had 1550 yards, third he had 1750 and fourth he had 2000. He could have beaten it by 10,000 at that pace ='(

[SaintsRow78]

yeah i know, i wasn't down talking him. I said he will be a Hall of famer because of the way he was an impact player, and what u just stated is why he is going into the hall of fame, hopefully as a first ballot hall of famer

[SlapNutsPoonJab]

SaintsRow78- For sure, I was just tacking on to what you said!

But the sad new's is he retired in 2001 so he's been eligable for the HOF since 2006. He dosnt even think he'll make it in. He has 2 things working aginst him, he played for the Broncos "They get no love from the East Coast especially the HOF commity", second he only played a few years.

I hope he makes it someday, but even Shannon Sharpe can't get in and he held every single TE record when he retired.

[SaintsRow78]

yeah maybe, he will make it in one day though, i think within his lifetime...Shannon Sharpe just became eligible though so maybe next year in 2010 or 2011 both were great players and i think they will make it in

[iamhungey12345]

The fact that Sharpe didn't make it in on first ballot is facepalm worthy.

[anthonymonroe]

To all the Green Bay packers fans, you allowed the AFC (the better conference) to not only win a super bowl for the first time since Super Bowl 18, but Green Bay can't get back to one.

[eclectica1]

Hey, don't remind me. This game still hurts, I find it hard to watch the Super Bowl footage. Only good thing about it was that Elway finally won, that's it.

[reile567]

damn this was my favorite back. If he didn't get gurt, he would have been by 13,000 or more yards and still playin.

[mondopark]

He will make it to the Hall of Fame!

[astrowrewl]

Definitly, His playoff stats are godly, he has to make it

[hailmary7283]

unfortunently the voters of the HOF hate all bronco players so he probably won't. should but they'll bullcrap him out of the HOF.

[ddlee84]

ill agree with this look at shannon sharpe best TE EVER!!!!! and not in the HOF

[hawianiceman420]

You have to be Top 10 or Top 5 at your position to get in HOF

[hailmary7283]

theres more than 10 quarterbacks in the HOF. and more than 10 running backs too.

[hawianiceman420]

that's because there are a lot of eras in football

[hailmary7283]

well either way TD was a top 2 running back of his era.

[SlapNutsPoonJab]

LMAO! Lucky for TD he was the top player at his postion. Infact in 1998 he was voted the best player in the entire NFL!!!

Dont forget he won the NFL rushing title and was voted on the 1990's all decade team. And he only played 4 years in the 90's. That should say something that he was voted to that team. When Sanders, Faluk, Smith, ect... were all still in their prims!!!

[jobobfields]

I swear it sounded like he said Asian

[hitch4645]

i heard the same thing

[RevthePharaoh]

at 2:14 that was a hell of a tackle by T D

[miggy25]

Rashan Salaam, Ki-Jana Carter, Tyrone Wheatley....wow did the Denver Broncos dodge some HUGE bullets in getting Terrell Davis...a surefire HOF candidate for my money

[takedown998]

Carter and Wheatley might have florished behind Denver's all pro line, like Davis did....Davis wasnt any more talented than either of those guys. Sallaam? Okay thats a different story haha.

[tyang08]

denver's glory days are coming...slowly but surely with Cutler/BMarsh/Royal/Scheff/Cla­dy

[nixthetiger]

Agreed,

[nixthetiger]

This was meant for tyang08.

[Me5370]

I hope Cutler or else those glory days are never going to come.

[wesramone1987]

What happen to Cutler?

[tommyq91]

Broncos new head coach traded him to the Bears, because he is a DUMBASS. He tried to get Matt Cassell by trading Cutler, Cutler got pissed and they ended up trading him. So think about a quarterback who has one of the strongest arms in the NFL is fairly quick and made the Pro Bowl in his second full year as a starter and the Head coach tries to trade him. WOW!

[BearsDkills]

Yeah, i'd still be pissed if I was a Broncos fan.

[AMAN80000]

LMAO..Did anyone hear all of those no name running backs that were called up before TD. That is so crazy to think that they were considered to be better than TD.

[FinalHeavenZero]

goddamn Adam Sheftler is so annoying

TD was a beast though

[JAYCUTLER4MVP6]

1:41 napoleaon coffman lol

[Exlipse148]

lmao mike is so funny in the beginning that he dont need to see because they r goin to faek it to him... tats sum funny shit ..lol

[wesleyedwards55]

1:43 lol like wtf RASHAM SALAM??? LMFAO!!!!!!

[wesleyedwards55]

@ :40 what did he say the broncos and JE were know as?

[Jiddy12345]

big game losers

[wesleyedwards55]

thx bro

[Kettyclub]

Do somebody know, what is withTerrell Davis today? He was so hard injured, did he play ever again?

Greetings.

[carrotkris]

no he dinnt

[ginuwin794]

He is on NFL network as an analyst.

[TheHaysBoy]

ok honestly no doubht in my mind selvin young = next TD undrafted too they both did awsome in their rookie year and cant wait for this year WOOOHOO

[dnasty312]

Who's 1? Brady?

[xShadOwScOp3x]

at 1.05 he pushed his own player

[LuckCharmingShou]

i know they released Travis. i do watch NFL network however i tend not to care much about the broncos. Im a lil bit more interested in the brett favre dilema and the Jason Taylor situation. but despite losing henry can you recap, whos running for Denver...

[davewest3571]

Selvn Young, Andre Hall, Allan Aldridge, Ryan Torain

[BroncosruleISLW]

Im hoping that we can find another running back like Terrell Davis

[LuckCharmingShou]

if only denver still had him. They got travis henry =(

[WillVill28]

uh....travis henry got released like a month ago and recently tested positive for a marijuana test..where have u ben for the past few weeks? frozen? no offense just trying to give u current info

[JDDeverill10]

Best RB EVER!!!

[raspberri8]

ha in the college vid he pushed down his own teammate

[mcgaj5555]

nice video!
