Football The most underrated and forgotten.... - Page 2

Ubeja Vontell · 03:10 AM

.....running back.

A 25-10 long jumper*** while at Long Beach State, his son Eric an NCAA Champion 27-8 the best ever by an NFLer to be.

Three time pro bowler.

Speaking of Eric....

The guy returned 10 punts to score, wow!

Father/son RB's....

The Barbers
The Sanders

Brothers

Walter/Eddie Payton
Art/Benny Malone
Gale/Ron Sayers
Jewerl /Ken Thomas....a Chief

Another forgotten but great RB

Duane Thomas his blocking back while at West Texas State, a school that has given the pro rasslin' biz about a dozen Buffalo footballers turn rasslers.

Only Jim Brown and Bobby Mitchell (Big10 sprint/hurdles champ) on a par with the thunder & lightnin' we saw with Larry Csonka & Mercury Morris.

When Jim Brown walked away from pro football for Hollywood the Browns had a punt returner named Leroy Kelly......

***about what baseball legend Jackie Robinson jumped while at Pasadena City, his older bro Mack a 1936 Olympic 200m silver medalist.

Among non-Chiefs, James Brooks and Kenny Easley were two guys that I thought didn't get the credit they deserved. I was delighted to see Easley go into the Hall of Fame. He was the best strong safety the NFL has ever seen.

I can't find a good video for Brooks, sucks!

I totally agree he was a stud especially for his size. Far stronger than he should have been at that size.

Kenny Easley UCLA's Ronnie Lott, the guy was a ultra stud, I need a video.

Can't wait for the Elroy "Crazy Legs" Hirsch thread...........

Maybe not underrated but most certainly forgotten by today's fans: Hugh McElhenny. I can remember watching this man in action for the 49ers back in the day; simply one of the best.

Hugh "The King" McElhenny, a Cali State hurdles champion.

He is and always has been the greatest white running back, and if not for sharing carries with the great Joe Perry his numbers would have been a lot better. The guy had it all.

Then there was "Jaguar" Jon Arnett a 24 foot long jumper at USC.

I think guys like Natrone Means, Rickey Watters, and Deuce McAlister are criminally underrated...

Jesse mutha****in Haynes! Don’t argue with me, you’re wrong!

I agree with Watters and McAllister but,....Means only average 3.7 a carry for his career, and only had one season where he averaged 4,0.

Training camp legend from Northern Iowa that was all hype in Chiefs training camp back in the day.

Anyway I hate to give credit to a donk but Sammy Winder. The name alone makes you think of a guy with a bunch of spin moves.

Bearcats (whatever that is) no.2 all time single season rusher. I always thought his signing was some kind of local marketing.

Winder never had one season where he averaged over 3.9. But, he was tuff!
