Your Favorite Eric Berry Moments
Ever since Berry was drafted in 2010, he's been a fan favorite. He progressively got better every year as a Chief, and would have been a slam dunk Ring of Famer had he stayed healthy.
Since he is de facto retired, barring some miracle recovery, it's worth perhaps going over some of our favorite plays (and other things) Berry's given us over his short, great career. The thing that sticks out in my mind is "gimme that ball ELIIIII" from last year's Giants game. My favorite Berry play was probably his first career interception. I can't remember who it was against but it was deep into that fun 2010 season, he was a rookie playing very well and just hadn't secured that first INT yet. Berry caught the INT, ran around every which way for 20 minutes, then finally got tackled within 10 yards of the endzone. Flowers guided him up by the shoulder pads and the entire defense swarmed him in a confident strut. You could tell it was important to everyone, and how well liked Berry was. My dad has season tickets. He's an older man and doesn't have great eyes, but he could always tell when Berry landed the tackle. Berry was a rare form tackler in today's NFL. I'm sure you guys can think of better moments. |
When he sent that St. Louis receiver to Jesus.

He had a couple beautiful INT returns for TDs.
Best ballskills I've seen on a Chiefs DB, perhaps. Every time he had the ball, it could go for 6. |
His 2010 interception return against the Titans was a thing of beauty. One of my favorite plays ever as a fan.

That time he beat cancer

I went down to New Orleans a couple years back for the Chiefs Saints game. After a long Saturday night on Bourbon Street, I went out the next morning to grab my wife and I breakfast before the game. I walk into this hole in the wall and all of these Chiefs fans all with Berry jerseys on were having breakfast. I ordered a Bloody Mary and started to talk to one of the gentlemen. It ended up being Berry's Mom & Dad and his entire family. We had a few drinks and then I took some pictures with his parents outside. Great family- really enjoyed the experience. He will have a very strong support center during this fight!
My wife was wondering where the hell I was with breakfast! |
I like Berry, but it seems his extreme fear of horses will stick out for me.

OK, I can't find the interview/article, but it was sometime after the draft. Berry has millions in the bank, and the interviewer couldn't believe that Berry would still walk to the local discount grocery store. Not your typical NFL player.

Berry staring down the entire Baltimore ravens rb group is one of my favorite memories. He also played a heck of game that day.

Hadn't had that kind of attitude in our defense for years. |
Draft day... The most excited I've been over a draft pick ever
|
I'm not so sure we've seen the last of him on the field. From what we know about him, would it be so shocking to see him in 2016?
|
Don't remember any other than his TD in Philly last year
