Football The most underrated and forgotten....

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.

Imagine Jim Brown at FB and this guy his RB...

He played along side Brown for four season averaging 5.4 a carry.

He would return 3 punts and 3 kickoffs to score in his Browns days. He ran back 2 more kickoffs as a Redskins WR, a Hall of Famer.

Trivia

What RB did Paul Brown mention trading Jim Brown for?

This guy just might be the most forgotten/lost in obscurity GREAT RB there is.

Bob Hayes was recruited to Florida A&M by Galimore.

You seem to have problems.

I Think I'm A Prick

Over the course of this week I've been reflecting on my behaviors and overall general attitude and emotional well being over the last few months. It's clearly declining, certainly here, and I don't like it. Not to sound like a faerie, but this site was a great find for me and has been a big part of my life for quite some time. I've made IRL friends here, I made online friends and, like it or not, you guys (and Ladies) are a part of my life. I've taken that for granted.

So this thread is not to make David feel better or anything. Rather it is to let everyone know that I recognize this and am changing course toward the David that used to be and the David I want to be.

But not before I offer apologies to anyone I may have crossed. I know there's a few.

Peace out.

I just talk football, don't get all wrapped up with posters until they get funky.

I think you're all overlooking Stump Mitchell, RB for the St. Louis Cardinals. Great balance, vision, and durability. Now the RB coach for the Cleveland Browns.

Put some respeck on his name.

BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He was out of The Citadel, he belongs in this thread! Cool first name...Lyvonia.

Ubeja Vontell · 03-13-2020, 06:20 AM

Staying with birds.....

....he was out of Ball State, another forgotten stud Timmy Brown.

He was a good looking guy, had some work in Hollywood after football.

Ubeja Vontell · 03-13-2020, 07:25 AM

He gets forgotten....

Same story here....

I would kick your behind in the 100m dash.

Do you understand a 100m? This ain't the 40, here speed endurance is the key, do you get any of this?

What seperated Usain Bolt from everyone else? He spent less time decellerating, why..........come on why?

Being this thread is about running back, give me the fastest RB to ever play in the NFL (won't count Bob Hayes, he was a WR in the pros) And won't count Trindon Holliday, he was just a kick returner in the pros, which was a big mistake.

Hint

While in college he was the only NFL RB (to be) who was ever world ranked at 100m.

Ram RB Ollie Matson was world ranked at 400m, an Olympic medal will do that.

I’m unfamiliar with 100 meters. I’m new to the metric system, as well any system used for weights and measures. Is the 100m dash the event where you throw the discus with the pole fault?

You got it amigo

Texas A&M's Curtis Dickey is the fastest NFL RB ever, he has ran a 10.10.

BUT...the fastest RB ever was a HS kid named Houston McTear out of Baker HS in Florida. As a junior he ran a 9.0 for yards to tie the WR. Averaged over 13 yards a carry, and here he is.

Here he's beating the great Jamaican sprinter Don Quarrie.

I still bang the drum for James Brooks. I think he's hugely underrated in NFL history.

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.

Kenny was Easley nominated to go into the HOF.
