00:13Michael Strahan is a guy that built his career
00:16Brick by brick
00:18Here's a kid that spent most of his youth in Germany
00:21And then he goes to Texas Southern
00:23Which is not exactly a powerhouse
00:27At Titan Texas Southern
00:29And Strahan was a powerhouse
00:31And was drafted in the second round
00:34The Giants have selected Michael Strahan
00:38Defensive end Texas Southern
00:41And he just wheeled his way through all of these different stages of life
00:46Of being one of the greatest pass rushers of his generation
00:49He was clearly one of the best
00:51If not the best of his era
00:53And I think by far the best two-way defensive end
00:56Host Reggie White
01:00When he gets on that football field
01:02He talks real greasy to you
01:08All day long
01:10You can't touch me
01:14You can't touch me
01:16And it's so funny
01:17Because he's such a nice and gregarious guy
01:19I have nothing to say
01:21But get out of my face
01:22Let me play
01:23It's my first game back
01:25It's making me nervous
01:26But on that field
01:28You are not trying to see that cat man
01:30He would tell you
01:31I'm going to whip your ass
01:33Coming up on this next series
01:41Put your ass on the ground next time Bubba
01:44Guaranteed
01:45Strahan is so good
01:46He can make a sack through the gap in his own teeth
01:52Super athletic guy
01:54Was a front floor guy
01:55Who didn't look too big
01:58But just athletic and strong
02:00And he was great
02:01And it's intercepted by Michael Strahan
02:03Touchdown
02:04Touchdown
02:07For 15 seasons
02:09Strahan called New York home
02:14Before being elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2014
02:31Now let's talk about him having the most sacks in a single season
02:35Play fake
02:36Rolls right
02:37Get sacked
02:37By Michael Strahan
02:39It's a new record
02:40Michael Strahan
02:4222 and a half sacks
02:44Breaks to Markel
02:45By Mark Gastineau
02:46Set in 1984
02:48Mario intentionally changed the play
02:51So the people
02:53The blockers
02:54Didn't know what was going on
02:56So there would be
02:56A breakdown
02:58In blocking
02:59So Strahan can sack him
03:02Brett Favre laid down
03:03But that's okay
03:04Yeah he deserves a record
03:05As long as you give Favre an assist on that
03:08Is it me or as he went down
03:09He didn't tap him to get the tackle
03:11He slipped a $20 bill in his helmet
03:13That's weird
03:14I was at that game
03:16When the quarterback
03:18Walks into you
03:19And then kneels down
03:20It's not a real sack
03:21It was a two-hand touch sack too
03:23It wasn't even a real tackle
03:24The number nine APCU player of all time
03:27Art Shell
03:30When you think of Art Shell
03:32And you start ranking these players
03:33From historically black colleges and universities
03:35Art Shell at number nine
03:36You can make a strong case that it's way too low
03:39Number nine
03:40Yeah you're probably putting him a little low there
03:42Yeah he's way too low
03:43Because this is one of the great
03:44American football lives of all time
03:46This guy does not get enough credit
03:47He started for 14 straight years
03:50For the Oakland Raiders
03:51Let that sink in
03:52I would almost want to put Art Shell a little bit higher
03:55Because not only was he a great offensive lineman
03:59Obviously a Hall of Famer
04:00But he became a pretty exceptional coach too
04:03He is a Hall of Fame player
04:05He's one of the greatest offensive linemen ever
04:08I'm a little surprised he's not in the top five
04:10Because he was a great player
04:12And broke all types of barriers
04:14In the coaching and executive realm
04:15I think it's the eye test
04:18Is why everybody's saying you should be higher
04:20He belongs on the list
04:22I don't know if he belongs higher
04:23He was a four time all pro
04:26That's pretty good
04:27It's just not
04:27I just don't think it's top five
04:32Art Shell ranks among the greatest offensive linemen
04:35No matter what list you put up
04:36Art Shell was a guy who was amazing from the word go
04:39A guy from Maryland State
04:40Now Maryland Eastern Shore
04:42To play on a small college level like that
04:44And accomplish so much with such
04:47Brutality and physicality
04:48Paving the path for those Raiders teams
04:50He's one of the all time greats
04:52A member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame
04:54Art Shell was an eight time Pro Bowl selection
04:58Two time Super Bowl champion
05:00And was voted to the NFL's all decade team of the 1970s
05:05You know when you put the silver and black uniform on
05:09You get such a surge of energy
05:11Art Shell blocking in front of you
05:13Essentially takes away half the pass rush
05:16Or more
05:16Because how are you going to get to the quarterback
05:18When Art Shell's in front
05:20Pound for pound
05:21Maybe the strongest left tackle in NFL history
05:23John Madden called Art Shell
05:25The smartest player I ever coached
05:27The combination of technician and mauler
05:29That he was really special
05:31Top five offensive linemen of all time
05:35I don't care what list you're talking about
05:37I don't care what era
05:37Art Shell has to be mentioned
05:39As one of the all time greats
05:42Not only was he a dominant player
05:44Of one of the NFL's iconic teams
05:47At one of the heights of their power
05:48But he transitioned that
05:50Into being a head coach
05:51For nearly a decade as well
05:52It's a great pleasure to be here
05:53I'm really excited about this
05:56It's coming home
05:59It's coming home to finish what it started
06:01Art played such a significant role
06:03The great Hall of Fame player obviously
06:05First African American coach in the modern era
06:08These are contributions that transcend
06:10Just on field contributions
06:17Because of what he did
06:18Not just as a player
06:19One thing you gotta understand
06:20Is the only way to play this game
06:22Is you gotta get down in the dirt
06:24And get nasty
06:25Let's go
06:25But a pioneer as the first
06:28Black head football coach in the NFL
06:30In modern days
06:30All we gotta do in our man
06:32Is just go out there
06:32And knock the hell out of him
06:33I put him right up the top of my list
06:36I think as a coach and a player
06:38And somebody like that
06:39I think that he might deserve
06:41A little bit more consideration
06:43The number 8th HBCU player of all time
06:45Jackie Slater
06:48When you hear Jackie Slater
06:50And you think of him
06:51You think of excellence
06:52If you tell me that someone
06:54Played 20 years in the NFL
06:56I'm impressed
06:56And you tell me they were 20 years
06:58As an offensive lineman
06:59I almost lose words
07:00Jackie Slater excelled for 20 seasons
07:03What more did he have to do
07:05To get higher on this list
07:07Most football fans and historians
07:10And people of some level of intelligence
07:13Would know what Jackie Slater meant for the NFL
07:15Jackie Slater may be the best pure right tackle
07:18In NFL history
07:21Freeze
07:25When Eric Dickerson came into the league in 1983
07:28He set the NFL single season rushing record
07:32For a rookie
07:32The following year
07:34He set the NFL single season rushing record
07:36He's got it
07:37And a brand new single season rushing record
07:40And a big reason why
07:42Was because of the offensive line
07:43Of the Los Angeles Rams
07:45And Jackie Slater
07:46Was a huge part of it
07:47Dickerson pops up
07:48To the middle of the 40
07:49To the 30
07:49To the 20
07:50To the 10
07:51To the 5
07:51Touchdown
07:53It was like deja vu for me
07:54Because I played with Walter Payton in college
07:57And I remember
07:58Dang it
07:59He beat me to it
08:00I was just about to say
08:02He blocked for Walter Payton in college
08:03For 3 years
08:05When the scouts would come down to Jackson State
08:07They figured the guy was having some success
08:09Because of someone
08:10After blocking for Walter Payton at Jackson State
08:13Slater was drafted in the 3rd round in 96
08:16And helped the Rams game flourish for 2 decades
08:20Blocked for so many good running games
08:23Like for Charles White
08:24When Charles White had all of those yards in 1987
08:30A guy named Elvis Peacock
08:32Managed 4.7 yards per carry
08:35Behind Jackie Slater's line
08:36Who is Elvis Peacock?
08:41When you talk about longevity
08:42In professional sports
08:44That's a huge thing
08:45He's playing against Terry Bradshaw
08:47In the Super Bowl
08:48Then blocks for Eric Dickerson
08:51Then ends up blocking for Jerome Bettis
08:54Jerome Bettis
08:55The rookie out of Notre Dame
08:56Like lightning
08:57Into the end zone
08:58Think about that
09:00And to continue to do your job
09:02For 2 decades
09:03At 1 position
09:04And at that position
09:05Puts him in a whole different category
09:10Jackie Slater's longevity is ridiculous
09:12And he was so good
09:13He played for the Rams
09:14In the LA Coliseum
09:15He played for the
09:16Anaheim Stadium
09:17And Bush Stadium
09:18This is a guy that came up in the 70s
09:21And left in the 90s
09:25The number 7 HBCU player of all time
09:28Doug Williams
09:30You can't write the history
09:34Are we serious?
09:36A non-Hall of Famer above Hall of Famers?
09:39No way
09:40Without Doug Williams
09:42Doug is another guy that
09:43You know, just changed the course of history
09:45Prior to Doug Williams
09:47Coming to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
09:49There was this stigma
09:50That black quarterbacks weren't smart
09:52Black quarterbacks could not take instruction
09:55Black quarterbacks could not be leaders
09:57Doug Williams destroyed all that immediately
09:59He comes in at a time
10:01Where still black quarterbacks
10:03Were not widely accepted
10:05And the Buccaneers
10:06Were just a couple of years removed
10:07From being an expansion team
10:09And an 0-14 expansion team
10:11And he takes over a quarterback
10:13And immediately gives credibility
10:15To the offense
10:16Just getting them from a spot
10:18Of being 0-2 years
10:20To go to an NFC Championship game
10:230-14 in 76
10:25To the NFC Championship game in 1979
10:28I think is a pretty remarkable accomplishment
10:30When he turned that franchise
10:32From a laughing stock
10:33Into a winning organization
10:34It was with an African American
10:37Playing in the most important leadership role
10:40On a team
10:40That sent a message
10:42Not only to the NFL
10:43But to colleges
10:45To youth football
10:46To kids that needed someone to look up to
10:49Yeah, it was a big, big deal
10:53After leading the Bucs
10:54To the NFC Championship game
10:56The former first-round pick from Grambling
10:58Finished his career with the Redskins
11:00Where he played
11:02One of the most memorable games
11:03In NFL history
11:05My memories of his performance in Super Bowl XXII
11:08Is that, you know, there were probably three camps there
11:10You know, one camp that was saying
11:12I hope he wins
11:13One was saying
11:14I don't think he can win
11:16And then there was a third group saying
11:18I hope he doesn't win
11:19And I'm not talking about
11:20Because they were football fans
11:22I'm talking about race
11:23From hearing the ignorant questions
11:25To, you know, when did you know you were
11:27African American quarterback
11:29Seriously, like, did you know?
11:31You know, the most important thing about this
11:32You know, Joe Gibbs by the Batman
11:34Jack King-Cook
11:35Didn't bring Doug Williams to San Diego
11:37To show off a black quarterback
11:39We know why we came here
11:41We came here to work hard
11:42And win the Super Bowl
11:43In a sense
11:43It really kind of captured
11:45What the world was like for Doug Williams
11:47Because people viewed him
11:49As a black quarterback
11:51More so than just a quarterback
11:53The world was looking at this man
11:56And put a heavy weight on his shoulders
11:58And he knew it
11:59And to be able to go in there
12:01And carry that weight
12:02Says a lot about the man's character
12:06That second quarter is one
12:07That will just go down as magic
12:09You talk about getting into a zone
12:11I mean, that was it
12:12In the second quarter
12:13Williams threw for 228 yards
12:16And four touchdowns
12:18When he won the Super Bowl
12:20It's like, yo, we can still
12:21We can do this
12:22And for the first time
12:23It felt like
12:24Here is an African American
12:26That we can look up to
12:28Who is at the pinnacle of his sport
12:30And no one can do anything about it
12:32I would go so far to say that
12:34Doug Williams' performance
12:35Is either 1A or 1B or 1C
12:38Given the entire circumstances
12:40The most valuable player
12:41Of Super Bowl 22
12:43Is quarterback
12:45I think that's ridiculous
12:48He didn't throw six touchdowns
12:52Doug Williams with a Washington Redskill
12:54The first black quarterback
12:56To start a Super Bowl
12:57The first black quarterback
12:58To win a Super Bowl
12:59Tell you what
13:00I hope Doug Williams does
13:01I hope he puts the band
13:02Once and for all
13:04About the black athlete
13:05In professional football
13:07Until Tom Brady came around
13:09I mean, that was the
13:10Performance you always look at
13:11As the seminal Super Bowl performance
13:15Watching Doug Williams
13:16I mean, he opened the doors for many
13:18To see him doing it
13:19Going against him
13:19Defying the odds
13:20Of getting it done
13:21Dude, come on, man
13:22I mean, that was special
13:24And every time I see him
13:25It's always Mr. Williams
13:26All the time
13:31Player of all time
13:33Willie Brown
13:34I just always love
13:37Any excuse to talk about
13:38Willie Brown
13:39Willie Brown
13:40Was such a great corner
13:41And he played cornerback
13:43For 16 years in the NFL
13:44Which is an amazing feat in itself
13:46At a grambling state
13:47In one of the iconic HBC
13:48He played for nine years
13:51In the NFL
13:53The rest was in the AFL
13:54He played pro football
13:56For 16 years
13:58So already there's a heritage
14:00And a prestige
14:01That comes with him
14:02Is it difficult to be
14:03Snubbed by both leagues
14:04The AFL and the NFL
14:06And become a star
14:07It happens
14:08And that's when you have
14:10True greatness
14:10I don't care how you slice it
14:12How many excuses we make
14:14Undrafted by both leagues
14:15Yet you're in the Hall of Fame
14:17That's worthy of not just a TV movie
14:19That's a full length feature
14:24Undrafted out of grambling
14:25Willie Brown
14:26Was a nine time pro bowler
14:28A five time first team all pro
14:30And is a member of both
14:32The AFL all time team
14:34And the NFL's all decade team
14:36Of the 1970s
14:37I think that Willie
14:39Was one of these guys
14:40Who was just such a fantastic athlete
14:42And Al Davis really wanted to play
14:44This bump and run style of defense
14:46He was doing bump and run
14:47Before we were talking about bump and run
14:50Well you had to be pretty strong and physical
14:52To be able to do that
14:53And Willie could
14:54Willie Brown was by the book
14:56Textbook defensive back play
14:58He was a bigger man
14:59Who could use his hands
15:01And control and reroute receivers
15:03And then run with them
15:05Old man Willie was just this guy
15:06That would be at the line of scrimmage
15:08Knock his wide receiver off their stride
15:10And then stay with him
15:11You just didn't throw the ball near Willie
15:13Consistency
15:14Every single Sunday
15:16He was going to be a lockdown defender
15:19He gambled
15:20But he gambled intelligently
15:21I mean he would take chances
15:23But he rarely got burned on them
15:25I mean the play where he picks off
15:26Fran Tarkenton in the Super Bowl
15:28Was a play where it was just really
15:30An anticipation play
15:33To me the moment that I think of
15:35Is Super Bowl XI
15:36And the pick six touchdown
15:38A then Super Bowl record
15:3975 yarder that he streaks back for a score
15:42That I think we've seen replayed a hundred times
15:46Well thanks to NFL films
15:47The iconic play we all have of Willie Brown
15:50Is Old Man Willie
15:52He's going all the way
15:55Old Man Willie
15:56Old Man Willie
16:00That's just like one of the greatest NFL films
16:03Sound bites
16:06Moments
16:06Pieces of footage ever
16:08The camera is just looking
16:10Right at his face
16:11You know every little contortion
16:13And every emotion that he's running through
16:17Look at the Oakland Raiders joining him
16:19They're coming off the bench
16:21They're moving him down in the end zone
16:23That was one of the great things
16:24That the Sables did with NFL films
16:27They really made football personal
16:30If you're going to take one signature play
16:31For Willie's career
16:32That's probably it
16:33And it sort of combines everything there
16:35Is the great anticipation
16:36The daring
16:37And then the ability to pull it off
16:38And now the number 5 HBCU player of all time
16:42Willie Lanier
16:44Willie Lanier
16:46Was as heavy a hitter
16:48As you'll find
16:49Well his nickname was Contact
16:51So that kind of gives you an idea
16:53Good shape baby
17:20He was a contact player
17:22Willie Lanier put the fear of God in you
17:24I mean he was as big as some defensive lineman
17:26And when he would come up and fill the hole
17:28Believe me
17:28He filled the hole
17:29His hits were so impactful
17:30So violent
17:31That he was one of the few players of that era
17:34That got extra padding from the team
17:36But not
17:36Big enough
17:37Good enough
17:37To play in any era
17:39And
17:40He got padding
17:43To protect the opponent
17:45Inside his helmet
17:46Outside of his helmet
17:48To help the opponent
17:49Receiving the blows that he would give him
17:51He was absolutely dominant
17:52Quarterback of the defense
17:54And a team leader
17:55He was extremely well respected
17:56Whatever the assignment called for
17:58As a middle linebacker
17:59He could do it
18:02He was 245
18:04At a time when most middle linebackers
18:06Were 225, 230
18:07And he could still play sideline to sideline
18:10He was so long
18:11And so tall
18:12And so
18:13His leverage was so unbelievable
18:14If you put together a highlight reel
18:16Of some of the biggest hits of that time
18:18Willie would be in on a lot of them
18:20A second round draft pick
18:21Out of Morgan State
18:22Willie Lanier
18:23Was an eight-time all-pro
18:25And was named to the NFL's
18:2775th anniversary all-time team
18:29I think of his style of play
18:32As being this
18:32Just this crouched position
18:34Kind of
18:34Where he would explode
18:35And when he would explode
18:37He would explode hard
18:39When he got to a ball carrier
18:40It wasn't just a tackle
18:42It was an explosion
18:46At the time
18:47I don't know that the world
18:48Was realizing
18:49What a milestone event that was
18:50When Willie Lanier
18:51Became an African-American
18:53Starting at middle linebacker
18:54That's the quarterback of defense
18:55There was a perception
18:56At the time
18:57That certain positions
18:59Required more intelligence
19:00And maybe
19:00Black players weren't up to it
19:02Willie Lanier
19:03Proved that theory wrong
19:05One of the smartest
19:06And most important
19:07Defensive players
19:08In his era
19:09To have a black player
19:10Play middle linebacker
19:11And play not just on
19:13As a starter on a team
19:15But on a
19:15World championship team
19:17A Super Bowl championship team
19:18Is as historic
19:20I think in the game
19:22As a quarterback
19:23Like Doug Williams
19:24Winning the Super Bowl
19:32What a moment
19:33For all of the Kansas City Chiefs
19:35They're beating the best
19:36That the NFL has to offer
19:38Out here today
19:39They had five of the 11 starters
19:41Who were in the Hall of Fame
19:42And yet there was never
19:44Any question
19:44As much greatness
19:45As there was
19:46On that defense
19:47There was never any question
19:48About who the leader was
19:50I mean that's the definition
19:51Of greatness
19:52The number four
19:53HBCU player of all time
19:55Mel Blunt
19:59Oh of his era
20:00Right at the top
20:01How can you argue
20:02If anybody was better
20:03I mean he was just
20:03That dominant
20:04He was
20:08Unbelievable
20:12You have no idea
20:13Like watching him play
20:14It was like grace
20:15It was like
20:16It was a thing of beauty
20:17All he did
20:18Was make plays
20:20And he winds up
20:21And throws
20:22Intercepted by Blunt
20:23At the 20
20:24Mel Blunt
20:25Came up on the interception
20:26We're just about
20:27Simply erasing people
20:28You know
20:28We talk about it all the time
20:29Now can you find
20:30That lockdown corner
20:31Takes away half the field
20:32Mel Blunt
20:33Was a forerunner of that
20:34He just doesn't look like
20:35The guys we look like now
20:36Because of his size
20:37Whenever it mattered
20:39Mel Blunt
20:40Came through
20:41He made every play
20:43Ever
20:43That came his way
20:44He never missed
20:45He was a can't miss
20:47Surefire Hall of Famer
20:48I love Mel Blunt
20:53Mel Blunt
20:55This is one big guy
20:56Out there
20:57And when you're
20:58Lining up as a receiver
20:59And you're facing
21:00Mel Blunt
21:01You know
21:01You better bring
21:02Your lunch pail
21:02He was the biggest
21:03Corner I ever saw
21:05That could light you up
21:07Like a middle linebacker
21:08I mean he literally
21:09Hit like Jack Lambert
21:10And then you see
21:11Mel Blunt
21:12Walk around
21:13And you're like
21:14Oh what NBA team
21:15Did he play for
21:15Oh he played
21:16Cornerback
21:17For the Steelers
21:18Drafted in the third round
21:20From Southern University
21:22Mel Blunt
21:23Played 14 seasons
21:24For the Pittsburgh Steelers
21:26A key component
21:27Of the famed
21:28Steel Curtain defense
21:29Blunt was named
21:31The NFL's
21:31Defensive Player
21:32Of the Year
21:33In 1975
21:36He looks like what a
21:37Modern day linebacker
21:39Maybe even for some
21:40Defensive animals
21:41He is a massive
21:43Strong man
21:44And to think that
21:45He was out at corner
21:46And guys were trying
21:47To get off the line
21:47Of scrimmage
21:48He would hit
21:49Guys at the line
21:50Of scrimmage
21:50Coming off the line
21:51And just take them
21:52Out of the play
21:52He was so big
21:53He was so physical
21:54You just couldn't
21:55Really get any air
21:57Against him
22:00And so the league goes
22:02That guy's really good
22:03We have to kind of
22:04Do something about it
22:05It's kind of like
22:06Not allowing
22:06Wilt Chamberlain
22:07To dunk
22:07We can't allow you
22:09To do what you've
22:10Been doing
22:11For your entire career
22:12It's too effective
22:14And it got to the point
22:15Where they
22:16It still didn't work
22:18Literally had to make
22:19The rule change
22:20You know
22:20The five yard separation
22:21He was just that
22:22Devastating
22:23And that big
22:24And dominant
22:24Of a player
22:25When you get a rule
22:26Because you're too dominant
22:29That's when you're
22:30An icon
22:30That's when you are
22:31An all timer
22:32That's when you are
22:32A hall of famer
22:40Might as well call it
22:41The Mel Blount rule
22:42Because he did it
22:44You talk about a rule
22:45Being made
22:46And named after you
22:47That kind of tells you
22:48How good you are right
22:48Mel Blount was a game changer
22:50Hall of famer
22:52Play maker
22:53Touchdown maker
22:54Hitter
22:55I'd let Mel Blount
22:56Sleep with my wife
22:58The number three
22:59HBCU player of all time
23:01Deacon Jones
23:04It starts with the eyes
23:06When you can just
23:07Intimidate people
23:08With your eyes
23:08And you've got
23:09Something going there
23:10I love Deacon Jones
23:11Because I'm scared
23:12Of Deacon Jones
23:13When you think
23:14About Deacon Jones
23:14You think of a guy
23:15That is the epitome
23:17Of being an intimidator
23:19Deacon Jones
23:20Was also
23:22In that violent
23:23Gentlemen's club
23:24And Deacon
23:25Literally
23:26Put the fear of God
23:28Into whoever he played against
23:30I love Deacon Jones
23:31Because Deacon Jones
23:32Haunts my nightmares
23:33Those dudes like that man
23:35They can't make those anymore
23:38I didn't invent it
23:40I didn't invent the head slap
23:41I perfected it
23:43Okay
23:43Rembrandt didn't invent painting
23:45Either
23:46The signature definition
23:48For Deacon Jones
23:49Was the head slap
23:50Anytime you go
23:52Upside a man's head
23:53They have a tendency
23:53To blink their eyes
23:54Or close their eyes
23:55And that was all I needed
23:57Drafted in the 14th round
23:58Out of Mississippi Valley State
24:00Deacon Jones
24:01Dominated for 14 seasons
24:03And many believe
24:04He is the greatest
24:05Defensive end
24:06Of all time
24:08Deacon Jones
24:09Was as dominant
24:10A defensive lineman
24:11As the games
24:12Ever going to see
24:13The Deacon
24:14Is Reggie White
24:15Before Reggie White
24:16To me Deacon Jones
24:17Was probably the greatest
24:18Defensive end
24:19Who ever played the game
24:20What I loved about
24:21Deacon Jones
24:22It was like
24:23I'm going to walk up to you
24:24And just slap you
24:26And just show you
24:26You can't do nothing about it
24:28And by the way
24:28I'm going to make the play
24:29That's why I love
24:30Watching old NFL films
24:32And you were like
24:33Good God
24:34Man this dude
24:34This dude is going to hit anybody
24:36When you look back at film
24:37And
24:38This man had two
24:3920-sack seasons
24:41In a row
24:43Unofficially
24:43When they threw the ball
24:4515 times a game
24:48Guys
24:48I did
24:4915 sacks now
24:50When they
24:52Face like
24:53600 pass attempts
24:54We called them
24:56An all pro
24:57Go get
24:5820
24:59In 14 game seasons
25:01Then we can
25:03Compare you
25:03To Deacon Jones
25:11In the modern NFL
25:13Deacon Jones
25:14Would excel today
25:15He would actually be
25:16One of the best players
25:17Of all time
25:18Even if he played
25:19Right now
25:20Dave Jones
25:21Is in to drop him
25:22For a 17 yard loss
25:24Deacon Jones
25:25I'm going to snap you
25:27And you can't do nothing about it
25:29Deacon Jones
25:30Right now
25:31Would get 10 sacks
25:33In the NFL
25:34And he's been dead
25:36Since 2013
25:38Talking to me about
25:39Prime Deacon Jones
25:45Before Deacon Jones
25:47Came along
25:47When a defensive lineman
25:49Would dump the quarterback
25:50For a loss
25:51That's pretty much
25:52What they called it
25:52Then Deacon Jones
25:54Came along
25:54And they coined the term
25:55The sack
25:56Sacking the quarterback
25:57Is just like
25:58Like you
25:59Like you devastate a city
26:01Or you cream
26:01Or you cream
26:03A multitude of people
26:04I mean it's just like
26:05Like you put all
26:06Offensive players
26:07In one bag
26:08And I just take a
26:09Baseball bat
26:10And beat on the bag
26:11Just think if we could count
26:12Deacon Jones' actual sack totals
26:15In the all time
26:16NFL sack totals
26:17I have a feeling
26:18They put everyone else's
26:19To shame
26:19The sack
26:20Didn't become an official stat
26:21Until 1982
26:22But Deacon has been
26:24Unofficially credited
26:25With 173 and a half
26:27Of them
26:28Which would rank third
26:29On the all time list
26:31When you think about
26:32That term
26:32And the magic
26:33Behind that word
26:34It's so fitting
26:36For Deacon Jones
26:37Because he was
26:38Such a charismatic figure
26:42And you combine
26:43Phenomenal talent
26:44With good perspective
26:46And hard work
26:47And commitment
26:48You come up with
26:48Deacon Jones
26:50I don't think that
26:50There should be a number two
26:52I don't think there should
26:53Be a number three
26:53I think there should be
26:54A 1A
26:55A 1B
26:56And a 1C
26:57And I would never
26:58Tell Deacon Jones
26:59He doesn't belong
26:59In the top three
27:00In fact you tell
27:01Deacon Jones
27:01He didn't make
27:02Number one or number two
27:03Because I'm out on that
27:04Deacon Jones
27:06Was one for the ages
27:10Player of all time
27:12Walter Payton
27:15His name is Sweetness
27:17That's what they call him
27:18He's just sweet
27:20I mean I think
27:21Sweetness is the perfect
27:22Name for him
27:23Sweetness
27:24And I have to go
27:25With Sweetness
27:26Mr. Walter Payton
27:27I would have no problem
27:28The NFL
27:29Retired 34
27:30Across the league
27:31Even now
27:32You hear people
27:33Talk about Walter Payton
27:35There's even a
27:35Walter Payton award
27:36He encapsulated
27:37Everything that you
27:38Want a football player
27:39To be
27:39Sweetness was Sweetness
27:40And the guy
27:41Is just total legend
27:47Walter Payton
27:47Was never supposed
27:49To be that good
27:50Jackson State
27:51It was a bit of a reach
27:52To go to an all black
27:53School and get this kid
27:54Named Payton
27:55With the fourth pick
27:55Overall in the draft
27:56But the thing about Walter
27:57Is that there was nothing
27:59On a football field
28:00That he couldn't do
28:01For 13 seasons
28:02Walter Payton
28:03Ran around
28:06Through
28:09And over opponents
28:12A member of both
28:14A member of both the 1970s
28:15And 80s NFL
28:16All decade teams
28:17Number 34
28:19Retired as the league's
28:20All time leading rusher
28:22High formation
28:23Quick pitch to Walter
28:24Looking for the record
28:25Cuts back
28:26He's got it
28:27He's got it
28:2725 to the 26 yard line
28:30Walter Payton
28:31Because the national football league
28:33All time
28:34Leading rusher
28:35Are passing Jim Brown
28:36So that's the equivalent
28:38To Hank Aaron
28:39Breaking favorite
28:40All time home run record
28:41Walter Payton
28:43Is the best
28:45Of all time
28:46He is the GOAT
28:47He was just so smooth
28:48When he came out of those cuts
28:49Walter Payton
28:50Was the best athlete
28:51To ever play the position
28:52This is a player
28:53That combined
28:54Skill
28:54Agility
28:55And grace
28:56With the ability
28:57To run straight down your throat
28:58You see him
28:59Accelerate
29:00Through people
29:01Think about every time
29:02He put his head down
29:03Slammed into a linebacker
29:05Think about every time
29:06He could have walked out of bounds
29:07And instead
29:08Took on a tackler
29:12When Walter decided
29:13He wasn't going to be stopped
29:14He wasn't stopped
29:18Man when you watch
29:19The NFL films footage
29:21Of him running up
29:22The side of that hill
29:23And you know
29:24He's doing that
29:25Every day of the offseason
29:27That just tells you
29:28Everything
29:29About what made him great
29:31He brought an attitude
29:32To the game
29:33And a desire to succeed
29:34That wasn't common
29:35In the league period
29:36Walter Payton
29:37Was the toughest
29:38He never lost
29:40A one on one
29:41Man to man battle
29:44Even when you managed
29:45To tackle Walter Payton
29:47You felt him more
29:48Than he did
29:50Best running back ever
29:52He fought for every inch
29:54I mean he ran violently
29:56Walter Payton delivered a blow
29:58Like no running back
29:59I'd ever seen at the time
30:00He had a stiff arm
30:01The stiff arm
30:02Had kind of left the game
30:03In the 50s and the 60s
30:04He brought that back
30:05He's running over defensive linemen
30:07And linebackers too
30:09That are weighing by
30:1030 to 70 pounds
30:13Choices when you're a running back
30:15You can run around somebody
30:16You can run through them
30:17I feel like Walter
30:18Embraced and enjoyed
30:19Running through people
30:21Walter liked to deliver blows
30:22More than receive them
30:25Walter Payton
30:26He played with absolutely nobody
30:28So you know
30:29Every defensive coordinator
30:31Knew that all you had to do
30:33Was stop Walter Payton
30:34And you couldn't do it
30:36Let me tell you something
30:37About Walter Payton
30:38You would get the defense
30:39Like see that guy
30:40Yeah
30:40Tackle Payton
30:41And Walter Payton
30:42Would be like
30:42They're giving me the ball
30:44They're giving me the ball
30:45And then he would run
30:4630 yards past everyone
30:47Walter Payton's personal motto
30:50Never die easy
30:52That just defines every run
30:55Of his entire career
30:56And a lot of guys
30:58That went against Walter
30:59Made business decisions
31:01And those business decisions
31:02Was like
31:03This ain't worth it
31:04Let me attempt to tackle him
31:06But let me just move out his way
31:07Slightly enough
31:08Where it doesn't hurt me as bad
31:10And I hope
31:11That the cavalry is coming
31:12We can jump on
31:13Never die easy
31:15Was essentially
31:16Every hit
31:17And every run
31:18And every play
31:19Of his NFL career
31:19If he's number two
31:20Will he tell me
31:21Who number one is
31:22If Walter Payton
31:23Is number two
31:23I know who number one is
31:25And now
31:26The number one
31:27HBCU player of all time
31:29Jerry Rice
31:30I know who number one
31:32On the list is
31:33Out of Mississippi Valley
31:35His name
31:36Is Jerry Rice
31:38Any list that has
31:39Jerry Rice on it
31:40You have to put
31:40Jerry Rice first
31:41Jerry Rice should be
31:42Number one on this list
31:44Because of his talent
31:45Because of the numbers
31:46He put up
31:46When you think about
31:48Jerry Rice
31:48A lot of people think
31:49He was the greatest player
31:50In NFL history
31:51When you look at
31:52Jerry Rice's career
31:53How can you
31:54You know dispute
31:55That this guy is number one
31:56Greatest player of all time
31:57Jerry Rice isn't just
31:59The greatest football player
32:00From historically black colleges
32:01Jerry Rice is the
32:02Greatest football player
32:03Period
32:05Yep
32:06And then to think
32:07That he came from
32:08Mississippi Valley State
32:10Really makes you appreciate
32:11His rise to prominence
32:13Even more
32:14Mississippi Valley State
32:15I mean are you kidding me
32:16I mean who comes from
32:17Mississippi Valley State
32:18To play in the
32:19National Football League
32:20The word on Jerry Rice
32:21When he came out of
32:21Mississippi Valley State
32:23Incredibly exciting
32:24Electric player
32:26Did things that
32:27You had to actually
32:28Look up
32:29Like that really happened
32:30He caught that many passes
32:32Like most kids
32:33The greatest wide receiver
32:34Ever to play the game
32:35Grew up playing catch
32:37With his father
32:38But Rice's pop
32:39Wasn't passing pigskins
32:41And then you hear
32:42His story about how
32:43He developed his hands
32:44Because he caught bricks
32:46From his father
32:47On construction jobs
32:48Yo Jerry's the best
32:49He caught bricks
32:50Jerry Rice came up
32:52Catching bricks
32:53Said his daddy
32:54Would just toss bricks
32:55Down off the roof
32:56For him to catch
32:57It's easy to catch a football
32:59After you've been caught a brick
33:00And if you're catching bricks
33:01For 11
33:01You better have good hands
33:03Because if you catch it wrong
33:04It's going to hurt
33:05Jerry Rice is so good
33:07I'm trying to figure out
33:08Why more daddies
33:08Don't make their kids
33:09Catch bricks too
33:13Man, listen
33:14The hardest working man
33:16In the history
33:16Of the NFL
33:18One of the things
33:18That really stands out
33:19About him
33:20Is his work ethic
33:21Taking every rap
33:22In practice
33:23Catching the ball
33:24And taking it
33:25To the end zone
33:25Every time
33:26It's little things like that
33:27Is what separates you
33:28He's going to do it
33:29The right way
33:30Every single time
33:31Make the catch
33:32Go 30, 40, 50 yards
33:33Downfield
33:34Get into the end zone
33:34Come back
33:36Do it again
33:36And he would be out there
33:37Before practice
33:38He'd be out there
33:39After practice
33:40Jerry Rice was the guy
33:41That practiced
33:41That wasn't practice
33:42If there was a day off
33:43He would still practice
33:44It was just a treat
33:46To watch Jerry Rice
33:48Work and practice
33:49Every day
33:50Nobody got more
33:51Out of themselves
33:52Over the course of their life
33:53Than Jerry Rice
33:54Because he worked
33:55Tirelessly
33:56He trained harder
33:57Than everybody
33:58He worked harder
33:59Than everybody
33:59He caught more touchdowns
34:01Than anybody
34:01Everything that he gets
34:03He deserves
34:04Because he worked
34:05So hard for it
34:09I am more than fine
34:10With Jerry Rice
34:11Being number one
34:11So he's got to be number one
34:12Because he's
34:13The greatest wide receiver ever
34:14He's arguably
34:15The greatest football player ever
34:17Nobody argues
34:18Who the greatest
34:19Wide receiver is
34:20To me
34:20He's not just number one
34:21On this list
34:22He's number one
34:23On all lists
34:24For all football players
34:25Ever
34:26I feel like
34:26When you put
34:27All the other
34:28Hall of Famers
34:28Around him
34:29I feel like
34:30They all look up to him
34:31And realize
34:31That he was the best
34:34Watches it
34:34For the end zone
34:35Jerry Rice
34:36He must be
34:37The greatest receiver
34:38He's a bad man
34:40This show
34:41Could really be
34:41The best players
34:43Of all time
34:43We don't have to be
34:44The best players
34:45From historically
34:46Black colleges
34:47I mean the best
34:48Wide receiver
34:49The best running back
34:50The best defensive end
34:51I think we have it
34:52All right here
34:53In this show
34:54Huh
34:54Argu
34:55Are
