When Dion played for the Cowboys , he was so good in the defensive backfield that the other teams just wouldn’t throw his way. Which essentially cut the field in half. I remember one game when the opponents threw three balls to his side of the field and Sanders intercepted two of them and knocked the other one down.

The problem with Bo Jackson was his incredible power. Experts said if he was a less powerful athlete he wouldn't have sheared his hip like he did and would've been fine.

I just dont see BO Jackson career continuing even with modern time medicine. His hip injury was nothing short of catastrophic. It not only destroyed his NFL career but it did the same to his MLB career.

I know he is not big, but Barry Sanders might be the greatest freak of nature ever to play in the NFL for that reason. He may very well have been the NFL’s most dangerous, most unstoppable player ever. He instilled fear in defensive players and coaches weekly because of his freakish abilities to instantly change direction on a dime, stop and start, reach full speed in a couple of steps, and move around the field like he had radar built into his head. THE most unique, freakishly talented player I have ever seen play.

Jim Brown didn't just dominate on the football field - he's also had an impressive acting career over the years.

Yes u need to do a Moss reaction. For his position he is if not the very best he is in my opinion in the top three. He is lanky, Has jumps, speed and hands that can catch about anything u throw at him. And he started off with the Vikings in MN *where I live* and learned a few things from an NFL Hall of Fame Receiver Chris Carter who was known for making unbelievable catches, esp stretched out over the sideline one handed catches. The Vikings and most teams that had Moss had a play called Moss go and get it. Basically Moss was to run deep and the QB was to throw the ball as freaking far as he could and Moss was to go play catch. And it worked really well. And as GREAT as Moss was he could have put up WAY bigger numbers but he had an attitude, on and off the field.

If you want to see a beast that terrified any offensive line. Check out Lawrence Taylor. He really tried to take quarterbacks out of the game. He actually ended the career of at least one.

Kabir, My favorite NFL player is Earl Campbell. I feel so bad for Earl because I think he was one of the best POWER Backs in NFL history yet he never won a Super Bowl and he can barely walk today. Please review this great man.

Did u know that Bo Jackson and Dion Sanders played each other in both Pro Football and Pro Baseball? And as Sanders tells it in FB he went to get Bo and he got to Bo and Bo stiff armed him to the ground. In Baseball Bo hit a home run over Sanders head and they show Sanders jumping up at the fence trying to get it and he went about mid way down to his waist to try to get it and didn't come close.

As a Michigander I’m used to the lions being bad, we have one playoff win in the past 30 years. but Calvin Johnson aka Megatron was the one bright spot for us lions fans for a while. Along with Barry Sanders a bit earlier in the 90s. A big reason for Calvin’s retirement was the injuries but also because the lions have always sucked. So he didn’t see the point of killing his body just to constantly lose

When Earl Campbell played in Houston, they had three main running plays. Earl to the right, Earl to the Left and Earl up the middle.

Jim Brown and Ernie Davis both played for the college I attended for undergrad (Syracuse). Unfortunately, after being drafted by Washington, Ernie was diagnosed with leukemia and passed before ever playing a down in the NFL.

Randy Moss video would be awesome.. you will definitely understand

Reggie White should be on here. His strength was unreal. Just tossed O linemen aside.

Every NFL player I've ever met (and I've met a few - mostly from the KC Chiefs) were all down-right huge. And, yeah - Bo Jackson was injured while playing football, effectively ending both athletic careers. Which is too damned bad. He's also a very nice man, & was a great asset to Kansas City while he was here.

Jim Thorpe won a gold medal in the decathlon wearing mismatched shoes, one too big and one too small, after his were stollen. He went to on to play professionally in football, baseball, and basketball. Definitely a freak of nature.

Definitely do Randy Moss

Jackson is big but it was more special to watch him play. Jackson just had it all. Yeah, Moss had a big Attitude but I guess you could when you are that good. Dion Sanders is pure poetry in motion. You should watch some of his games. You’ll know what I’m talking about. Then there was Hershel Walker!!!

Some great names in there, but one guy that is under appreciated these days - partly because he left the NFL in the 30's to go where the real money was back then - pro wrestling, is Bronko Nagurski who was the only college player named All -American at 2 positions in the same year. A Defensive Tackle and a Running Back - he was considered the strongest man in the NFL when he was playing, and it was said that he could have started at any position on the team. In Professional wrestling, he won the world heavyweight title multiple times. His very unique claim to fame was the size of his NFL championship ring - being raised as a farmboy - he wore a size 19 1/2 ring (86mm inside circumference). Apparently no one else, before or since, has had fingers that size.

If you want to get out ahead of an athlete, you should did a video about Jordan Mailaita, an Australian rugby player who went from never playing football before to starting offensive tackle in the NFL in just a few years.

11:36 Receiving, Interception, Rushing, Kickoff return, Punt return, Fumble Recovery .

Dion Sanders…confident. That’s a nice way of saying it. I’ve always called him something else.

Lawrence Taylor , Jerry Rice , Bruce Smith , Reggie White , Earl Campbell , Anthony Munoz , John Hannah , Jonathan Ogden , Bruce Matthews , Ronnie Lott , Mel Blount , Joe Greene , Tony Dorsett , Bob Hayes , Dick "Night Train " Lane , Derrick Thomas , Barry Sanders , Emmitt Smith , Walter Payton , John Randle , Ray Lewis , Rod Woodson , Darrell Green , Derrick Brooks , Junior Seau , Charles Woodson , Ed Reed , Troy Polamalu , Brian Dawkins , Marvin Harrison , Jerome Bettis , Sean Taylor , Aaron Donald , Ndamukong Suh , Adrian Peterson , Von Miller , Derrick Henry , Frank Gore , Chris Johnson , Larry Fitzgerald , Lamar Jackson are some other incredible and some all time NFL athletes that could and some who should have been on that video you seen , but there's just been so many that picking just ten people from the entire NFL history is a personal preference choice.

Hershel walker is running and most likely will be the next senator from Georgia. Also hershel was traded by the Cowboys to Minnesota for 10 players. This trade is attributed to the three SB championships for the Cowboys in the early 90s.

Primetime helped get Atlanta fans interested again, in both sports. He was amazing with the Braves, we watched every game, and attended quite a few, during Atlanta's golden seasons. Watching him cover so much ground to catch a pop foul was beyond impressive. And when his bat was on, it was 🔥!

Kabir, Thanks for reacts to The Ten Biggest Freaks Of Nature in NFL History. You did help me to remember the ones that I did forgotten about.

Brett Farve. 365 consecutive starts at QB in the NFL. Still unbeaten.

I knew Randy was coming. He was insane. His hands were massive. I loved watching him play and his soundbites were LEGEND. 84 don’t stretch

No arguments with any of these selections. There is an excellent 30 for 30 documentary on Randy Moss which explains a lot about his background growing up in West Virginia. He had a reputation for being a "bad boy" with an attitude but when you see what he put up with growing up you can understand him a lot more. Jim Brown would be far more appreciated had he played in the modern day NFL. His greatest years were late 50's to early 60's and he was actively involved in the civil rights movement, which, of course, labeled him a troublemaker by many. Another good movie selection for you, Kabir, is One Night In Miami, released last year. It focuses on the night in 1964 after Muhammed Ali (Cassius Clay at that time) defeated Sonny Liston for the heavyweight title. It's about the meeting in a motel room after the fight between Jim Brown, Malcolm X, Ali and Sam Cooke (IMO one of the greatest singers of the last century). The fact that these athletes could compete at the very highest level in more than one sport is truly impressive.

Im digging your stuff man keep it up.

I have spent time around a lot of 49ers players & Vernon Davis is arguably the nicest person I have ever met. Dude has a smile that could light up a room.

Larry Allen opened up such big holes for his RBs!! So big that my slow running self could run through with ease lol. He blocked for Emmitt Smith. Need him blocking on the current offensive line for Dallas and open up some holes for Elliott!

Fantastic reaction, Kabir! I saw Bo Jackson play when he was still in college (at Auburn University, my alma mater also). He did things that were truly unbelievable and was a really nice guy as well. War Damn Eagle! ☮❤

Excellent video. Always love your football reactions. Since you seem to like football a lot, You really do need to delve into the history some more. Jim Brown was absolutely dominant - a real unicorn - in the 60s and considered by almost everyone to be the greatest runner of all time. His combination of power and speed had never been seen before. He actually contemplated a comeback into the NFL at age 47, and everyone was certain he could still do it. He retired after only 9 seasons of utter dominance and became a movie star.

I've already asked for Herschel Walker. I loved to watch him run down the field carrying 3 or 4 defenders with him. Thanks, Kabir!

Herschel Walker is now 59 years old. He is running for Georgia Senator this year. In his campaign video, you can see that he still works out the way he did as a child, and is in freakish physical condition.

Yes do moss. Most explosive receiver ever

I remember the Moss quote where it is said that the spot to throw to him is just north of his vicinity lol.

I remember the rugby team I was on in college. Once we recruited american football players they took a liitle time to learn it But after a few days we tried not to get in their way. Brutal hits. They fly around the field. They take the ball and dominate. Rugby players respected them. Added a lot of intensity. Nobody runs at an american football player. They flatten you

You should watch the movie, "Concussion" with Will Smith. It's based on a true story about the injuries sustained by American football players that are lifelong and how the NFL tried to sweep it under the rug. There's not only a reason for their salaries, but also early retirement. Also, "Any Given Sunday" is an excellent movie about the NFL.

How was Lawrence Taylor not on this list? And by “on”, I mean #1. He’s widely regarded by pros, coaches, and HoF’s as the GOAT NFL athlete.

Love tour Channel and your positive attitude. And that hand that players put up is what we call stiff arming them lol

Oh you need to do a Randy Moss reaction. He was such a badass. He was so fast and just never missed catches….he caught what no one else could.

As FREAKISH as Larry Allen was. I remember Reggie White one Thanksgiving (I think it was 92 or 93) afternoon throwing him with one arm💪🏽😳

Vernon Davis was leveled by Cam Chancellor in the Super Bowl when Denver got embarrassed . It appears in a lot of the greatest hit videos.

I remember an interview with Barry Sanders' dad. He was asked by the broadcaster "so how good a running back do you see your son"? Mr. Sanders said "He's good, but he ain't no Jim Brown"

My son’s middle name is BoJackson. You’re absolutely right about injuries and how he would have bounced back.

Moss, who really had the slender elegance of someone like Usain Bolt, was frustrating to opponents with his skill, _but also cuz he looked like a skinny kid you’d eventually be able to CRUSH!_ But they didn’t…much to my (Detroit Lions fan) chagrin 😜

I had Deon Sanders in an economics class at FSU. He was funny.

Bo actually ended his own career. He ran so hard when he broke away he tore the ligament away from a tackle

Rugby is a different animal to the NFL ... The NFL is based on teams running set plays, having time out and coaching that can send in a play... Rugby is a instant thinking and reacting game, constantly moving the ball forward... Sure the NFL Players are Strong and Fast, but when i see those Head and Shoulders pressed into a mass, I don't know if a NFL player wants to do that kind of contact without pads...

Terron Armstead who is 6'5 and 308 lbs and ran a 4.71 40 yard dash

I think you nailed it about bo. I think if he had just played baseball he could have had a long legendary career. Just his short career stats in both were absolutely amazing

Jim Thorpe once won a track meet single handed.

to quote oscar madison: football without strength leaves you with a lot cleat marks on the back of your neck.

I used to be a cheerleader in school for basketball and football. We're often over-looked even though we did some agile stuff; like throwing girls in the air and catching them. Julius Peppers is amazing... to excel in both sports. 👍👍

Bo Jackson was injured in a college game vs Texas. That is one of the reason he destroyed his hip later on. His college teammate Frank Thomas also played baseball and football, but changed his emphasis to baseball.

That's why they have the Jim Thorpe award

Kabir Considers:. The guy in the video was wrong about Calvin Johnson's college career. Georgia Tech was not playing he triple option while Johnson was at Georgia Tech. Everybody knew how good Calvin was before the NFL. The quarterback that Calvin had at Tech was not that good but he did throw the ball to Calvin a lot.

Bo Jackson suffered an injury that even in today's medicine, wouldn't have made a long term impact. To a normal human, they would be in a wheelchair by 50 years old after sufferingthat injury at that age. Not to prolong his legendary status, but he was different.

First time watching you from Pensacola Florida. You are a cool cat man,! I like your video because you are spot on with your opinion and analysis! It's a pleasure to subscribe to your channel and I have alot of your previous videos to enjoy! Bravo and rock on!!

There are 3 players that are still playing that should be on this list. They all play for the Superbowl Champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Antonio Brown aka (AB), WR very fast and passed 900 yards receiving in less time than anyone in NFL history. Rob Gronkowski (Gronk) TE 6'7" 285 lbs. Over 100 TDs between him and QB Tom Brady and possibly the best blocking TE as well. QB Tom Brady 6'4" drafted in the 6th round in the year 2020, age 44 and still playing. Nickname, The G.O.A.T. Short for greatest of all time. When most players never get a chance to play in a Superbowl, Brady has played in 10 winning 7 Superbowls. He's guiding the Buccaneers towards another Superbowl for the 2nd year in a row. He has earned the Nickname,the GOAT. Last week alone he threw 5 TDs for 411 yards and no interceptions,beating the Miami Dolphins 45-17. He has thrown more TDs in 5 games than any other QBs so far this year. He's thrown for more yardage than any other QB in NFL history and has 12 more games this season. Every time he completes a pass its a new record in more ways than one.

They left out a few facts about several of the people mentioned. Herschel was faster than Bo at 100 and probably just as fast at the 40. He also was a member of the US Winter Olympic team as a bobsledder. Jim Brown averaged a little over 20 points a game as a senior playing basketball at Syracuse. He ran a 9.6 second hundred yard dash in the '50s. If you just change the track and the shoes to modern equivalents that is probably the same as a 10.2 to 10.3 100 meters. Randy Moss was an incredible high school basketball player who was the two-time state player of the Year in West Virginia. And as an aside his high school teammate was the legendary Jason "White Chocolate" Williams.

I agree with your comments about Bo. Fantastic football and baseball player. 👍🏾

Mel Blount was so dominant at cornerback, the instituted the Mel Blount rule, you can't touch a player after five yards. As far as middle linebackers, there's is Dick Butkus, Jack Lambert, Mike Singletary, then there's Ray Lewis.

As a Lions fan, there wasn’t a whole lot to look forward to on Sunday. But seeing Calvin Johnson play was an experience all it’s own! He was a force of nature. Between him and Matthew Stanford, they carried the team. It’s so unfortunate that the Lions completely destroyed their relationship with Calvin. Not many people know this, but the Lions still owe Calvin Johnson millions of dollars. Lions fans believe that the franchise has cursed itself because they’ve refused to pay up.

Man Randy Moss is one that I remember because he inspired a favorite childhood game, Moss

Heard Andre the Giant almost went into the NFL back in the day. He would have been #1 on this list

i used to work with a guy named jim traber... local sports guy in oklahoma. played a few seasons in the major leagues. according to him, bo jackson was the only player he ever played against that he was genuinely scared to try to block him from base running. he said when bo was turning bases, it was like a freight train going full speed and nothing was gonna stop it... and these's no modern surgery or treatment option that would have fixed what happened to bo jackson. the dislocation in his hip tore an artery. that artery is held together with prayer and hope and not much else. bo can run. that's it. contact would destroy what's left of his artery.

I know it’s early, but I don’t think I’ve missed a Cowboys game since I was a kid and Trevon Diggs is FULLY a legend in the making. It’s freak shit. His brother, Stefon, is one of the best WRs in the league and Diggs will have as many TDs as a CORNER. Guarantee it. He is a freak of nature both in athletic ability and just how insanely competitive he is. Corners are my favorite - the Cowboys have been dead at corner since Prime got turftoe. Which, speaking of career ending injuries - Deion freakin Sanders has had like 20 surgeries on his foot and toe… bc of turf toe. Turf toe is what ended his pro-career. He’s crushing recruiting at Jackson State right now, but I digress… I have spent my entire adult life bitching about the Cowboys secondary and Trevon Diggs is proving my point every werk and he’s INSANE. Defensive Player of the Year is a given, but he’ll be on this list one day without a doubt.

Jim Brown also had a great career as an actor after the NFL

There's one player here recently that was compared to Bo Jackson, Kyler Murray. He was Drafted 9th overall in the 2018 MLB draft but chose to play football for now. He got drafted 1st overall in the 2019 NFL draft.

Not only is Herschel Walker STILL a great athelte, but he’s a smart dude, too. Likely a successful politician someday.

Bo’s injury was, and still is, career ending.

Jim thorp above megatron and moss and bo is so disrespectful he competed against people that had 9-5 jobs and played on the side

I was attending Auburn University at the same time as Bo. What a time to be in school.

Jim Thorpe a Native American legend

The non-stop guy sounds like a damn truck commercial

Jon Randle should be on this list as well, as an undersized d-lineman, he dominated the line of scrimmage line no other!

One thing they didn't mention about Jim Thorpe and the decathlon someone stole his shoes the 2nd day of the decathlon so he found 2 miss matched shoes in a trash can and had to wear an extra sock on one foot because one was to big for him. He ended up winning the high jump and 110 hurdles in the garbage shoes.

Check out Marshall football team 1970. The team was kill in a plane crash. The movie We Are Marshall, is based on those events. I live about 25 miles from the crash site. This area always remembers the team on the anniversary of the crash was November 14th 1970

I used to love watching Deion Sanders play, truly magnetic. Damn I miss ole school football.

I drive by Jim Thorpes house every week to go to college. It’s crazy to see that such a dominant athlete lived in a small hut

Sanders official 40 yard dash was never clocked.. because you can’t put a time on prime😎

It's a real shame that Vernon Davis doesn't get more attention. He had a career that was super long for such a physically demanding position, and consistently delivered good results. I think that what takes him out of the public eye is that he generally wasn't super flashy. He just reliably performed at a very high level for almost a decade.

Walker, Brown and Thorpe were easily the stars in this vid. I watched Randy Moss through his days at Marshall University. He was way too eager to believe in his own hype. That got him into trouble. Never cared for his play. Walker dominated the SEC for Georgia. He was really poetry in motion at UGA (BTW, I'm UK Wildcat fan).

Would’ve had JJ Watt on there (although he’s still playing), but Bo Jackson is #1… that guy was a freak. Shame injuries shortened his career.

Herschel Walker was also on the American Bobsled team in the winter Olympics

Moss would be a worthwhile watch

About Jim Thorpe - Bo Jackson won the decathlon in hs without doing the distance events. His 30 for 30 is one of the best ever.

Baseball he was average(he almost set the strikeout record but was benched), but impressive for a dual athlete. His 30 for 30 he claimed not to practice or workout in college.

I remember there was a time when the Dallas Cowboys were trying very hard to tempt Jonah Lomu away from Rugby and make him their RB.

Randy, if I had to compare him to an animal it would be a Gazelle.

They missed Jerry Rice. This is mostly more recent (post 2000) stars. They need to cover some old school athletes, pre 2000, Refrigerator Perry being another one. The reason injuries are common (especially thier leg joints) is because the human joints are not designed to carry around more than a certain amount of weight (depending on height etc) and sports like basketball and football are high impact sports, so these athletes are constantly slamming too much (muscle) weight against thier knee and ankle joints every time they practice/play and it takes a toll. Even very tall men (not necessarily athletes either) are told that low impact (like swimming) exercise is easier on thier joints. People who are obese often get rheumatoid arthritis and joint damage in thier knees and ankles for the same reason; thier joints can't deal with the excess weight. These athletes joints can't keep up with thier ambition and ability for longer than a few years and at some point even modern medical techniques can only do so much.

I always wonder when Larry Fitzgerald will finally get the respect that he's deserved. The BEST hands and body control in NFL history. Cool reaction, though!

The craziest "freak" is Bo Jackson and it isn't really close! In fact, he never lifted weights until he got to college. When his coaches saw him benching 435lbs with ease (which seems ridiculous) they made him stop because they didn't want him to pull anything. Bo Jackson had a state of the art workout facility with all the best weights and exercise machines in his house but literally told the reporter he was giving a tour to "I've never used them"...referring to the weights! PS. I just started video, but I noticed Deion Sanders (who deserves to be on list) but 3 other players that need to be mentioned (all were defensive players) were: Lawrence Taylor: (you need to watch documentary just to see how physically dominant he was) Reggie White: I've seen him throw 350lb offensive lineman several yards with one arm many, many, many times! Rod Woodson: picture Deion Sanders game day speed (with cheats, pads, and uniform), with Ronnie Lott type of hits! Woodson was a world class track athlete and all-american! P.S. I used to play a video game in 1989 & 1990 (Tecmo Bowl & Super Tecmo Bowl). There were 3 players that seemed like a glitch because they were so far above all the other players. They were Bo, LT, and Woodson. They had Montana, Rice, Deion, etc...but those players could be contained, not the 3 I mentioned.

My 2nd husband was a left guard in 1970-1973 with the Kansas City chiefs 6'6" 368 pounds . He died in 1999 at 49 from head trauma he masses. He was a walk on right out of high school.

just something to keep in mind, NFL 16 games/year. NHL 82

How do you have a list like that without Barry Sanders?? As a Detroit kid, now living in Flint, I gotta say I'm shocked to not see Barry

One injury stopped Bo. He had a genetic hip disorder and when someone hit him in his hip he was out of football. Although he played baseball for a little while longer after his hip replacement.
