Heisman Trophy Winner, AFC Rookie of the Year, MVP of the Superbow, MVP of The NFL and Comeback Player of the Year. This may never be duplicated in the NFL again.

Marcus Allen was great because he honored his father by being a "team-player".

He certainly handled that Al Davis situation better than I would have. He has more class than I ever imagined he had. 144 career touchdowns while not really being played for five years! You've got to be kidding me! I know Al Davis did a lot for the game, but my God, he sabotaged his own team.

Ronnie: How did you?! Marcus: Man I saw you the whole time 😂😂😂

Al depriving Marcus of 4 prime years is one of the greatest travesties he ever instigated. Marcus could run, block, catch, throw, and may have been the toughest Raider ever. Also the greatest short yardage back to ever play the game. Even during those 4 years Al moved Marcus to fullback; he was still voted the team captain. A class act and one of, and maybe the greatest Raider of all time!

He did it all, amongst blatant oppression, and did it with class. Simply the greatest football player ever...

Denying Marcus Allen "playing time" goes against all sane thinking .It even goes against Al Davis's own saying of "just win baby"..It truly made Davis look small and MARCUS ALLEN look LARGE.. Thank you Marcus for all your contributions to Football.

This Football Life should be in the dictionary under the word Class. Thanks Marcus and The Allen Family.

That run in the super bowl gives me chills.

QB, DB, and FB gave Allen all the knowledge which made him an elite RB!

Marcus Allen speaks like he used to run..poetry

After seeing this episode of A Football Life on Marcus Allen What respect I have for this guy. He should have had 18000 yards. 160 touchdowns. And what a Class Act not to have such animosity towards someone who really killed your career. I have a whole new respect for this guy really was terrific all around athlete and human being.

Al Davis was a genius, but benching Marcus Allen for personal disagreements is a stain on Al's legacy!

“I’m going to compete against my brother, and like all of us know...if it’s your brother you wanna kill him” why is that so true 😂

I watched his whole career. The thing I remember most is he never seemed to take a hard hit. Smooth speed. Al Davis was a nut job and trading him proved it.

Al Davis was petty for how he treated Marcus Allen smh

Respect Mr Marcus Allen 🙏💪✊✊

That was one of the best episodes of A Football Life.. if you ever played the game on an organized level, Marcus summed up in a nutshell, and in one sentence when he said the biggest reason that he was great was because he understood what everybody was doing at any one time on the field, because he had played fullback defensive backfield and quarterback after that if you have the physical skills running back will only come natural to you. The vision that's needed would be automatic. One of the top 20 goats.

5:20: Are you serious? Ronnie Lott (maybe the greatest safety ever), Dennis Smith (6-time Pro Bowl safety), Joey Browner (6-time Pro Bowl safety) - and Marcus Allen in the same defensive backfield? Ridiculous.

What a classy guy. I don't want to take anything away from what Mr Allen did, because every choice he made was his own; but I think that it's also a testament of how a committed dad did a great job.

What a class guy. Great to watch even knowing the poor treatment he got from Al Davis. KC knew how lucky they were to get him.

Wow! His last words were “The game is pretty simple if you know what you are doing”. Marcus had every reason to be bitter and vindictive about Al Davis but said life is too short to be bitter and let’s move on. Takes a strong person to do that.

Marcus Allen. What a decent, humble, honorable human being.

Meet him today at a gas station. A complete gentleman. Made me come back here and appreciate how he was one of the best....

Howie Long's analysis of Allen's game and legacy as a great player (starting around @12:30) is very insightful.

What I love about this man is his constant composure, no loud outbursts, swearing or aberrant behavior, all on the same level of calmness!

Marcus Allen reminds of my good old days when i was student at USC..... I still remember him standing next to Troy

He'd be on my all time team. This opened my eyes big time.

Criminally underrated Running Back. He is a Top 10 Running Back of all time

"The game is a simple game if you know what you are doing!" Marcus is full of humility. Trust me he had the talent for the game.

Imagine if Marcus got to actually play in the 6 years he was scorned, he'd hold like every record in the book.

Most underrated player of all time. no dispute

That run Marcus had in SB 18 might be the greatest run in NFL history

Met Marcus Allen 3 yrs ago, one of the coolest dudes ever! Asked if everything was ok where Hurricane Irma hit my neighborhood. Talked to him for about 20 minutes. Good dude. #RaiderNation

I remember when Marcus ran in a TD for the Chiefs in LA and there was a banner with Al's portrait and 'Commitment to Excellence' hanging on the wall. Marcus ran over to it and spiked the ball right off of Al's face. I don't blame him one bit because while Al benched him his stats could have become legendary. I was SO excited whenever my Chiefs took Allen-and coupled with Montana it was great with our vaunted defense. I still remember my Dad yelling "GO MARCUS!!!" every time he touched the ball. (Alas, the 'Indian burial ground Arrowhead Stadium was built on' always bit us hard-even harder with poor Marty.) He never showboated-even after a TD he'd simply throw the ball to a referee and quietly go to the sideline always looking up at the clock/scoreboard. So intelligent, articulate, and a class act any parent would want their kids looking up to.

Marcus Allen was amazing... He didn't even look like he was trying that's how good he was..

Al Davis and Marcus Allen -- parallel of Saul and David

Thank you Marcus Allen for all the Raiders Memories!

As a die hard Vikings fan for 60 years I still can't believe we took Darren Nelson instead. Hurts to this day.

Outstanding all purpose player. To last that long as an RB is amazing. I mean even in his last season at 37 he was at 4.1 YPC. Amazing

One of the best running backs in history, both in college and the NFL...the short yardage specialist.

Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble. Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing. 1 Peter 3:8‭-‬9

#32 Marcus Allen one of the greatest of all time. Thanks for the memories Marcus!

Story of Redemption! You cant keep a good man down! Showed class and style while the Owner tried to silence and put out his flame. Hall of Fame Mr.Marcus Allen

People like to knock Marty Schottenheimer as a coach who "couldn't win the big one," but I still think he's one of the best coaches of all-time. And my absolute favorite comment was when he said, "If God put one person on this Earth to be a professional football player, it would have been Marcus Allen."

"There are those who know, and those who don't." For any kid out there who might br reading this, I'll leave you with a little football-life lesson. If you've never seen Ronnie Lott, Tom Brady, Jerry Rice, or Marcus Allen do it, don't do it. All of them the highest level competitors, played their best when it mattered most, were supremely confident, yet incredibly humble. Treated the game, other players, and everyday people with graciousness and respect.

Marcus was the ultimate Raider. It was aweful the way Davis treated him. The Raiders weren’t worthy of him, though the players themselves held him in high regard and admiration.

“Football is a simple game if you understand what you’re doing” - Marcus Allen

al did silly things but marcus allen u know u are still the greatest Raider RB Ever and we love u.

Howie long has always been a real dude, about team and win period. Marcus allen! God has blessed me to see you drill your skill and score at will.. thank you for the times 😊

At 41:15 Him lighting the flame 🔥 in Big Al’s name shows what kind of heart this man has. Big ups to #32💪🏼

Super talented! He has the best run ever in a Super Bowl!🏈

What a legacy...such class..his dad..very humble and honorable man

I have always been a big fan of his. He is a well balanced player and person. Need motivation, look at Marcus Allen.

Wow that was touching Marcus was cool and laid back he didnt have to talk he walked action speak louder than words deon chad and to name a few

Once a raider always a raider thank u Marcus Allen

i love this show. al davis was a fool

Nothing but love, adoration and respect for Marcus Allen. One of the best ever, and perhaps most graceful of them all.... sooooooo EZ!!

One of my all-time favorite players. I had to be his biggest fan when he came to Chiefs and showed everyone just how great of a back he still was. Great video of a truly great player.

I’ve now watched this twice, the first time I thought Marcus was arrogant. I couldn’t have been more wrong, very confident, very focused, very good.

I've been a Oakland Raiders fan since 1979. And AL Davis did foolish things like his vendetta against Marcus. Look at what happen to them after the early 90's. Losing more way more than they were winning. Wasting millions of dollars on mediocre players. Signing a 1st round qb and giving millions because he had a cannon for an arm. But nothing else to show for. He flamed out before he caught fire. Or wasting more money on players that had a history of knee injuries. The list goes on and on. A team that would find ways to win. For years now it's been finding a way to lose. I hope w/Gruden the Raiders get back to finding ways to win.

Always loved him humble,blessed w/a God given talent &my biggest football crush💖😇

Probably one of the best if not the best football players I have ever seen!!

Listen to Ronnie Lott talk about what a great DB Allen was as a young man and the promise he had at both sides of the ball. Even his HS coach knew what an natural athlete he was by putting him at QB!

Marcus was a joy to watch thanks

My favorite RB and favorite Raider. Those years he sat the bench in LA were torture for us fans.

It all started if you were listening with Marcus Allen saying several times Honour your Mother and Father.

Class is a word that was made for Marcus Allen. My favourite Raider of all time.

To me, THATS A ROLE MODLE!!!! MARCUS ALLEN OR BARRY SANDERS, SEEMS THEY DONT MAKE THEM LIKE THAT ANYMORE!!!😞

Love the music used in this one. Really good. Allen was one of the best, true professional athlete. Not many of those these days.

I remember Marcus Allen singing the national anthem in his final bowl game at USC and running over 200 yards. Great Story!

This shotty treatment after Marcus's record setting performance in '83 super bowl. I'll never forget it; was military at the time, we watched the game at supervisor's home. Initially, he was pretty cool. He turned against me after that game. Maybe I cheered a little too hard for Raiders and Marcus that day. He was a Redskins and John Riggins fans. I won the bet.

This man was definitely one of the greatest! His stats are amazing! Thanks for sharing! Please and Blessings to all!

Al Davis did you a favor by holding you back. I thank him for being able to watch you for so long. Congrats man love you bro.

One of the most inspiring films... should be shown in schools!

i have never been so so impressed with a football player. many lessons here for all of us. class.

Marcus was a complete back, the only other guy like that was Sweetness.

BEST ALL TIME RAIDERS PLAYER HANDS DOWN...

Great guy. Best personality I have ever seen on football life. Absolute respect.

That's character to get treated the way he did and not complain!! imagine a player going thru that in this era

Thank you for honoring your parents! Thanks dad for being there for your kid.

He had a nose for the goal line and the best touchdown run in Super Bowl history. 🏈

Marcus is the GOAT in my opinion. He could do anything. He did everything he was asked to do at the highest level. He's a winner and a class guy.

What a blessing it was to see the brother play the game he made it look so easy because he was so good 👍

Its a trip too see sop much KC chiefs footage for a man who was such a RAIDER for so many good career years. Yeah I know he ended his career with KC but man oh man those raider years were something very special. I like him in Silver and black far more than in Red and white. I know bridges were burned but Man... I'm just a USC fan and a RAIDER fan.. And Marcus Allen was a great RAIDER.

A hell of a football player. Thanks for the memories. Signed Chicago Bear and Walter Payton fan.

I grew up a USC fan from AD, CW, Bam Bam Cunningham and Marcus Allen - it was one of the greatest Joy watching him play for USC. Thanks Marcus for such fond Memories

Such a privilege to have Marcus in red and gold. Love that man.

pure class

The best player to ever play for the Oakland or Los Angels Raiders.

The best! Thanks for the memories Marcus.

Guys a warrior. Love this story. " it's all about attitude ".

G.O.A.T in my eyes

What an amazing man 🙌👏👏

One of the BEST ever hands down! A true Champion!

A San Diego legend! My aunt used to talk about watching him play, he was a man amongst boys in high school 😂

That s why Marcus Allen was so underrated

Team player right there.

Much respect Marcus. U will always be one of my fav all time backs.
