The craziest thing about Todd Gurley is how young he still is he only turned 30 this year yet he’s been out of the NFL for 4 years
Denver did Phillip Lindsay wrong. He had a couple of thousand yrd seasons and Denver was stil trying to trade him
The only back to ever go for back to back 1k rushing seasons and still be unwanted but then again he was a short skinny RB who wasn’t the best catcher or blocker and couldn’t be a power back not fast enough for outside plays either and he would usually go down on first contact but hey he technically never fumbled
I totally agree He was a real Denver dude too I did not know him personally but we went to the same taekwondo gym I hate the broncos management they needa make some big changes
@@SnuggieMapleI think he did fumble once when he got to Houston I might be wrong though
@@lionsfan3581 Nope he never officially recorded a fumble
It's a couple players teams did like that Alfred morris, jordan howard, jay A
Todd Gurley was disregarded too early, NO he wasn’t the same but he still was serviceable. Still put up 9 TDs his last yr(only QBs scored more with less touches) and as a backup RB he could have been useful
I don't think it has nothing to do with him being disregarded...his knee was gone and he had to make the honest choice of not playing anymore and still be able to walk instead of possibly walking with crutches or even worse the rest of his life
@@FlameWingMan obviously it was ultimately his choice but teams weren’t offering anyway. He sit in FA awhile with no offers before retiring
@334ben10 yes he sat on FA for a while.cause teams got all the information on his knee that we couldn't get access to and they knew his knee was bad than what was reported
@@FlameWingMan bruh ok what I know this and what I said still stands I don’t need your explanation😂😂 his knees were still good enough to put up 9 TDs and STILL was serviceable, Todd already spoke on this. Teams didn’t hear anything we didn’t they just weren’t interested
@334ben10 yeaaah, I highly doubt they were good enough if you're going by the 9 TDs in ATL. obviously his explosiveness wasnt there any more...he was pretty much powering through the severity of his knee...that's what you're not understanding especially in this era of football...these guys are retiring way early than just playing 10+ years through a bad injury
Someone else said Lev Bell and I definitely think he qualifies.
For sure! Him and maybe ab but his demise was certainly because of his off the field antics
Peyton Hillis comes to mind. Had the monster one hit wonder year. Madden cover.
Three TEs that could also be found on “one-year wonder” videos: Jordan Cameron, Gary Barnidge, and Eric Ebron. All of them had their best statistical year by a long shot with tuddies for days, looked like a future star in the making, and then disappeared within 2 or 3 seasons.
Speaking of Browns’ one-year wonders, QB Terrelle Pryor switched to WR in his 4th season, then in his 6th season in 2016 he eclipses 1000 yards for a very bad Browns team with terrible QBs, but then doesn’t even reach 1000 yards combined over his final two seasons playing for some other dumpster teams of Washington, Buffalo, and the Jets.
Deuce McCallister was a beast in New Orleans for about 2-3 years… then it seemed like the second they drafted Reggie Bush he was snuck out the back door! Another guy was Travis Henry for the Bills and Titans, he would kill it in 2002 amd 2003 on the Bills. They draft McGahee anyway and it was like Buffalo instantly forgot what Henry just did for them those 2 years! Then this exact scenario played out for Henry once again In Tennessee 😮💨 🤦♂️
He fumbled a bit in Buffalo and every year we had a new offensive coordinator here in Buffalo we had garbage quarterbacks after bledsoe so we had to make running back the key of the offensive
Todd Gurley was the sole reason i fell in love w the Rams. They were such an exciting team to watch in those couple of yrs he was a starting RB.
I still root for the Rams but i wished T.Gurley was still a part of the team.....they would've been the most unstoppable offense in the league!
Johnson putting up 1700 yards in 7 games is absolutely wild. If he played all 16 he’d be in the 2000 club
......................He started 7 games. He played in all 16 games and had over 330 carries. He was basically rb1 all year. Lol. Only reason he didn't start every game was because Holmes was still "considered" the rb1, but he didn't even have 150 carries that season and never really played again. No, he wouldn't be in the 2k club.
Andrew Luck
He was one of my favorite players. What the Colts did to him was a crime.
Such an intelligent person as well, truly a supreme talent that slept through the colts fingers.
He's a young man with plenty of cash. Good for Andrew luck.
Bengals doing the same to Burrow
@@rkbelmont1138 you think ?
If only Gurley wasn't the Gordon Hayward of the NFL
gordon hayward still in the league i think
He’s still in the league
All I think of is that ankle injury on Boston with him
Gordon Hayward was only ever a role player
terrible comparison
That 5 td game by Josh Freeman won me the Fantasy Championship and 800 bucks that year. I didn’t want to play him but I didn’t have much of a choice. Good times
I expected to see the criminally underrated Doug Martin on here.
2017 Gurley was an absolute Legend. I remember in Fantasy Football that year I was looking to pick up DeMarco Murray since he just got traded to the Titans but my brother took him and with the next pick I drafted Gurley. I remember a guy in the room said “he’s a bust”. Boy was he wrong
Az linebacker daryl washington
Injuries to his girlfriend kept him out the lg 😂
Just goes to show that staying healthy means more than having high end talent in the NFL
Exactly why Joe Burrow isn't top 5
100%. Unfortunately that's something that is mostly out of the players hands.
@@FantasyPhenoms I’m mad you entertained this comment 😂😂
The best ability is availability
Eddie Lacy comes to mind.
Also even though he made the HOF off of four productive years, Terrell Davis went from a 2200 yard 23 TD season in 1998 to only collecting 1300 yards and 4 TDs over his last three seasons and then retired in the 2002 preseason.
Phillip Lindsey never fumbled in his NFL career.
Very impressive
first two guys in the video were never the same after facing Belichick in the Super Bowl
Shaquille Leonard was a monster on defense at the start of his career. Then year five injuries have taken him out it seems. He still has a chance, but it seems like he's not gonna get back to his original level.
If he does that eagles defend would actually be pretty scary
The man was a ff machine
Kind of surprised to not see Chris Borland here. Hes always a guy I think of in these conversations. Played just one season, won Defensive Rookie of the Year and then just retired
My bad. He was 4th in DROY voting. He didn't win it
Haven't finished the video yet. But Josh Gordon better be on here. Imagine if he started his career in the nfl now. When weed suspensions are unheard of. Crazy.
Bro him and Justin Blackmon could’ve been really special
I think about 2 Texans RBs that played together. Steve slaton and Ben Tate.
Dang your right I forgot about Gurley after the casino incident
Stevie Johnspn had hands made of grease, he dropped a lot of passes
Lindsay is doing daytime sports talk now in Denver
Fantasy Phenom da best sports RUclips channel 💯
Thanks Trev!!!
Hello and great video. Another player in my opinion that had their career sadly cut short because of injury is Doug Martin former running back of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2012 to 2018 injuries is what messed up his career but he had a couple really great years. and had he been able to stay healthy I think he could’ve been one of the best running backs in the NFL
This is all offense? Because i have no idea how Aldon Smith or Hardy aint on this list. Awesome work though
If only Brady had a longer career he could've been a HOF 🤣😂🤣
if only bro could beat manning nick foles and 1st half matt ryan (2nd half never happened yall delusional)
Chip Kelly was the worst thing to happen to my city 😢
Rawls Flintstone naive was a beast when he play for Seahawks had a promising career too bad injuries end his career
Another Falcons running back could've been on this list.. Michael the burner Turner. Had some monster seasons and then faded away. Freeman took over after that
This makes me think about Tre Mason
3451 elite show? How tf does that work. That’s elite for the Bears, but Bears fans think Justin Fields was an MVP last year.
Was referring to his touchdown/turnover ratio not the yardage.
Fields still better than Williams will be.
@@janboblarry so the bust train don’t stop for Da Bears
Maybe im dumb but i forgot what happened to Jay Ajai
He just sucked. The dude had 3 games of 200 yards and literally did nothing after that. That season he had like 1100-1200 yards and half his season total yards came in 3 games.
Would have loved to see Percy Harvin on this list, but good list regardless.
Levion bell, Antonio brown, Darren sprolles, Josh gordon, David Johnson, Henry Ruggs III and Mike Vick after the dog fighting saga are also players who were very good but couldn't make the long run
Sproles played for 14 Years and is top 50 RB all time, i think his career panned out really well along with a super bowl. Leveon bell makes me sad tho
AB84? I don’t think a twelve year career with an 8-year stretch as one of the best in the league qualifies as “very good but couldn’t make the long run.” Did he go from the mountain top to being out of the league a little sooner than some thought? Sure, he didn’t end up with Moss, Owens, Fitzgerald-type longevity and it had probly more to do with his brain than his body. But idk how you can say he belongs on this list.
Joe Haden also had a 13 year career, and played for years after his best statistical seasons. So three of your five suggestions are bunk.
K but but chill I'm just throwing names that have a possibility
Why did everyone go to the dolphins. somewhere down their career 😂
Franchise overpays and no state income tax
They love that burning hot weather, beaches, and most of all money!
Cause that’s where football players go towards the end of their careers
It used to be the saints
Drew Bledsoe. The Pats replaced him too soon with whats his name. Big mistake. We will never know what could have been.
I would say the king of all the gone too soon players would have been Bo Jackson.
Bob Sanders.
Mike doss also
I’m a Lions fan and I hope Gibbs don’t turn out to be one of these guys because he’s insanely talented
Agreed but then again he is a rb
You missed Josh Gordan literal embodiment of 1 year hit player
Odell Thurman Bengals LB
Reggie Brooks RB Washington
Andre Rison Wr Falcons
Sterling Sharpe Wr Packers
39k views and only 400 likes for content like this is criminal
Bills need to let go bass and elam before its too late
Chris Borland is a massive what if.
Forgot about Charles Rogers
12:03 "fortunately this work load caught up to him, he got injured" lol ummm okay
It’s the nfl design fill seats then boot you 😂
Jamaal Charles and Eric Berry
How could you not mention Josh Gordon here?
Had him in another similar video, he’s on the thumbnail. I don’t like to repeat players because viewers would get bored
Great list. Gurley is the biggest what if for rb ever and bo jackson. Wr, for sure! Will fuller. He had all the potential in the world to be BETTER than hopkins. Sigh 😢 too bad. I know theres a lot of what if players. Its the NFL. Its hard to find the tom Brady's.
How yall forget the #1 pick Johnny man
10 :15 them jaguars uniforms 🤮
THE AVERAGE NFL CAREER IS ONLY 3YEARS & AFTER THAT FILING FOR BANKRUPTCY 8O% OF NFL PLAYERS ARE FILING FOR BANKRUPTCY WHEN FOOTBALL CAREER IS OVER NO CAPPING
Ngl i despise all philly teams and their fans(some of which are some close friends🤦🏽♂️😭) since im from Philly but if you're a fan im sure you live or grew up somewhere in the PA area. Keep up great content my guy
Surprisingly I am not from Philly. The reason I grew to love the Eagles was because of McNabb and TO when I was 4-5 years old. Would always watch the games with my grandfather before he passed, but I agree our fan base takes things way too far. Appreciate you watching and commenting!
@@FantasyPhenoms go cowboys
@chopsueyplays3213 go Cowboys (right up until the first round of playoffs) lol
@@FantasyPhenoms lmaooo got me there brother
TODD GURLY II DID NOT EVEN LAST LONG ENGOUGH IN THE NFL TO COLLECT A NFL PENTION OMG
Kyle Long .
Seahawks can’t miss, drafting rbs😬
Johnny Football.
What’s about Jason Verrett …smh
No Steve Slaton?
Soooo ur saying Miami is where ur career goes to die…. Amazing that so many of these guys were Dolphins at the end of the
Dwane bowe
I’ll die on the hill of Gurley for the hall of fame, the amount of stats he still ranks top5-10 since his last season is crazy, it’s not his fault his body failed him
You can do everything right and your body can still fail you. Absolutely sucks and I know exactly what that is like
Why are all these types of videos narrated by the slowest and most monotone voices earth has to offer
Telvin Smith.
Idk if it counts as “too soon” being that part of his leaving the NFL had to do with abusing a minor and so he doesn’t deserve a life of luxury playing a game for a career, but he had 5 seasons as an incredible 4-3 OLB where he eclipsed 100 tackles every season. He also was very good in pass coverage. Then he did what he did and retired early with the indication he would some day return, only for the details to come out and it being clear he’d never make a comeback.
16:14 wtf is that shit? did you sneak in some AI abomination for some reason?
It’s a normal clip…
@@FantasyPhenoms I must have fat fingered it. meant 16:14.
???
Todd is a hof
