Dude played in the BEST era of safeties
Ed Reed
Troy Polamalu
Brian Dawkins
Bob Sanders
Sean Taylor
John Lynch
Darren Sharper
Adrian Wilson
Rodney Harrison
Antrel Rolle
Donte Whitner
Antoine Bethea
This Era was STACKED 💯
What about Corners tho?
DB Zzz corners were pretty good too. Champ Bailey, Charles Woodson, Nnamdi Asomugha Ty Law, Darrelle Revis, Ronde Barber, Asante Samuel were all studs
He played with bethea too
And Antoine bethea is still playing today
My guy, he played with a stacked eraa of Secondary in general.
“What happened to” is without a doubt one of the best series on RUclips 💯
Facts
It's why I subscribed
Yea bro, your "what happened to" show is better than any 30 for 30 or NFL doc
Facts dude. Best of all of YT
For real
"If I cant run the ball neither can YOU!!!" Bob Sanders inner voice :)
Lol
lol hell yeah
Faxts 🤣🤣🤣this was hilarious
I read this in my head like he was screaming in pure seriousness, just died laughing
as a die hard colts fan, this makes me wanna cry I remember watching him play, petyon on offense and Bob Sanders on Defense..miss the ole days good video homie
William Lewis Freeney on one side Mathis on the other
But now you’ve got Rivers and this season looks promising
Colts fan, he stayed injured. But when he was on field it was magic. I miss those teams
This my Aunt brother. If not for injuries he definitely would have been a HOF
I have a bob sanders signed jersey and football from 2009. Any idea where i could sell it?
He didn’t have the most prolific career but he was extremely IMPACTFUL when he was out there
5'8 throwing his body around like that I understand why he had a short career lol dude was a beast tho salute 💯
Honestly, despite game count I thought 8+ years is easily considered a long career in any pro sport. Especially being able to get resigned through a clear history. He was 1 of a kind indeed.
@@slightrymes8364 in those 8+ yrs how many g's did he played. he should have know better … if u ask me because, of this silliness he was a real liability 4 the colts. good riddance
I’m making him rn for my franchise
Absolute savage, still bummed he was never fully healthy for the Chargers after we signed him a the end of his career.
@@markiebrummett559 So much of a liability that he won a DPOY and his two elite seasons also culminated in the Colts having elite defenses.You're full of shit
We haven’t forgotten Bob Sanders in Indy. That guy was a electric.
That my favorite retro jersey to rock! Everyone has a manning/Saturday/freeney. But a sanders jersey is rare enough to be 🔥
@@22__AJ Im from Erie too
fax he a local legend
The only year he was healthy in the post season we won the Super Bowl. Dude was AWESOME.
I will give a shoutout to @patmcafeeshow for reminding me of Bobs legend
I’m glad he got paid before his injuries caught up to him
I forgot all about him but I remembered him in the playoffs when they won the superbowl. The man was their defense. Glad be got the bag too. Colts owed him that, even happier he kept his money. Sad so many players lose it all or never make it pass a rookie contract
@@toanvo427 on that l

Colts fan here. In 06 going into the playoffs the colts were giving up over 150 rushing yards a game. Bob stayed injured, but he made it back for playoffs. Thats the main reason Payton Manning won his first ring. Bob Sanders out of Iowa was the defense. Love you bob, we still remember you. Thanks for the hits!!
That's some disrespect to Dwight Freeney to say Bob was the defense.
@@mookiestinks1262 Dwight WHO????
@@skipbrainless7527 are you stupid or something?
@GiffordTheRat I didn't say that he didn't do the most on that defense.
@GiffordTheRat *their team
One of my favorite safeties of all time, as a 5’8 man, I always looked to him growing up!
He has the Derrick Rose problem: too damn explosive for his limbs an joints.
More than likely it was a bio-mechanical issue combine with his play style. I only say this because of personal experience and that was Derrick Rose's problem too
Probably should have played baseball or did track and field.
Him and Troy were always hurt. Ed had the luxury to never have big injuries like they did considering Ed didn't get as dirty as Troy and bob
Why there are no asians players, hispanics players, and people from the middle east in the nfl?
@@yornanortez5490 culture hasn't pushed football yet. It's why Germans and Spaniards over perform in soccer. The culture of their country pushes soccer above all.
"Bob Sanders had one speed, wild, reckless, abandon." Hitman was/is a fan favorite at Iowa. Legend.
As a colts fan, this guy was one of the best defensive players I’ve ever seen. Really helped make those colts’ teams so good
Always good to get another Indy fan and this dude was a monster when he was there at the start
@@politicsislitm8369 👌
As a non-Colts fan..everything you said is still valid
As a charger fan i was hoping he still had something left in the tank when they signed him. He was incredible, its a shame his body gave out on him. He was so physical and intuitive. True gridiron legend.
He was great. One of the best defensive players in the best all time era of football.
I have posters of two NFL players in my room: John Elway... and Bob Sanders. What a beast. Glad to see he is getting some recognition.
I have a bob sanders signed jersey and football from 2009. Any idea where i could sell it?
@@kortmicheal yah I’ll buy it how much

When he came back healthy, that’s how the Colts won. I even watched him in college. Underrated beast💪🏽💪🏽
Iowa Hawkeye fan here, I’ll never forget this dude. Such a beast.
Go hawks
Yessir another Iowa fan 😤
Go hawks, we have plenty of legends to remember!
I was just about to look up a highlight video of him! Go hawks :)
Not an Iowa fan but Iowa city bred, he threw a bowling ball so hard it's insane
living in Indy, Bob has a sweet spot in my heart....he brought it everyday, put in the work, part of the best Colts defense in awhile, but in the end it cost him a lot...thank you Mr. Sanders, you were truly awesome for us!!!!
I think if he stayed healthy peyton would have 3 or 4 superbowls he was that important
Just watched the clip. The names mentioned brought back some great memories. THANK YOU! Love my COLTS Bethany
@@alexfleming6304 forsure
@@bethanyedwards4072 👍, coach Frank Reich will lead the troops to a deep playoff run come January 2021?
He was in the Ed Reed, Troy Polomalu conversation when in his prime, definitely.
lmao
damn shame he couldn’t stay healthy
Mario aguilar what’s funny? At his peak he was his peak just didn’t last due to injuries
He was a far more superior hitter than both of them.
@@felixlugo4840 thus why his 5’8 frame started breaking down on him
Yo this dropped when I needed to “Cue the Wayne” because I was going through it, and as a dude who is 5’8” this was the video I needed when it came out. Thanks Flemlo for being one of the most uplifting guys on this platform.
I wanna thank you for making this video as he doesn’t get the appreciation he deserves as a colts fan I watched him as a kid and still to this day he’s my favorite defensive player of all time
ONE OF MY FAVORITE SAFETIES EVER! STILL GOT HIS JERSEY!!!! WHAT A MONSTER!!!
Yo I got one of my jerseys too haha
@@olivergirard4213 Me 3.... Lol. One of my faves!
I dont understand , the 5"8 height thing, why was that a problem??
I have his jersey as well and the 5'8 is because he was a safety. A qb should be able to put the ball up a little higher to the wr putting it put of Sanders reach. He made up for his height though
Bob Sanders may have been 5 ft 8 but he played like he was 7 ft tall the dude was just a monster I loved watching him play and I'm not a Colts fan at all die hard Green Bay fan
Bob sanders has never been forgotten by me. Still one of my favorite safeties
Peyton doesn’t get that ring in 06 without Bob Sanders coming back around playoff time to bolster that defense.
Yes sir. 100% truth. Sanders popped Cedric Benson at the bears 10 yrd line and caused a fumble that the colts ran in for a TD. Plus Sanders had a pick or 2 on Rex Grossman
Rex Grossman being garbage qb more likely.
@@DickRileyTheConquistador that too of course but were speaking of Bob Sanders great football skills here. So .. yeah
Colts fan here. Bob sanders was that dude. That whole 06 defense was fun to watch and gets overshadowed by how good our offense was but we had an all around great squad. So fun to watch. That team is what made me fall in love with the game of football.
@Branthro Perro He sucked. They had a chance to replace him with Orton at halftime but they refused. And Kyle Orton was better anyway.
Grew up a Colts fan so I will NEVER forget Mr Bob Sanders. A beastmode player at its finest. Enjoyed many good years of watching him play with Mannings Colts squad.
As a long time colts fan Bob was my favorite player! Those damn injury’s
Won DPOY 3 years after he was drafted. He would be an all time legend at his position without the injuries
I remember he was always hurt. He was great when he played but his body just couldn't keep up.
NFL "not for long"
We loved him. But yeah the same playing style that made his career also broke his body.
This dude was one of my fav players he is the NFL version of D-Rose
Legit my favorite player ever. "The light that shines twice as bright burns half as long" -Tyrell
That quote is by Lao Tzu bro
@@patmooney1407 lmao my dude thought it was like a rap verse
I have a bob sanders signed jersey and football from 2009. Any idea where i could sell it?
@@kortmicheal broooo hook me up! lol
I'm born and raised in Indianapolis and we absolutely love this dude here
"Retired but he still working" 😂😂💥 I come for the quality.
🤣🤣🤣 Where else you gon get it from?
As a life long Colts fan, I’m happy you decided to do a video on Sanders. This man, while he didn’t play long for us, is easily one of the best defensive players we’ve had. Mad respect for this man
It’s confirmed he listens to his comments 💯💯 I’ve been asking for this video for a long time. Definitely gets a like from me!
Demetrius Jackson bbggggew
Facts I been asking for him as him
Great video! Bob Sanders definitely deserves his flowers
I’ll never forget watching him crumble 6’5 dudes, absolute legend. Biggest dude on the field ALWAYS
The crazy part is it’s only the 90’s baby who remember a lot of these dudes
Only the 90s and 80s and 70s and 60s and 50s and...
I always remembered that when he was on the field, the Colts defense improved visually and in every statistical category.
I don't think this video did much justice to the impact Sanders had in that Chiefs game the year Indy won the Super Bowl. KC was the best rushing offense in the league that season and that was Bob's first game back off an injury and kept them to less than 50 total rushing yards that game. While he didn't necessarily have the best game himself there was a very visible difference for the whole Colts defensive side of the ball.
Bro if this dude was still healthy he would be a legend
He is still a legend in my eyes 👀
Yo you right bob was one of my favorite players he was tough
Its because of the way he played and hit at that insane speed that caused the injuries. He only played at that one speed . Which is why he is a legend to me. He was clearly a great player and he was gonna be far better then someone like Dawkins. If Dawkins could have played at that speed and hit the way he did at that power hed of had a short career too. Most guys couldn't hit like him if they tried he was a defensive running back. But even if they could have done what Sanders did and played that physical they wouldn't have they'd of played it safe for longer careers but he was unique and that's how he played up until the end. I respect that. And he was a fs in the beginning of his career with colts and later became a ss.and he played the run like a fs but was a ball hawk too watch his highlights around the years they played Chicago in super bowl.
@@tylerdurdeniii4476 HUH?!?!... Dawkins was a tremendous hitter and ball hawk. Heck are u talking about? 😂✌
HOFer if his career wasn’t cut short! Nice video Flemlo!
He was a nominee for the hall of fame last year I believe, h was listed in like the top 100 nominees I believe. Unlikely, but who knows, maybe he gets there (Hopefully lol)
Or if he didn’t play in the same era as ED, Troy and Dawkins
Jim Kane playing safety isn’t always about picks you usually have to blitz and he had almost 100 tackles in two seasons
Jim Kane just say “I didn’t even watch football when he was playing” and keep it pushin
@Jim Kane did you even watch the video injuries are a thing jim
As a lifetime Colts fan, I will never forget Bob Sanders and the impact he had on that 2007 playoff run. I was only about 10 during his run so I guess I didn't realize how bad his injuries were but gosh so many great memories with him the the blue & white.
Damn that was dope. So underrated and hardly mentioned.
I remember playing with this dude in Madden 12
and he always got Injured
Facts
Gus Johnson saying his name is burned in my head forever
I remember hit sticking people with him in Madden 08 would lead to an automatic fumble
@@DaDualityofMan I loved him in Madden 08
As an Iowa fan growing up in the early 2000's Bob Sanders is one of my favorite players of all time.
Speak brother. That game against Wisconsin. 3 fucking picks. Never will forget it.
I have a bob sanders signed jersey and football from 2009. Any idea where i could sell it?
I'm a hawks fan from iowa. I graduated in 2000 and I've never had more fun watching football than that squad. They were straight beasts! Went to 02-03 Iowa-ISU games we stormed the field both times. Go hawks!
Sidenote: I was conceived in the larch dormitory at isu. I even went to isu football camp fr and so year but as long as I can remember.........Go Hawks!
Word. My fave player of all time
A friend of mine who went to Iowa the same time Bob Sanders did asked him how he's able to hit so hard? and he said I try to knock myself out.
chip cuzz I wonder how many concessions he had in his short career
I've heard great hitters like Ronnie Lott and Jack tatum say they try and literally hit through the target like you are trying to go through a wall. Look at highlights of Rohan Marley at Miami the one who dated Lauryn Hill. He was like a college version of Bob Sanders. Bob Sanders, John Lynch , Brain Dawkins, Jack Tatum. Ronnie Lott, Steve Atwater etc... would all knock the snot out of you.
This channel constantly brings back solid football memories. Appreciated and well done
Loved watching him play. He is the reason we won the super bowl in 06... He was just so small and played so hard he couldn't stay healthy.
Bob Sanders was a SUPER BEAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love that dude.
Crazy him & Dallas Clark were teammates in college & the NFL. He was a beast, I remember him. Having Freeney & Mathis rushing the outside didn't hurt.
I’ve been waiting for Bob Sanders video.
My favorite colts player from that Era. Go Colts! Much love from Lynwood CA
My man for making this video. Big Shot Bob was an ANIMAL. He was also one of the fastest players
one of my favorite colts of all time. wish we would've got to see more games of his. dude was truly a missile out there
Haven’t heard about this guy since “The Bob Emergency.” He was literally the last guy with the first name “Bob” in American sports.
Jon Bois is a national hero bringing much needed attention to the Bob recession
Bob isn’t actually his first name, it’s a family name. His first name is Demond
Ah, a man of culture i see
Bob tonyan
I’m dying 😂
I’m a colts fan he’ll never be forgotten probably the best safety we ever had
The most talented hands down but we got more productive years from Bethea
Been here since 10k man glad ur growing and cant wait to see u go to aniother level respect man
I was waiting on this one. He was a beast. He lifted Greg Jones..
👏👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌🙌 I bring Bob Sanders up quite often and it kills me how most ppl dont remember his play and sacrifice!
Dude you're quickly becoming one of my favorite sports youtubers. I love that you don't hold back your personality or try to force it. Love the vid
CUE THE WAYNE!
Omg as a colts fan this makes he happy. I remember when I was in high school I wanted to be like him because I was 5'8 too but I realized how hard it was to 205+ lbs at that height. Dude was crazy
Angel Maldonado imagine being 5"8 205lb and run a 4.3 forty with a 44 inch vertical.. That'sa freak of nature and hard work.. lol they don't make em like that anymore
One of my favorite safeties ever. Legend on all the madden games he was in
Thanks for the video! The Hitman was one of my favorite Hawkeyes at Iowa, and I followed his NFL career closely. What a fun guy to watch play the game. Thanks for paying him tribute.
The most underrated safety ever💯
Naw Sean Taylor
@@jacob9851 sean taylor was not underrated
One of my all time favorite safetys. This man was a problem..especially for my Jags... He would remove your soul from your body. Respect Flemlo, keep pushing. bruh
No team worried me like the jags, they always seemed to have our number. They used to run all over colts d
This was long overdue. Thanks for doing Bob. I was a Cowboys fan, but loved watching #21 play
I was just looking up this dude a few days ago. He was fearsome. Miss that ferocity in the NFL. He was a force to be reckoned with and as a Pats fan you always wanted to know where he was, similar to Reed and Polamalu. Thank you FlemLo. God bless Bob!
Great player for my Colts. I'm thankful I got to see him play. Thanks for putting this together.
Bob grew up two doors down from my grandma...rooted for him hard!
"Bob retired, but he's still working..." 👀 Giggity
The Eraser- What a name. Legend for that alone.
Found your channel just recently, saw a couple videos and had to see if you had one on Bob. I loved watching this dude play. I was a fan a Peyton at Tenn and when he went to Indy, I got the pleasure of watching a healthy Bob Sanders. Dude really was on another level. Every single play, if he wasn't making the tackle, he was about to be, driving dude back so they couldn't fall forward. He was so amazing but ever single snap he played, even as a kid, I was like how is this dude not injured on every single play? Honest!y, the fact he made it through any games at any level without hurting himself was incredible all to itself. Lolz. Loving the content though man.
I am from Erie, P.A. & Bob will never be forgotten I talk about this Exclamation Point everyday!
Been watching the what happened to videos non stop.
Thanks for the quality content my dude
You a patreon or something?
How did you watch 44 minutes ago?
I remember hearing about him in the bob documentary
Fun fact: he was the last “Bob” in NFL history. Pretty cool.
Jon Bois?
Brett Johnson how the fuck is that bob
TotalLyric Jon bois made a documentary on all the bobs in sports, that’s why
@@Boltsandhoes You should watch it. Along with literally everything else he has made.
Just found out about this youtuber. Quickly has become one of my favorites. This dood is damn good!
Bob was a absolute beast!! Sucks to see a guy like that get hurt that much man
I'll never forget Bob Sanders. I considered him in the same class of safeties as Ed Reed and Troy Polamalu
Thats gotta be a joke
He was good but Ed Reed and Troy on another level
Willie Ross bob at the top of his game was the defensive player of the year. If he would of stayed healthy he may have been better than them.
Idk bout that one
@@JP-ml1xe Nah he was on their level for sure when healthy,he just didn't have the longevity because of injuries.
Bob Sanders is a freaking 🐐. The Honey Badger before the Honey Badger!
Bob Sanders was a much better pro at this point than Honey Badger ever was.. 🙄✌
What happened to dj swearinger. Pro bowl caliber player with the redskins to cut by the cardinals after never missing a snap
Fr I love him when he was with the Texans
A dog. But him being too real hurt his stock.
Redskins ruined him, just like they do everything else.
He is a New Orleans saint
Liability in coverage
Man I'm so glad you did this video. I watched him his whole career with the Colts ant he was in fact one of the best safeties I've ever seen. Him and the Bears' MIKE BROWN are 2 HOF caliber high impact difference making safeties whose bodies let them down. A joy to watch. Once again, good stuff brother!
Wow I can't believe I forgot about Bob Sanders in his prime at his very best he was a beast I remember how good he was I can't believe I forgot about him till you just brought him back up
Bob Sanders was my favorite back in the Colts days.... He legit was a ball hawk and a major hit stick
I’m so glad you did a video on him, Flemlo. I remember him running tackling drills at a camp I went to.
Before I watch lets get this straight, Bob Sanders was a beast!
As an Iowan and Iowa Hawkeye fan I had the privilege of watching Bob's college career and his pro days as well. Bob Sanders was a baaaaaaddddd booooooyyyyyy!
Shoutout to you Flem. I found your channel because I love NCAA 14, and started watching your Rutgers series. I appreciated your humor, skill at the game and storytelling ever since. It’s just good to see a black man building something ground up. Keep it goin bro
As a Colts fan I’m so glad we got him even though he was hurt but still got that Super Bowl
Got to meet him when I lived in Phoenix while wearing my Sanders jersey. Love me some #21. Go Colts!
Yo this bull was a monster.great show
I loved him because he was such an impactful guy whenever he was on the field
I loved watching him play whenever he wasn't injured. This man was a wrecking ball on defense and has to get more recognition for overcoming a league of giants
You might just be the best storyteller I've ever seen. I could listen to you explain the dictionary.
I still remember him, he was great, stand up
I'll never forget Bob Sanders!! Ima diehard Colts fan until the death of me!!! I miss the old team Peyton, Edge, Marvin Harrison, Reggie, Dallas Clark, Dwight Freeney, Big Rob Mathis, Bob, And Bethea.. Those were the good days
That was a group eh? Very good
Sheshh those were the days😩😩💯‼️
Yeah i think it was the 2003 or 2004 team
As an Iowa fan, I always thought he was underrated.
I’m from Indiana. He was a MONSTER. Watching him reminded me of how I was during the last game of the nba finals this year. Damn near every play you watched bob sanders in (like giannas that game you just shook your head almost every play he made like wtf did I just see lol).
Bob was a difference maker. I enjoy your channel
I never heard of him until I got Madden 17. That’s the last time he was in madden
Put in some of his highlights. Dude was on his way to being an all time great before it was cut short by injuries.
Finally flemlo made the vid I asked
Thanks brother
I still rock with him on Madden 08 and 09, but I moved him to slot corner.
@@BrockMak well.put dude back at SS he is not a corner
Hit sticking people with him in Madden 08 would lead to an automatic fumble
Bob Sanders from my state so i heard a lot about him when i was in high school and college definitely accomplished alot in a short time
I remember him. I was a BIG fan of Peyton Manning and the Colts back then, so I knew all about Bob Sanders.
Also, FlemLo, your beats are just so damn good, where can I get them?
Send $100 to my cashapp and I’ll send you the song files.
Facts bro I need them
FlemLo you are a badass journalist my friend. I love what you do...and I can tell you love what you do to. Long live the Missle! ✌
I never forgot bob sanders till this day I still bring him up I looked up to this man I respected his game so much if it wasn't for injuries who knows what he would've been
