2008 rushing yards, 23 total TDs, just 1 fumble, league MVP, 100 first downs, and a Super Bowl win in ONE SEASON. The season before that? 15 total TDs, 1750 yards, 99 first downs, SB MVP, and a Super Bowl win. Oh, and in those 2 years, he rushed for 100 or more yards in ever single playoff game. That is the best 2 year stretch in NFL history, and that is why he's in the hall of fame.
Phyukk Urself He also had 2,655 yards and 23 total TDs in his first 2 years in the NFL and if you add up the 4 then he had 6,413 yards and 61 total TDs within his first 4 seasons. His run was legendary and Denver doesn't win either of those Super Bowls without him. He definitely deserves to be in the HOF
Maybe the best playoff and Superbowl RB ever. When the games mattered the most, he dominated. Some players get in for their lifetime of work. TD's career was short, but it was sensational. His 2008 yards season I don't know how many times he was basically pulled from games at halftime because the game was already over. He probably could have had 2500 yards in all honesty if he played all 4 quarters of those games.
His dedication to his mom was very sweet. His memorial to his dad is heartbreaking. Well done, TD. thank you for your talent and contribution to the NFL and the Broncos.
Congrats TD! You emphatically deserve to be in the HOF. Me, and many other Broncos fans will always appreciate what you did for the Broncos. Pat Bowlen should be the next Bronco in the hall!
@@The_king567 Traditionally, two kinds of guys get in.....those with really long careers, like Tom Brady or Emmitt Smith...or guys with short careers, but careers that nevertheless managed to stand out for some reason...Joe Namath was a great example, as was Roger Staubach. Davis fits into that second category. When you're a major part of an offense that claims back-to-back titles, you generally go to the Hall of Fame.
@@tgriffin3059 and that all wrong because you should have to been good to be in not just because you played a long time or played short that’s the problem
@@The_king567 When you're instrumental in bringing hardware to a franchise, that carries more weight than just putting up stats and going 8-8 every season...
Here's the crazy thing about his 2k season: He could've easily gotten 2,400 yards or more if he wouldn't have been taken out in the 3rd or 4th QTR in the blowouts.
Best postseason running back of all time... averaged 142 yards a game in the postseason... that's why he's a hall of famer. Oh yeah, the 2000 yard season, MVP award, and 2x champ along with being SB MVP helps...
Grew up in New England a Pats fan. The only other team I ever cheered for during that TDs era was the Broncos and it was because of TD. He remains the best running back I had to pleasure to watch in my lifetime
bass reemer, Well, just for instance, among the RBs on your list (plus Emmitt Smith and Barry Sanders), only Jim Brown, OJ and Barry Sanders had a better average per carry than TD, and only Barry, OJ and Dickerson got a 2000 yd season. Riggins and Csonka won Super Bowl MVPs, many of them won league MVP- but I think Emmitt Smith and TD are the only RBs to win both. TD had 60 TDs, averaged over 4.5 per carry, 90 per game, and still racked up over 7000 career yards despite his short career, only Jim Brown and Barry Sanders can boast ALL of those things. And TD's postseason numbers (often lost in the shuffle) are just bananas. He averaged 5.6 ypc, 131 ypg, 1.5 TDs in 8 games over 3 seasons. TD's career was short, but remarkable. When he was healthy, the top 3 RBs in the NFL were Barry, Emmitt, and TD. No ifs, ands, or buts. He is ABSOLUTELY a HoFer.
bass reemer, Well, if you just refuse to accept it, I guess that is what it is. But I've given you the numbers. He's certainly not the greatest RB ever, not even the best in the AFC West (that would be fellow inductee, LT). But is he worthy of enshrinement? Yes.
Yea, the second Super Bowl and League MVP season in 1998-99 was essentially the end for TD. He got hurt early the next season and never really came back.
I would argue he is a top 5 RB of all time... I know I have a policy that you have to have 10 years played to be on any all-time list, but this is going to be one of the few times that I fully give in to my bias.
He'd be top 3 or best of ALL TIME if he kept healthy. I mean goddamn just look at his post season stats , he still leads in those categories today. Also his regular season yardage average would've been well over 2000-2500 per season and that's facts!
I was never a Denver Broncos fan, but i damn well was a Terrell Davis fan!!! He was special, and awesome to watch carry the rock!!! Alright, T.D.!!!!!!
Pat Bowlen should have been in the Hall of Fame and that's coming from a die-hard Raider fan he's one of the greatest owners in nfl history been to more Super Bowls than Jerry Jones and won the same amount as Jerry but Jerry Jones also deserves to be in just saying Pat Bowlen should be in already and Mike Holmgren should be in as a coach
That was a great speech ! Especially talking about his family. TD ....ALWAYS.... delivers in the moment. And pointing out his realization to stay away from street violence is something black men (or any man), should listen too. Greatest is TD.
John Elway, Mike Shanahan, Shannon Sharpe will all say without TD the Broncos don't have two Super Bowls. John Elway would have retired like Marino with no rings. TD is the reason why Elway has two rings period. Yeah TD only had 4 good seasons, but he had better stats than Gayle Sayers, had one of the best postseasons as a runner with his 100 yard games. So you can say he's the Sandy Koufax of runners. Had a short career cut short due to the injury, but while they played they were the best at their position.
Nonsense. Elway was the greatest qb of all time. Terrell Davis was a good running back in a great situation...period. John Elway would be a household name playing in any era, for any team...he was THAT talented, and THAT great. Davis landed in the ideal spot, and took advantage of that. If you need any proof, look at what happened to Davis the year after Elway retired. They came out 0-4....And even after Davis faded, Denver continued to have one of the league's best running games. But there were no more deep postseason penetrations.
Xavier Vega, Fair point, in fact TD is not even the most deserving Bronco- Randy Gradishar is. TD and Warner are certainly borderline picks that wouldn't have happened if they weren't both such likeable people. TO should've been first ballot, but he rubbed ALOT of people the wrong way. His credentials are undeniable, though. Top 5 all time WR in NFL history.
terrell davis was my fave backs growing up i grew up a cheifs fan still am to this day but terrell davis is just a difrent beast when he was in his prime
Terrell was one of those super elite players but also super elite good faith people. Although so very different he reminds me a lot of Demarcus Ware. Just ultra high character and ultra high athletics with a natural affinity for Football
Not TD's fault that his O-lineman jumped into the side of his knee when he was trying to tackle the guy that just intercepted his red shirt rookie Quarterback.
Even tho he’s a hall of famer, he’s still one of the biggest what’s ifs in nfl history. If his career wasn’t cut short and had a few years more in his prime, he would be top 10 or even top 5 no doubt.
Terrell Davis doesn't belong in the Hall. He played from ages 23 until 26, then professionally died and was never heard of again. So basically Terrell Davis produced only on his rookie contract. And another big reason why he would get like 1500 yards is because he would handle like 350+ carries a year at under 5 yards pop. 4 productive seasons is all you apparently need to get into the hall of fame lmao
Jonathan Graf... at least he knew when to quit... it’s sad when people end up a shadow of their former selves, going through the motions and playing the game for pay checks only...
A FB player is defined by the ImPact they made on the game. To deny TD a jacket for longevity concerns is like choosing a middling general who hung on too long with a shooting star who went MIA in order to ensure the victory of two of the highest value military targets in the world. Terrell Davis began his career on special teams, and was the heart of one of the most special runs in FB historee. Free at last!
Did a RB like LaDanian have more longevity and put up career regular season numbers that dwarf TD? Yes. But compare TD's postseason numbers to LT's and you'll see why he was so special.
Let me say this. Last year about this time I was in the check out line at Ralphs and standing in line behind me was non other but T.D. Let me tell you something. This dude looks like he could strap on the gear and start in anyone's lineup. I mean dude looks great...not good,...GREAT!
Davis was the right back for the right system. Alex Gibbs Wide Zone system changed the NFL. The top rushing team is a zone team, and 8 of the top 10 are as well. Is he a product of the system? Yeah. Is there anything wrong with that? Hell no. Nobody has ever run in that system better than TD.
@mtrujillo1973 - That is great and all, but even Alex Gibbs has broken down a lot of film on Davis and his scheme. If TD great? Yeah, he was. He made things happen when he made mistakes. He bailed the team out when the blocks failed. All true. At the same time, there is a reason almost every top rushing team is one which uses the zone scheme and it has taken over football at all levels of play. The 49ers had over 2,300 team rushing yards with a stable of UDFA nobodies and practice squad cast offs. They also led the NFL in yards before first contact. Why? Great blocking in what was a mostly zone heavy scheme, though Kyle used far more power than he normally had in the past to mix it up and attack how defense play against zone. Davis is a direct benefactor of being the first Zone Run One Cut back. Not only was he able to make things happen with the ball in tight spaces, nobody had seen that scheme before and it had yet to be understood/explored/proven to work with cast off players like it has now. Davis himself was a late round pick and special teams body who almost gave up on football while in Japan for a preseason game. The system makes backs look like stars.
Elway is a first ballot HOF'er without his two rings. Without Terrell Davis , he is just like his buddy Dan Marino that he is sitting next to. A first ballot HOF QB with no rings. Elway was 0-3 in SB's before T. Davis, all blowouts. Don't think that these things weren't considered.
Ok, in my opening line I stated that Elway was a first ballot HOFer without his rings, so I don't know why you thought that you had to tell me what I said. TD would not make it into the HOF without a ring? I was not disputing that. In fact, this was my point too. Because TD helped Elway get a ring that Marino and Tarkenton could not get was one of the reasons TD was voted in. Elway could not win before TD. Now, I wasn't comparing TD to Campbell, but its not like I couldn't. Earl Campbell is not head and shoulders above TD, even without the superbowls. SOoooo what you want to do Bass?
And I'M saying and PROVING that you are just being stubborn. I've given you his numbers and accomplishments- the only thing TD lacked was longevity. I didn't realize you were the Representative of "The Rest of the Fans" lol. If TD could get in from JUST support from the Mile High fans, he would've been first ballot lol- evidently at least a FEW others felt he deserved it. Im not saying TD is top 10, he's not. But you don't HAVE to be. There are 32 RBs in Canton now. So is he Top 30? Yes, yes he is. And in the late 90s, he was arguably THE BEST. Better than Barry, Emmitt, Bettis, Martin, etc. Maybe not overall for career numbers- but for his healthy years, TD was certainly right up there- if not at the top.
Lol... I was thinking the same thing. This was 2017 I thought they got divorced in 2016 before I watched this guess I was wrong. But yep she secured the money for life.
I don't care what anybody says dude does not deserve hall of fame two yrs of wrk compared to guys who played for ten ... problem with him in hall of fame is a guy like Chris Johnson probably won't make hof because of t.d cj2k career stats are better
Someone please tell me how do you vote Terell Davis into the Hall of Fame when he wasn't the best back doing his ERA 10 years before or after. I'm very confused as to what the qualifications are how do you explain this to the new up-and-coming players with a straight face how do you explain to them this isn't politics and not about the play on the field. I'd rather see Terrell Owens make it over this guy!!
@mtrujillo1973 wow! So emotional. It’s true. Davis doesn’t deserve to be in the HOF. When you discuss great backs...his name NEVER comes into the convo. Period. Tiki Barber, Priest Holmes, and Corey Dillon should be pissed right about now.
That's crazy. The bronze bust is such a good likeness but it's not black lol. Just kidding. Enjoy retirement TD thanks for making the broncos relative. JE was already making them that but you helped what he couldn't do without you.

Always love seeing Terrell Davis doing the 'Mile High' salute. One of the best touchdown celebrations in the 1990s.
2008 rushing yards, 23 total TDs, just 1 fumble, league MVP, 100 first downs, and a Super Bowl win in ONE SEASON. The season before that? 15 total TDs, 1750 yards, 99 first downs, SB MVP, and a Super Bowl win. Oh, and in those 2 years, he rushed for 100 or more yards in ever single playoff game.

"...all he did that was hall of fame worthy."
You said it yourself.
In his 2000 yard season, he was often pulled from games that were blowouts, he missed a total of 8 quarters, he rushed for 2,000 yards in 14 games.
TDs playoff numbers are far better than anyone else...ever.
One of the best RBs of all time such an awesome Career
This should have more views....and I'm not even a Broncos fan. This man was a BEAST!! Such a short lived career.
Maybe the best playoff and Superbowl RB ever. When the games mattered the most, he dominated. Some players get in for their lifetime of work. TD's career was short, but it was sensational. His 2008 yards season I don't know how many times he was basically pulled from games at halftime because the game was already over. He probably could have had 2500 yards in all honesty if he played all 4 quarters of those games.
I agree. Had he not been pulled in some of those games he probably would've broken Eric Dickerson's single season rushing yards record.
His dedication to his mom was very sweet. His memorial to his dad is heartbreaking. Well done, TD. thank you for your talent and contribution to the NFL and the Broncos.
We have to get TD a bionic knee...dude STILL looks like he could rip off 1800 yards
Best post season running back in history.
ernest roybal shut up that ain’t true
It most certainly is true. Look at the stats. No one comes close
True. Dominant. Like Lawrence Taylor was for the Giants Defense. 👍 Denver Broncos ☝️
Him or Emmitt Smith.both great

Congrats TD, you and barry sanders are best rbs of last 30 years...leo, longtime patriots fan. We sure as hell could not stop u or elway back then
Leo Durocher I disagree. I think Barry Sanders and Walter Payton are the best rbs of the last 30 years.
TD you will always be one of my favorite players. Screw the stats. Thank you for your character.
TD should've played more than 6 years,he would've been a top 7 or 5 Running back of all time
I would argue he is a top 5 RB of all time... I know I have a policy that you have to have 10 years played to be on any all-time list, but this is going to be one of the few times that I fully give in to my bias.
Of course coming from Bronco fans. Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Erikson/ /ESHighLights stats are numbers the eye test is the truth
Injuries

Watching him run against Derrick Thomas twice a year was so much fun as a kid. I wish they would have had more games against each other.
I was never a Denver Broncos fan, but i damn well was a Terrell Davis fan!!! He was special, and awesome to watch carry the rock!!! Alright, T.D.!!!!!!
My Man!!!! this one made me love the game. Terrell Davis=(touch down) will always be my MVP
This was probably one of the greatest speeches I’ve ever heard, and super inspirational!! Thank you Mr. Davis. 🙌😊🙏
Amazing speech by an amazing man. Keep inspiring us TD!
Thank you Mr. Davis. your words and accomplishments mean the world to me.

Shannon Sharp said it outright in one of those NFL documentaries. TD help lift such a huge burden off of Elway's shoulders.
It was a great team. All the way around.

Go Broncos!
Terrell Davis is now in the Hall Of Fame. Now lets get Randy Moss and Terrell Owens in the Hall Of Fame
You got your wish bro
Now put Mark Sanchez in!!
Randy Moss was a first ballot hall of famer, you do know that people have to wait a certain amount of time to get in? 😂

Lets go TD!!!
INCREDIBLE SPEECH!!! SALUE TD
They got TD now they need TO !!!
yea, u know how they are with WRs, he will get in evenually, but he may have to wait, Cause Moss is up next year
Yea, TO will certainly get in, and by all rites should already be in... But being a pain the ass will usually cost you a ballot or two lol
Frankly TO should have been first. TD along with Kurt Warner were borderline. TO is slam dunk material.
He’s in

Mike is so proud. Good for him!

That bust is *INCREDIBLE.* Props to Ben Hammond!
Shoutout to TD for speaking at Castle View High School. It was quite inspirational.
HOF selection in this case was a gift. Had 3 good seasons. That's it. Joe Namath? Same story.
Not TD's fault that his O-lineman jumped into the side of his knee when he was trying to tackle the guy that just intercepted his red shirt rookie Quarterback.

I can't wait to hear tom Brady's speech, crowd is probably start chanting "CHEATER, CHEATER, CHEATER!!!!"
I *LOVE* how much Brady has struggled against the Broncos.
No sucka, real pats fans chant Brady, brady, brady. Haters chant cheater. Go take a long walk off a short pier loser
Elway is a first ballot HOF'er without his two rings. Without Terrell Davis , he is just like his buddy Dan Marino that he is sitting next to. A first ballot HOF QB with no rings. Elway was 0-3 in SB's before T. Davis, all blowouts. Don't think that these things weren't considered.

Better than Barry, Emmitt, Bettis, Martin, etc. Maybe not overall for career numbers- but for his healthy years, TD was certainly right up there- if not at the top.
Rather eloquent speech for a football player. Nice
Go Dawgs, we really are RBU
Better than what Zeke can ever be
Stfu y'all always bringing up Zeke
Xong Lo who are you talkin about?
6:21 My pop's, his 2nd Super Bowl MVP
Finally the HOF gets a statue on point lol
16:50 behind former Broncos great Howard Griffeth is the Mad Fanatic
Good Fathers raise adorable ass daughters. What a cutie pie.
Another black man from southeast san diego to make it to the hall of fame... we produce legendary athletes s/o Lincoln hs nd southeast san diego
Steve Atwater should be next. Better be before John Lynch
Gradishar should be next. Then Atwater.
To be blunt, both Atwater and Gradishar should have been in before Davis.
It's crazy how he mentioned 22 years to this day was his first play and he tackled number 22. Coincidence?
God is good I'm alive still because of God I have a T.B.I(traumatic brain injury) most pain of my life
Denver Beoncos ☝️
My nigha Patrick Willis better be in the hall of fame then 🤔
It sucks that he said all of that about his wife, just for her to divorce him
Lol... I was thinking the same thing. This was 2017 I thought they got divorced in 2016 before I watched this guess I was wrong. But yep she secured the money for life.
Am I the only one that actually watched the full speech?
No
Dam fr. S.D alright
Sour Patch Candy the real winner free advertising thanks to Miles
Tyler Mac I transferred too usc

No superbowl no 2000y no 142yr a game in play off no superbowl mvp
Alvin Frazier u right
mtrujillo1973 man was the only good Seahawks player at the time and that o line
I gota look up his stats
Rispek that's all rispek
When's roger Craig getting in
Vote for pat
I don't care what anybody says dude does not deserve hall of fame two yrs of wrk compared to guys who played for ten ... problem with him in hall of fame is a guy like Chris Johnson probably won't make hof because of t.d cj2k career stats are better
Looks like ur opinion don't count 🤣
only take 10 years TD to get in HOF
It’s stupid he’s in the hof honestly and other players aren’t
I'm like 5th
Lol he looks like a dark skin Kobe
Someone please tell me how do you vote Terell Davis into the Hall of Fame when he wasn't the best back doing his ERA 10 years before or after. I'm very confused as to what the qualifications are how do you explain this to the new up-and-coming players with a straight face how do you explain to them this isn't politics and not about the play on the field. I'd rather see Terrell Owens make it over this guy!!
TD has a case, just not over Owens.
@mtrujillo1973 wow! So emotional. It’s true. Davis doesn’t deserve to be in the HOF. When you discuss great backs...his name NEVER comes into the convo. Period. Tiki Barber, Priest Holmes, and Corey Dillon should be pissed right about now.
First like and 3rd view
G
I can think of 5 running backs more deserving of his spot
Who!?
Vicente Mendoza Chubacca, star trooper, darthVader, Death Star, Han Solo
Tom Brady Shady #WOAT#MaddenCursed#SystemQuartback you forgot boba fett!!!!
That's crazy. The bronze bust is such a good likeness but it's not black lol. Just kidding.
Enjoy retirement TD thanks for making the broncos relative. JE was already making them that but you helped what he couldn't do without you.
STANDING IN THE HALL OF FAME oh and COWBOYS TO THE *SUPERBOWL*
Ezekiel Elliott W
Ezekiel Elliott w
Ezekiel Elliott w
Ezekiel Elliott Lol yeah right
W
The wrong Terrell got in this year
MrShanester117 get over it
Brittalicious
It's not my jacket so I'm not 'under' anything to get over. Just want Owens to get his
MrShanester117 and obviously he is gonna get in, but that shouldn't take away from TD's accomplishments
1st
Terrell Davis making the hall of fame gives hope to Giants running backs and we all know they're trash.
Tom Brady Shady #WOAT#MaddenCursed#SystemQuartback god ur dumb
