Classic Tailback - Darren Lewis Texas A&M Highlights

  • A compilation of some of Darren Lewis' highlights at Texas A&M University. More notorious for his post-football criminal activities, Lewis was a tank for the Aggies during his prolific stint in College Station. He was a powerful runner who didn't care about how stacked the box was, as he pounded defenses for 4 years as a Heisman candidate before moving onto the NFL. He could also throw some nice option passes.
    The games I used to take the clips from can be found on Stephen Barnett's youtube channel (and there were a few other channels I used as well that you can find if you look around): / sbbarnet. .

    Another week, another video of an obscure tailback that has been forgotten by time. Of course, he is now more famous for getting prison time, but I didn't know that until after I started the video. Darren Lewis was really entertaining, but for some reason, this one was a chore to get through.
    As always, I hope that you enjoy the video. Feel free to tell me who you'd like to see next and all that good stuff.

    Darren Tank Lewis was the best tailback to ever play at A&M. Such a tragedy how his life turned out due to bad choices.

    In Oak Cliff, we called him Tank.

    My man tank was the greatest in my book. He influenced so many running backs here in oak cliff Texas. I remember he was the talk of the town as a little league player. His popularity started as a child. I went to school with him from elementary on, and this dude was nothing less than the most humble kind kool dude. He always showed me love even though we were not hanging buddies but just knew each other from the hood. I remember being on junior varsity at CARTER HIGH School and having to scrimmage against Darren and the Varsity team for practice. I so badly wanted to finally be able to claim the status that I took down the ''great'' TANK Darren Lewis. Unfortunately that task still remains unclaimed today LOL!!! The one play as I had a clear shot at him he knocked the LIVING DAYLIGHT OUT OF ME!!!! Love you homie and hope to see you back home soon!!!

    As impressive as Lewis is, I can’t help but find myself just watching Robert Wilson the fullback here. What a masterclass in lead blocking

      He was punishing those linebackers.

    • @t9190kp

      He wasn't bad with the ball in his hands either! Pull up the UT & BYU games from the '90 season. He gets several nice carries in those games! BYU game was notable for how the defense just totally abused Heisman winner Ty Detmer! Both shoulders separated if I remember correctly?

      I didn't even know who he was until I saw his name next to some gaudy stats.

    I used to love that backfield of Richardson, Lewis and Wilson. Watching replays of the games afterwards, I'd often just watch Wilson to see who he was going to de-cleat this play, he was such a great blocking back.

    • @t9190kp

      Wilson wasn't a slouch with the ball in his hands either!

      Plus my son has now got to watching these with me . He tends to like the guys playing now which is normal but but is starting to realize most of these guys on the videos would be beasts just as much as anyone today !! so youngins' are getting history lessons !!!! lol

    • @PockyCandy
      @PockyCandy  7 лет назад +1

      It's really cool to hear that your son enjoys my videos too. The entire reason I started making these videos was so I could learn about older players. No one on youtube had made actual, in-game highlights of collegiate studs pre-2000 (aside from a smattering of channels here or there), so I decided to make my own. Eric Dickerson was the first guy I was curious about, so I made his video first. And so it began hahaha

  • @85passthru

    Robert Wilson was a stud fullback/road grader.

    • @PockyCandy
      @PockyCandy  7 лет назад +2

      Indeed he was! The guy could carry the ball a little bit too.

  • @johnpoulton9446
    @johnpoulton9446 7 лет назад

    Also only as a suggestion, because i dont know how much effort it takes to find all the clips you do , (its amazing really !!!) but id imagine its quite a bit. If these enough stuff out there for a Gaston Green one while he was with UCLA. i used to watch him run and man could he play !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • @PockyCandy
      @PockyCandy  7 лет назад +1

      I looked around, and I found a lot of UCLA footage available. So he will probably get a video at some point.

      Yeah I just saw the news on the ESPN that he passed. Unfortunately, growing up I didn’t get to view lots of A&M games. I immediately went to RUclips to see some clips of him playing.
