IMO the 2001 Miami Hurricanes are the greatest collection of college football talent of all time. And many on that team considered Clinton Portis their best player. The greatest story I ever heard was that in 3 years, nobody ever saw him with a textbook and he didn’t own a backpack 🎒. I always tell my HS students that unless you’re better than Clinton Portis, do your homework.
Favorite running back of all-time. There have been better runners but Portis remains my favorite. He was such a smooth runner, especially at Miami and in his first few seasons in the league. Even after the injuries robbed him of his speed, he became an efficient power runner. He was also one of the most violent back I've ever seen in pass protection.
man he was my fav shame about all the concussions. his decision making skills as a runner were outstanding. as soon as he knew where he wanted to go with the ball he made the cut.
Portis was favorite rb growing up, Den got the better end in the trade for Bailey. But I wonder how Portis' career would have been if he stayed in Denver another 5-7 years.
Luc Arce Frank’s a BAD MAN but still can’t see that when comparing their respective ‘U’ years. Clinton by far. Should’ve been top 5 pick in the League that year.
Gore was faster and McGahee was stronger (maybe faster, too), but Portis was so smooth, so patient, so decisive, and he was able to hit his top gear so quickly that he made it look easy. I'll bet UF wishes they had let him play RB?
@@gsactotube comparing their " u " years idk . this was probably the deepest college team of all time in terms of nfl talent and they nearly all considered Portis the top player on this team
Clinton Portis had rare footwork, balance, and vision. One of the truly great running backs from RB U!
Such an underrated all time back, his nfl run was very very impressive

U sound like me!! And I'm not arguing,going back/forth about it!!! I love how he runs!! Sidebar: MY FAV ALL TIME RUNNER IS TONY DORSETT!!
He was so good at that stop start juke. Freeze em & bounce it out so easily.

Portis was the best RB in Cane history. Wasn’t my favorite at the time but putting favoritism to the side there isn’t any I’d put over him.
Break It Down Frank Gore >>> Clinton Portis

He really is
Underrated everywhere he was
Please do a Roscoe Parrish there’s barely any college tape on this man and he was electric at The U
Hey Colton Matt Bailey from Monarch Highschool you got any old highlights of Texas players from the 2000's?

Commentator: There gonna have a dilemma next year.
Willis Mcgahee: Hold my beer
@@gsactotube truuuuu
Would you please do Lamar Miller and Devin Hester
Bro I know Devin Hester he from our city of west palm beach aka the raw everyone knows him and his ppl
He was one of the greatest at following his blockers
You should do one about mcgahee and Duke Johnson ken Dorsey and the list can go on and on with guys from the u
His contact balance is unreal
Mr.C.P. Awesome Running back..🙌
The U baby
Vision is next level
Please please please do the same for Willis Mcgahee and Frank Gore
Could you do Edgerrin James please?
Portis runs with great vision
Who would be his most accurate modern day comparison?
Breece Hall in his first 5 - 6 years and then someone like Joe Mixon his last couple seasons.
Alvin Kamara ran like Clinton
Reminds me of Emmitt smith the was his balance was

Clinton Portis had some wheels!
That boy had vision
That’s why Shanahan drafted him, he fitted well in his blocking scheme.
Portis at Miami>Mcgahee at Miami
Both greats though

Bubba Franks
My man
You missed 1 TD vs West Virginia in 2000.
Stacey Coley
Just think Frank Gore was the original starter.
Amazing running back
Power and speed
In the nfl they ran him to the ground or else he'd have as many as gore
Ain’t he in prison?
