"John Lynch didn’t just play the position, he occupied a spot in your mind and you had to be aware at all times where he was on the field." - Barry Sanders
A safety like Lynch would be banned in today’s water down football. He was one of the last hard hitting safeties in the league. But most impressive is what a great human being he is. There’s a reason why the San Francisco 49ers are a top echelon team. His leadership and management is the reason.
Facts York ran the team into the ground by moving the stadium to fuck knows where, firing Harbaugh in favor of Jim Tomsoula, and many other dumbass things
Should have let John finish his career with the Bucs.damn shame.always a Buc.in my opinion.never set right And always bothered John alot you could tell Everytime he mentioned it.we still And will always love John Lynch in Tampa.
Walsh is the greatest saw Ronnie & Lynch potential as well as Rice, Dwight, Craig, Montana & Young. Great coaches but no GM close maybe Brown his former boss.
What humongous difference having John Lynch as the Niners GM, as opposed to Trent Baalke (combined with Jed Dork actually). Thanks for saving the team, John. And if Jed ever again tries to run things, let him know that you're the boss, please.
Hold on, he played minor league ball, AND then went back for another year of eligibility at Stanford? I thought they were strict about amateurism back then?
Lynch would be that ddinosaur that had a huge lump of bone on the top of its skull that it would use to ram enemies in mating contests or self defense. Scientists have calculated i t could hit about as hard as a Humvee at 30mph.
Now Gruden knew the plays because he was the Raiders head coach and he installed them OK and they were dumb enough not to change them. That’s not cheating that’s an advantage, but that’s not cheating. They didn’t record them and then break them down and practice against it ahead of time. I they practiced against it ahead of time, but at a John Gruden’s memory, no one videotape.
Trading 3! first-round picks ( 2021, 2022, and 2023) & their third-round pick in 2022 for Tray Lance was beyond moronic. Never mortgage your future for 1 player.
NFL may have curated the highlights to make it so, but he is squared up an face up on his hard hits. Refs would probably still flag him for the ferocity.
No lie, he was that type of player though. And that's what I loved about him. He didn't have to blind side you. Head up, hard to shake. Even Barry Sanders and Marshall faulk experienced some tough hits from lynch
How does a person play pro baseball then be allowed back into college thats rules violation.?? Thats like steve Young going to law school and playing byu same time??
Nope... if you play a different pro sport, you can still play a college sport if you have eligibility remaining... back in the day, you couldn't go pro and then be on the Olympic team. I only know these rules because I googled

That whole Bucs defense would be fined
This world would be a much better place if there were more men like John Lynch!! What a stud!!!
Wow...that is all I can say about that...I sure do miss 90's Football!!! Here's to you 47 RED!!! 👊😎👉💯👈🚫🧢
💜🏈💜
They are the kind of couple that grows more gorgeous as they age.
John Lynch was a hard hitting white boy!!
-------Warren Sapp
Can't say that he wasn't
@@brandonwilliams2165 That was a direct quote from Sapp.
Lynch is so humble in giving credit to the coaches & players who helped him take his game to the next level. Loved to watch him play.
A fantastic episode of Football Life. John Lynch is truly, an extraordinary human being.
John Lynch got his NFL start in Tampa Bay.......and will Always be a Tampa Bay Buc!!
Can we share custody....I'm a Broncos fan
And a damn good GM!!!
John Lynch built the 49ers defense from ground up by drafting Warner, Greenlaw, Bosa, Hufanga.
He saved the whole organization. I will NEVER give Jed Yorks sorry ass credit for anything thats been built since John Lynch been here
Facts York ran the team into the ground by moving the stadium to fuck knows where, firing Harbaugh in favor of Jim Tomsoula, and many other dumbass things
Can't forget about the work he did on offense too. Drafting Deebo, Kittle, Aiyuk, and Purdy.
@@PlusUltraAdrian When Herm Edwards was coaching at ASU, he recommended Lynch draft Aiyuk.
Bros a legend and hit so hard most tackles he went to the huddle with his eyes rolling to the back of his head ~
Awesome how John had a relationship with the 9ers all this time that I didn't know about. Now he's our GM and what a team they've built.
And I was at Warren Sapp’s rookie game in Philadelphia. His first start and I knew he was going to be special. I knew it before the draft.
Amazing inspiration!!! God bless 🙌
I’m glad that Lynch and Barber went to the hall of fame
I'm slightly biased, but I think that John Lynch is a great player, and an even better guy.
Brooks looks exactly the same with grey. Also i wish i could see how well that 02 bucs defense would do in todays game.
They would have to call it off after a series.
@@michaeltaylors2456 or they'd be the most penalized team in the league. no falling or driving QB's into the ground...no hitting receivers..etc. etc.
This was A+
Derrick Brooks is one of my favorite people of all time. He was legendary at FSU, and even better at Tampa Bay. Bravo.
Brock purdy just saved him from the debt of the King's ransom
I think Lance was a Shanahan pick
@@Tubbyfedcop808it wasn’t
Barely LMAO
We will see
@@Tubbyfedcop808Lance getting drafted was higher than Shanahan
Glad he played when he did bc he would be in nfl jail for those hits today lol
Lynch was always a Hall of Famer, but his induction was overdue. Still glad he's in. The Buccaneers need to retire his number
47,40,20,99,55 are all retired and hung at RJ......and all are Dinosaurs .....
47,99,55,20,40 are all retired and hung at Ray Jay......they're also all dinosaurs except 40, who was on the 2024 votings..
Four men were a T-Rex
Barber
Lynch
Brooks
Sapp
That’s what they were
They took no prisoners and showed no mercy
To add this, it's amazing how Bill saw the great in John Lynch.
Should have let John finish his career with the Bucs.damn shame.always a Buc.in my opinion.never set right And always bothered John alot you could tell Everytime he mentioned it.we still And will always love John Lynch in Tampa.
This guy is a fuckin stud
Interesting to hear your perspective. I learned of Kells when he was at UNH with now Coach Ryan Day. Enjoyed the conversation.
John Lynch for President 🔥🔥🔥
They should do a football life for Derrick Brooks, Keyshawn Johnson, Marvin Harrison, And others
You do know Derrick Brooks has one right 🧐
I think this dude was or is trying to bait people into something that doesn't need to be discussed hehe
@@rayshardsmith2546 he doesn't. Derrick Thomas does though
@@brandonwilliams2165 brooks does have one
John Lynch looks like if Wes Welker took the Captain America serum
Rich was a perfect example of a great qb that really never had a great team due to the teams he played on !
Walsh is the greatest saw Ronnie & Lynch potential as well as Rice, Dwight, Craig, Montana & Young.
Great coaches but no GM close maybe Brown his former boss.
Linda’s brother John Allred played TE for the bears 🐻
I remember when Lynch popped John Allred pretty hard
He didn't even look back at him!
Thank you for everything 47 THANK YOU! -Buccaneers-
I hated tha Bucs for tha rest of my life because of that SB Loss lol. Still stings to this day and I was 9 years old when we lost that lol
I was a yr older than you at the time.

21:47 you heard it and so did I.😂
He couldn't play in today's NFL..IT WOULD BE TOO EXPENSIVE!
Can't hit hard in today's NFL. So yeah he wouldn't be able to play, he'd be suspended lol
Lynch would be that ddinosaur that had a huge lump of bone on the top of its skull that it would use to ram enemies in mating contests or self defense. Scientists have calculated i t could hit about as hard as a Humvee at 30mph.
The latin nomenclature for that species was Marvelouso Haglericus I believe ...
If you watch him hit he is not violating any current rules. All of his hits are clean. This guy was a beast, but he was in no way a dirty player.
@@gerryleb8575 cmon he led with his head alot, and hit defenseless receivers. He'd be executed at halftime for his antics
Well alot of the new rules are less about eliminating dirty play and more about protecting the massive investment teams make in their skill positions
@@lovedavantlamour301 whatever it's about, half his hits would draw a penalty if not a fine
5:26 Cunnilingus Rice!🤭
Sounds like a Mexican dish.
2:45 oh Good Lord how I LOVE TO HIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTT!
My Bears still scored, though! #BearDown

Wow
47 Red.😁
They had to change the team color to be great.
Tennessee shohld take note.
How hilarious and random is it for rice to be in this……..
Trading a kings ransom for Lance only for them to trade him to the cowboys for trade bait
Great camera work guys! Could barely see his reaction on that knock! Jackasses
Why condaliza Rice talking ?
Classmates
@@brandonwilliams2165 and she's Stanford's Provost ( at time of recording )
Help me out here, im 90% sure lnch started out as a linebacker
Quarterback. Then safety. But he hit like a linebacker
Ah yes the rigged super bowl
LMAO I've heard the theory on that too
Ah the saltiness of raiders fans never get old
Yep
Watching this I realize how weak the NFL has become.
@@jamescampbell2829 oh it was violent. Trust and believe.
