Not many come along like big bad Jamal. He was an NFL caliber back as a freshman. He could catch the ball out of the backfield, hit the middle with power and the corner with speed, mash people on first contact, and he had track star speed in the open field. Being as big as he was and drawing so much contact...I was surprised he lasted 9 years...but was thankful to watch him.
When i saw him play his Freshman year and the first few games of his sophomore I saw a RB like ive never seen before. He was never 100% again after his ligament tear his sophomore year and another tear 4-5 years later with the Ravens. He was 240 pounds with in game speed like a 200 pounder. One of the best I ever saw and i think if he didnt suffer 2 ligament tears in his knee he would have gone down as a Top 5 historically RB. A special player
One thing that I can honestly say about Jamal and I saw him a lot in person . A rare combination of power , speed, and just pure athleteism I ever saw play in college football.
The same way he ran in the NFL,he ran that way in college, and he did it in the SEC the toughest conferences in the in the country, Just to show you how good he was against the likes of Aabama-Florida,Lsu, Mississippi, Auburn etc.So he didn't go up against average teams 4 of those teams remained in the top 20 of the college football rankings for years.
Great vid! But it's just crazy how he is not in the hall of fame. Over 10,000 yards rushing, over 4.0 ypc for his career, offensive mvp, super bowl winner and 2,066 rushing yards in a season? Maybe it was the drug deals or something he got caught for but he was a freak of nature and who ever watched him in his prime on the Ravens would agree.
Longevity and greatness over an extended period of time.Terryfignly amazing in 2003 but only one pro bowl and that was asa 1st team all pro in 03.Never a pro bowler except that year
On the opening drive of the Syracuse game you knew there was something special about that team. We were clicking on all cylinders that game and the rest of the season.
Aye wat up bra ima true flock memba Baltimore native..i been watchin the ravens my entire life I'm 26 and I remember every season goin back to our first super bowl..jamal Lewis rookie year and he was great 2000-03 04...if u really saw him play its well known Jamal was an all time athletic back. Who had a 3 year run u can put up to any 3 years of any back ever.. This dude in his prime was a legit 240 running a legit high 4.2 ...he literally had bo Jackson type power to speed..i seen this nigga literally break Ian golds neck wit a display of mass and force on the fuckin goal line my nigga!!!
Most underrated running back of all time he had the he had the workload of three running backs when he was with Baltimore look how many carries he had it's ridiculous it's almost as many as Ricky Williams in one season he was badass better than Ricky Williams
He was anything but a "classic" RB, haha. The size of a powerback putting on Barry Sanders' moveset! He was really something else....shame the running game is nearly dead in modern football.
nakamine1713 i don't think you understand. The term "Classic Tailback" refers to the old school aproach to football where the I formation was typically far and away the most common offence. The Tailback would be the focual point and Star of the offence. This style of offence has become less and less common in modern football. Jamal Lewis was one of the best modern examples of a classic tailback. He was the main focual point of the offence and struck fear into the defence like Jim Brown. Jamal would often get 30+ carriers per game. This is unheard in his day but even more so now.
Just now saw your comment. I agree with ya about the running game being an after thought and it breaks my heart! It's changed so much that my heart isn't into it like it once was!
Tennessee may not have that feature back like they did years ago but I think by committee they be in the top 3 in the SEC in rushing yards. The Tennessee offense will be quite possibly the most balanced offense in the country
I love all your videos! By far the best channel for classics highlights without all the slow motion and music. Legit clips of plays and commentary! Keep them coming A+
I use to watch him when he was in high school at Red Bank. Felt sorry for the poor kids out there having to try and tackle him. He was a phenomenal talent and alot of fun to watch
Pockycandy, you are superb, and I truly enjoy your videos, Thank you very much, not a Vols or Ravens fan, but Lewis is just one of those players that was blessed to win championships and be a key contributor for both the National Championship and Superbowl, not to mention there was a long time where he was the Ravens offense. I believe everyone watches the championships whether their team is in it or not and if you watched the big games he was there. I also learned from the comments he was from Atlanta and went to Tennessee (Most the big time ATL backs go to Georgia). Seems to me Tennessee got a lot of great players by saying we have Payton Manning and then won the championship the year after he left...
He did win a BCS national championship at Tennessee and could have won two but NE got in that ass when the was a Freshman but it is an accomplishment to play for two of them anyway :)
seoul_glo why isn’t anybody mentioning that he played on a torn ACL midway through the Auburn game? Remember Henry took over the following week. But still making those moves and out running guys. That was a tough dude. Overcame another blown out knee in the pros. Had the all time highest rush record for a game for a bit. He was special.
#blackdiamondpresscomix.bk19 Jamal Lewis WAS a Super-Underrated Back. wit Much-Skillz! i didn't Trend Lewis den. but, i did kno dat HIM WAS Official No.31 RB shott"outz 2 Vol's fanz Everywhere. signed wit da Sears f/jrjr ??!!yas!!??

This guy highlights are amazing. He had everything you want in a RB. He hit the NFL with the same impact. True BEAST!

1 of THE BEST to Ever do it! 💯
Ncaa 98, I did a lot of sweep right, sweep left with this guy.
Jamaal was a freight train with speed..people forget he was a 2,000 yard rusher this monster is seriously underrated thanks for sharing pockycandy💯
Playa Made As stated before he was a faster version of Jerome Betts 5-11 240 4.40
Lewis was also a beast for the Ravens and one the NFL’s top rushers for several seasons.
@@dwightlove3704 We need a Jamal Lewis type of back right now.
One of my all time favorite college rbs.
Jamal knocked the shit out of Kirby Smart #16 in the Georgia game at Neyland
When i saw him play his Freshman year and the first few games of his sophomore I saw a RB like ive never seen before. He was never 100% again after his ligament tear his sophomore year and another tear 4-5 years later with the Ravens. He was 240 pounds with in game speed like a 200 pounder.

Jamal Lewis ran kirby smart over atleat 5 times in the Ga game lol
A man among boys
Size and speed baby! I couldn’t picture Jamal anywhere but the NFL…
Jamal was one of the greatest RB not only at UT but in the history of the SEC
He was always fun to watch. Fast and Power through contact. I knew he was special his freshman year at Tennessee.
Great highlights of Jamal Lewis especially college.
This one took a while to make, so the compliment is greatly appreciated.
This guy is so underrated Thats its sad. Power, speed and small feet. He had a great NFL career as well. Future HOF if you ask me.
Truly a great one,one of the best to where the orange
It's easy to forget just how talented that 97 team was, and just how impressive it was the 98 team won it all without Lewis for most of the season.
One thing that I can honestly say about Jamal and I saw him a lot in person . A rare combination of power , speed, and just pure athleteism I ever saw play in college football.
That Tennessee offensive line was giving this guy highways to run through. Like, it’s the most impressed I’ve been by a line in this series
The same way he ran in the NFL,he ran that way in college, and he did it in the SEC the toughest conferences in the in the country, Just to show you how good he was against the likes of Aabama-Florida,Lsu, Mississippi, Auburn etc.So he didn't go up against average teams 4 of those teams remained in the top 20 of the college football rankings for years.
What an offensive line. He never got hit behind the line of scrimmage(in the highlights anyway).
Great vid! But it's just crazy how he is not in the hall of fame. Over 10,000 yards rushing, over 4.0 ypc for his career, offensive mvp, super bowl winner and 2,066 rushing yards in a season?

@@erikpuka2627 that's crazy. He only has one pro bowl.
On the opening drive of the Syracuse game you knew there was something special about that team. We were clicking on all cylinders that game and the rest of the season.
Minus t martins 9 of 24 but big rush near the end
He’s the running back in history that most accurately could be described as a bowling ball. Fast, powerfully compact, and always running over guys.
Kirby Smart (GA's current head coach) tackled him at 3:28 😄 Go Vols!
Hr also got run over before that clip lol.
Go Dawgs lol
Thanks for this! I remember he was a tough back, but had forgotten how explosive his speed was.
Aye wat up bra ima true flock memba Baltimore native..i been watchin the ravens my entire life I'm 26 and I remember every season goin back to our first super bowl..jamal Lewis rookie year and he was great 2000-03 04...if u really saw him play its well known Jamal was an all time athletic back.

3:17 free ride for Kirby Smart

TY to the uploader btw. Tought to find late 90's runningbacks on YT since the bots would ban them for so long.
Your welcome! As long as I don't monetize the videos, I should be in the clear.
And the running game is far from dead in my opinion.
nakamine1713 i don't think you understand.

Eric Mack, I finally made the Jamal Lewis video you've been asking for.
man this is great! he was one of my favorite backs! You even have the ole miss game his first game
Reggie Cobb????
Kendrick Jones Possibly....
Kendrick Jones Loved watching Cobb/Webb do their thing and Lewis playing with Travis Henry was a special 1-2 punch out of the backfield.
I love all your videos! By far the best channel for classics highlights without all the slow motion and music. Legit clips of plays and commentary! Keep them coming A+
the way his feet are always moving is what sets him apart. the perfect running back imo.
I use to watch him when he was in high school at Red Bank. Felt sorry for the poor kids out there having to try and tackle him. He was a phenomenal talent and alot of fun to watch
Red Bank? He went to Douglass in Atlanta
Peyton Manning at qb and Jamaal Lewis in the backfield wtf this isn't even fair.
Didn't win it all.
It's weird as hell, we won the natty with Manning gone and Lewis on the bench with an injury.
Watch the bowl games. Opposing team didn't want a piece of several them dudes
@@kobeplayeddefensetoo1351 No BCS when Peyton was playing. If there had been I believe he would have played for one.
@@williamsmith8790 idk
Built like a full back and ran a 4.5. He always gained extra yards after contact
He was faster than that...saw him at Douglass high live
Tennessee had Peyton Manning AND Jamal Lewis?! wtf
This dude could flat out run the rock
Definitely a great back... From Atlanta right?
Kenny Lauderdale Atlanta is correct
Such a beast!!!!

Show of video of him falling back. Few and far. #mydude
Damn... the first run dude bout broke his neck tryna tackle fam lol.. that’s my cousin pops
He did win a BCS national championship at Tennessee and could have won two but NE got in that ass when the was a Freshman but it is an accomplishment to play for two of them anyway :)
in my opinion, the best back tennessee ever had. injury is the only reason he never set the school rushing record.

That was a tough dude. Overcame another blown out knee in the pros. Had the all time highest rush record for a game for a bit. He was special.
Who else is coming here to wonder what TN would be like with this RB and of the offense and awesome QB/WR's we have now?
#blackdiamondpresscomix.bk19 Jamal Lewis WAS a Super-Underrated Back. wit Much-Skillz! i didn't Trend Lewis den. but, i did kno dat HIM WAS Official No.31 RB shott"outz 2 Vol's fanz Everywhere. signed wit da Sears f/jrjr ??!!yas!!??
And remember, Jamal was a 3-Star!!
Awesome video!!!👍
Looks like he ran for 1000 on UGA lol
Freak like Eric berry
anything on Corey Dillon @ Washington?
Hell yeah that was my boy he was a beast
Make a Lamont Jordan umd highlight he was THE MAN there
I never seen his college football highlights
What’s the name of the song at the beginning?
TENN HASNT BEEN ISH SINCE THIS ERA
3:00 isn't even Lewis lol
Wow, that was a big mistake by me!
ok... i see u pocky, lol. now garrison hearst/marshall faulk college highlights. btw... good work.
Thanks :) I try to get all of the great running backs.
Also, I've already made Faulk and Hearst highlights, if you were requesting those players. You can find them in the playlist.
oh yeah... didnt know that. NICE
PockyCandy tyrone wheatly... huh lol. do yur thang homie. im most definitely watching yur video.✌
Tyrone Wheatley sounds awesome. I'll get around to his video eventualy.
I'm sure everybody is gonna say I'm full of shit but I'm the person that coined and was 1st to use the phrase Give the ball to Jamal!!!
I’ll never get why he said went UT. To punish UGA from recruiting him. Living Atlanta and going APS schools we UGA was in trouble
All the horse tackling they did back then to get this guy down
Tennessee was in violation of recruiting procedures when Jamal went to Tennessee. Tennessee boosters went to a small Ford dealership in Dickson Tennessee (200 plus miles from Knoxville) and bought Jamal a Ford SUV. We all took pics of the staff with Jamal. Phil fulmer called the next day and asked us not to put the pic in the local paper. I know because I was the finance manager
at the dealership. They did a 2 year prepaid lease with Ford Motor Credit. They knew he was gone after 2-3 years. I kept my mouth shut because I didn’t want the death threats. Peyton and coach Phil know
Shaun Alexander
Pockycandy start Mobile Qb's
Didn't show all the fumbles.
All he did was gain yards
