He was sacrificed in Washington, thanks to Mike Shanahan. Champ Bailey was a great return; perhaps the best trade in Bronco history. But the career of Portis suffered mightily.
Eh, he got $50m and is one of the "Commanders" all time leading rushers. Not too bad, but he was robbed of a 2k yard rushing season in his 3rd year with that trade
Anyone else here bc of the interview he did where he said he was hungover for this game? 😂 that makes this performance so much more legendary for that reason
Does anyone want to see Priest Holmes after watching Clinton Portis afterwards? They both played in the same time frame and both were real good at the same time.
The Broncos got a better deal when they traded for Baily. Portis turned into a Prima Donna when after he was traded and said he was always hurt. In the mean time Baily played his best football with Denver.
Not gonna lie I was a little heated when Clinton Portis was traded away but we end up getting the better end of the deal with Hall of Famer Champ Bailey
Same, I remember thinking that trading a Star runningback for a star corner was a dumb idea. But Clinton Portis went downhill after the trade and Champ Bailey went on to become a first ballot hall of famer.
@@denverbroncosarchive2263I always wonder had he not been traded what kind of records he would have broke. He was tearing it up his 2 years with the Broncos. If you think about it we havent had a rb like that since Clinton Portis was traded.
K L yes but you got to remember shanahan produced 6 other 1000 yard runningbacks alongside Clinton Portis. Every runningback succeeded in that system. We didn’t really need Portis. Mike Anderson and Tatum Bell did amazing replacing Portis.
K L also don’t forget in 2004 when Portis was gone, Rueben Droughns came out of nowhere and finished top 10 in rushing in 2004. All the runningbacks were killing it. But you’re right though Clinton Portis would’ve went on to great things in Denver had he had stayed.
One of the best draft picks of all time. Get him in 2nd ( Known to be 1st rd value at the time ) Get 3 great years from him. If not his 3 best years , 3 of the 4 ( one season in Washington was similar to his Denver production ) After 3 years trade him (pretty amicably) for Champ Bailey and a 2nd rounder ( Tatum Bell ) Bell wasn’t as good as Portia of course , but he ended up giving pretty good production for a 2nd rounder overall. Champ is Champ.
I don’t know why madden video games don’t do like nba where u can go to play now n choose to play wit these old teams n old players like Portis vick or the 2000 ravens like come on
I was a junior in high school during Portis rookie year. Portis was excellent when he was in denver
The most talented RB in Broncos history. I can only imagine what his franchise numbers would have been without the trade.
Terrell Davis.
@@1roundleft821 bye
@@1roundleft821 I’d argue Portis was more talented.
@@1roundleft821more talented is portis all the way
@@1roundleft821 😂😂😂 Portis is lights years better than Terrell. Good laugh! ..that’s Home Grown from THE []_[] !!
Jeeeeeesus!! His acceleration was insane

@@brentjansen166 so money fixes everything?
26th on all time rushing leaders played during era of throwing the football. Not shabby.
@@myimorata7678 yes.... it does
@@kidbugatti You say that cause you have no money.
What an incredibly smooth runner. Almost hides how explosive and fast he’s actually moving.
Alternate title : Clinton Portis Exposes the Chiefs
Pretty much😂
Portis was raw and talented , guy was hungover in a couple of these games and still killed it
Reminded me some of LaDainian.& was Leveon before leveon bell.He was a Beast!!🔥💪
Ain't no comparison between him & Leveon !! Leveon didn't have the jets CP had. The only reason you're thinking about Leveon because of the jersey #
@@Tone22845 number wasn't even a factor and commented because they moved a little similar nothing more lol not a big deal lmao
It always seemed like he was shot out of a canon - just so fast and explosive - when he played in Denver.
The best running back ever
Watching these highlights, I realize I never understood how fast this dude was.
He ran a 4.2
Anyone else here bc of the interview he did where he said he was hungover for this game? 😂 that makes this performance so much more legendary for that reason
It wàs so fun watching him play
I was so mad when he got traded, but that Bailey guy turned out pretty well
Yessir Champ
Does anyone want to see Priest Holmes after watching Clinton Portis afterwards? They both played in the same time frame and both were real good at the same time.
I always wondered what would have happened if the Broncos could have aquired Bailey without giving up Portis..
The Broncos got a better deal when they traded for Baily. Portis turned into a Prima Donna when after he was traded and said he was always hurt. In the mean time Baily played his best football with Denver.
Facts!
It's all about the []_[]
First clip was literally a madden juke 🤣🤣insane no one tackling that
I'm not a bronco fan but y'all had him y'all was scary but how you not have have his chip blocks them things was scary good

K L How about the time when Bill Romanowski led with his head and hit Portis in the back and took him out for awhile?
He was special

Champ is Champ.
You think the Chiefs were happy when he got traded to Washington?
Forsure
Clifford Portis touchdown!
Ruben Droughns????

I know right! I would love that
Denver never won a championship with Champ. I bet Clinton would have sniffed 2k one season if he stayed in Denver
Bailey was a great player but I’d rather have seen what Portia could have done in Denver for his whole career.
Lol hell no
@@Bouncing22 why? No SB with Bailey. Will always prefer franchise RB over a franchise CB.
Dang, Portis sure seemed to like the Chiefs.
🙌😎
💰💰💰💰💰
Well we can call him the Chief killer
Looks like a 2020s player in the 2000s
I bet they called him clint
Lol, did he play well against anyone but the Chiefs?
He averaged 1500 a year i believe…so dominated every team
Bears ruined Cutler's potential in Denver
Clinton Portis to bad he got to greedy
David From Colorado that’s what happens when you can ball
What the hell your referring to??
Don't you dare talk bad on the name of Clinton Portis what the hell are you talkin about?
He didn’t ask to be traded
